Curiously enough, the second part of "flacon" does have something like this meaning in French, although it is more usual to use it as a term of abuse, something like "a**hole" or "s**thead" in English. It can also be used as an adjective to mean "stupid" or "idiotic." The French like this word and its variant "connard," which is generally used to mean something like "fool" or "idiot." A more polite word for the female part is "chatte," which has the more endearing feel of "pussy" in English, kind of warm and furry.
The French word for whale, however, is "baleine," so I don't see where the whale comes into it... (Ahem [cough cough]). "Blanc de baleine " is spermaceti. (Don't get nervous, boys, this is just the stuff they used to burn in those whale-oil lamps they used in great-grandpappy's day.)
BTW, a lot of the French-speaking SAs I've encountered in the States don't use the word "flacon" at all when referring to the container; they say "bouteille" (bottle), perhaps under the influence of English. Hélas... ce qu'ils font de notre belle langue!
Hi G Man,My opinion is that it should be fine as long as you do not expose the juice to air and light, it should be fine. An atomiser is very strongly recommended, as you say you're going to be wearing it every day. If you open the flacon every day exposing it to the environment, it will lose its lustre quickly.And I also think it may be tough to complete 8.4 oz in a years time, but if you're not going to rotate colognes, it might be possible.In short, if you take care not to expose it to excessive light and temperature and store it appropriately, it makes a lot of sense cost-wise.Good luck, and congratulations with your Creed purchase. I envy you.
