About the Game
Welcome, students, to your final exam at the Perfume Academy!
Prepare for the most gloriously absurd test of your life. Your examiners — eccentric geniuses with a twisted sense of humor — have crafted challenges that will make your head spin.
"The Essence of Monday Morning"? "The Aroma of a Broken Dream"? "Eau de Forgotten Leftovers"?
Your mission is to create these and many other legendary scents from the "finest" ingredients on hand: think mothballs, a whisper of stale strawberry, damp drywall, and baby powder.
Each round, one player becomes the Examiner and secretly creates a bizarre perfume using Essence cards. The other players study the scent, discuss their theories and try to identify the correct Perfume while placing Choice tokens to indicate both their guess and its intensity. The closer your deduction, the more points you score.
Can you convince your friends that nostalgia smells like old socks? It's time to think fast and follow your nose — wherever it may lead.
