Rules of the Game
See what your nose knows with our game dedicated to the culture of the olfactory universe!
The game is composed of 120 questions about perfume and 40 olfactory challenges to awaken the senses.
For two or three players – or even in teams! The rules of the game are simple:
Take turns answering questions about the world of perfume and completing olfactory challenges! The first player to win 12 cards (4 colors, 3 levels = 12 cards collected) wins the game and becomes the Master of Perfumes! The winner can then create a fragrance by combining three of the game’s scent pens.
The perfume culture game cards are as follows:
- Questions/answers: 4 color categories with 3 levels of difficulty (amateur, connoisseur, expert).
- Players must pass all 3 levels to become a Master! The answers to the questions are on the back of the cards.
- Ready, Set, Sniff!: this card presents an olfactory challenge in which the player must smell one or several scent pens. The olfactory facet table on pages 18 and 19 of the booklet can be used for assistance.
- Create a fragrance: this card presents a brief with a type of perfume to design. Refer to the table on pages 22 and 23 of the booklet to help you accomplish this task.
- Mystery: if you draw this card, you must return it to the bottom of the deck. Another player then draws the next card from the top of the deck and chooses which of the three questions you must answer.
- Temporary anosmia: oh no! If you draw this card, you must skip your turn!
- Master Parfums: this card must always remain on top of the deck to hide the next questions. On the back is an explanation of a fragrance composition (the olfactory pyramid).
How to use the scent pens
When you smell the pens, hold the tip of the pen a couple of inches away from your nose. If a pen touches your nose, its scent may remain on your skin and prevent you from smelling the other scents properly.
After smelling the pen, be sure to use the correct cap (it must have the same number as that on the pen itself) and to close it firmly (until you hear a click). This will help your pens last as long as possible.
Design a perfume sketch with Master Parfums
If you draw a “Create a fragrance” card, you must combine scents to create a fragrance from the olfactory family indicated on the card.
To do so, you can refer to the “Create a fragrance” table in the booklet on pages 22 and 23.
To create a fragrance with the Master Parfums olfactory game:
- Take a blotter and select the three scent pens that you believe you need to create the fragrance of the olfactory family indicated on the card.
- Trace a line at the top for the top notes.
- Trace a second and third line in the middle for the middle/dominant notes.
- Trace a line at the bottom for the base notes.
It is important to trace each line on a separate line to avoid contaminating the scent pens. This would alter their original scent and distort all of your future fragrance creations.
To discover the fragrance that you created, simply wave the blotter under your nose. This olfactory stimulation will revive your senses and that of the other players! It’s up to you to create the best combination to become a master in the subtle art of perfumery!
The winner of the game becomes the “Master of Perfumes.” This new title allows the winner to create their own fragrance with 3 scent pens of their choice.
