Group 3 - Blue
Hint: all four are famous perfume names: an angelic Mugler scent, a designer nickname in two syllables, a Calvin Klein fixation, and an Yves Saint Laurent classic named for a poppy product.
FAMOUS PERFUMES

Group 4 - Purple
Hint: each word starts with something that clouds the air: a Creedence frontman starts with fog, a witchy plant name with haze, a polite title with mist, and a Venetian water bus with vapor.
