The name of this fragrance comes from a rhyme in George Orwell's novel ‘1984’. The rhyme illustrates the protagonist's past, who remembers the rhyme but no longer knows the end. Various characters gradually add new parts of the rhyme until the last part forms the end of the second part of the novel. Symbolically, the use of this rhyme represents the almost complete erasure of the past, as only a few people still know it and with their death, the rhyme, or rather the past, is lost forever.
Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's
You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's
When will you pay me? Say the bells of Old Bailey.
When I grow rich, Say the bells of Shoreditch.
When will that be? Say the bells of Stepney
I do not know, Says the great bell of Bow
Here comes a candle to light you to bed And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!
