Amber link
editWhen describing the fragrance notes, the page mentions "amber" and links to the page for fossilized amber resin. Perhaps it should link to ambergris? Deviantgoods (talk) 02:04, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
So fixed. BorgQueen (talk) 13:43, 19 February 2023 (UTC)- Actually, no. Amber says: Although when burned, amber does give off a characteristic "pinewood" fragrance, modern products, such as perfume, do not normally use actual amber because fossilized amber produces very little scent. In perfumery, scents referred to as "amber" are often created and patented to emulate the opulent golden warmth of the fossil. BorgQueen (talk) 11:39, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
Did the Chinese-American committee dissolve?
editArticle says,
"In the United States, a group of Chinese Americans demanded a change of the name and a public apology from Saint Laurent for "his insensitivity to Chinese history and Chinese American concerns." They formed a committee called the American Coalition Against Opium and Drug Abuse, which expressed outrage at the choice of a name representing "a menace that destroyed many lives in China.""
What happened to this committee? Did they fade away? Did they give up their fight against the name? Greg Dahlen (talk) 19:14, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- No idea. Sorry.
