Bouquet de Caroline by Guerlain. The perfume was named after Caroline of Brunswick. Caroline of Brunswick (born Caroline Amelia Elizabeth; 17 May 1768 – 7 August 1821) was Queen of the United Kingdom and Hanover as the wife of King George IV from 29 January 1820 until her death in 1821. She was Princess of Wales from 1795 to 1820. She was wildly popular with the British people.
