So there was some guesswork involved. And poor me, can't say more than I am allowed to say sometimes, which is a bummer. But then again, I can reveal whatever I or we have guessed correctly, right? ;-)<Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-38966244011192937412010-09-26T14:44:43.419+01:002010-09-26T14:44:43.419+01:00Abyss,

Wow.<br /><br />Yes, Ukiyoe does fit the "tales to be told" theme, but judging from the recent delicate political issues between Japan and China I don't know if having a Japanese name will allow an easy expansion into the Chinese market.

I wonder how it'll differ from Giacobetti's Hiris. <br /><br />It sort of makes sense, though, Hermès even have a leather colour this season called Iris (a brigh bluish purple, a bit like that on the Hiris box).
