peer agreement (net): +1dagger-like applicator, spatula Explanation: It appears that a "touche-oreille" is that rod fitted inside the top on a perfume bottle that one uses (or used, in the 1950-60s) to apply perfume to earlobes (in particular), wrists, etc. Some say it is called a "spatula". In this case it is a rebirth of the "touche-oreille" in the form of dagger. http://toutenparfum.aceboard.fr/239516-6529-6125-0-cote-echa... http://www.osmoz.fr/mag/news_parfum.asp?ID=2767 |
