Quelques Fleurs is the name of a perfume made by the company
Houbigant, and I recall it existing as far back as the early
1930s: not considered one of the more 'elegant' blends. It
fits well with other perfumes mentioned in ADA, and with, of
course, the "perfumed garden" thread.
A propos of nothing, Chose is used by one of the Bronte girls
as a pseudonym for Brussels, where she attended school: it also
means "whatyoumaycallit" in French -- one remembers the novel
"Le petit chose" (note masculine), Anglice "Little whats-his-name".
