Did You Know?
| Trivia | The title comes from a perfume called 'Narcisse Noir' from Parfums Caron, founded 1904, one of the oldest remaining 'Parfumerie', solely devoted to perfume. This scent was created in 1911 by Ernest Daltroff (1867-1941). The Young General knew it as being supplied by the Army and Navy stores in London. It is still available with 'orange scent, with secondary jasmine and rose'. See more » |
