Expert difficulty features the Hint button recharging slowly, interactive zones not being highlighted, and penalties for too many bad clicks.

Once the bottle of perfume is filled, you can use another Hint. Hints are unlimited but require time to charge. The Hint button will become the Skip button during puzzles, but will require a certain amount of time to pass before you can use it.
