I would like to dedicate this shot to the man I went to meet in Mantova


The perfume box reads "Sushi Imperiale", which should act as a clue...

Gee, I wonder who the man can be? Sushi perfume? That's what I always wanted to smell like fish! Not! "Hold tight, hold tight , I want some seafood mama, shrimp and rice that's very nice" an old song my Grandpa use to sing. So did you meet Mr. Gaiman, the sushi king? Still, have a fever. If I have to stay here much longer I'm going to ask my friend to bake me a cake with a my car keys baked in it!

I think (hope) it does not smell like fish but is just a revamp of the old "Eau Impériale" that Guerlain had made for the Empress Eugenie at the end of the 19th century, only with a Japanese twist like use of cherry blossoms, maybe a hint of plum.
I don't know.
The shop was closed, otherwise I would have got in and demanded a sniff.
If I ever stumble upon the same perfume again, I shall run an olfactory test and report.

Actually I have done some research and it does not smell like fish at all (where did they get that name from?)
