I was beginning to feel I hadn't done my homework properly :-)<BR/>I agree with you that Guerlain had some ulterior motive behind this: it's just so unusual and weird for a perfume name. If they meant to evoke the caviar, surely the very salty and slightly iodine smell would better fit an ambergris perfume (?)Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-57769906601432697162008-12-17T13:41:00.000+00:002008-12-17T13:41:00.000+00:00Don't pay so much attention to it, not even every ...Don't pay so much attention to it, not even every russian knows the difference.
