How can they afford to sell it so cheap?

I preferred your title. To Smell Like the Emperor?

I suspect much depends on the date on St Helena….

Reminds me of the apocryphal story about Queen Victoria and the Duke of Wellington. They walked past a battalion of the Guards at drill, and she asked, "what is that peculiar smell?" He replied, "esprit de corps, ma'am."

I can't imagine he smells very good now…

But then, ultimately, we will all smell like the Emperor :)

Are we sure he used eau de cologne as scent? I was under the impression that this habit started among men in the 1930s, with Hermann Goering a noted advocate (which probably retarded than promoted the uptake in certain markets).

What if rather than rubbing it into himself he rubbed the stuff into toilet seats, furniture and what not?
