"Soleil Vert" in Lolita
Hello ! I have a question concerning the French perfume called "Soleil Vert", why this name in particular? I feel like it could be an allusion to something but I can't quite grasp it. It is mentioned in Humbert's poem and in another passage, referred to as "French perfume".

And never closed when I kissed her.
Know an old perfume called Soleil Vert?
Are you from Paris, mister?
