DING DING DING Your'e Right Again

What happened to Sherapop's question?

I'll post my question now quickly, before Flaconneur comes up with another stumper

Mine are always easy:

Which perfume was alluded to by the Al Pacino character in the film The Scent of a Woman?

This should take someone all of five minutes...

First you need to specify, as many people confuse the two homonymic names:

"Fleurs de Rocaille" (1933)

or

"Fleur de Rocaille" (1993)

But you were right: you initially said "Fleurs" (see above), which is the 1933 version! It's very confusing, but the film and the newer perfume were released around the same time (maybe even the same year?). The one with the extra 's' is the early perfume.

Just let me know where everyone is ready for the "stumper".
