not bad
for a lad
who couldn't
come out
I remember, some dozen years ago,
being astounded when Guerlain an-
nounced the men's fragrance with
this portrait. Instantly, the im-
age struck me as spot-on; but why,
even from the land of Grétry, did
a scent emerge to commemorate this
personality? Rather than quibble,
Guerlain did a very Coriolanic
thing - they simply renamed their
product, soul of a hero.
William Shakespeare
Coriolanus
op. cit.
And it is not even a good Guerlain!
