Just when I started to think that perhaps I need to supply more clues, Benvenuta guessed the answer! Clement Gavarry’s favorite movie is indeed The Big Blue (Le Grand Bleu). The movie was one of the most financially successful French films in the 1980s, and played in French theaters for a whole year. It’s release was initially blocked in Italy, because Enzo Maiorca (the real-life diver and inspiration behind the character Enzo Molinari, played by Jean Reno) felt that his portrayal in the movie was unfair. Jean Reno connects The Big Blue to The Da Vinci Code, in which he plays Bezu Fache. And it is yet again the very active Jean Reno who released a scent called Jean Reno Loves You, created by Nathalie Lorson, the IFF perfumer based in France.

Congratulations, Benvenuta. Please send us your address to madebyblog at gmail dot com, and the bottle of Insolence will be on its way to you. Thank you, everyone, for playing, stay tuned for another quiz coming soon.

    YAY! I love that movie, too, that`s why I didn`t have to think for very long. It took me a moment to realize the connection to to The Da Vinci Code (that abomination of a movie, but I like Jean Reno in anything), but once I remembered Bezu Fache, I knew.

    Allow me to compliment you on your great taste, Mr.Gavarry!

    I feel so smug now! You`d laugh if you could see my face.
    I think this makes a nice occassion to re-watch that amazing movie.
    I`m looking forward the Insolence, I`m not a fan of its top notes, but the drydown is lovely.

    You should feel smug! I would have never ever guessed it…Now that I know what it is though, the movie totally fits with the image of Clement I have my head πŸ™‚

    Oh man (I mean, congratulations Benvenuta)! From now on I shall never sit silent again. The picture immediately made me think of The Big Blue, but uncertain as always, I kept my fingers tight. Great movie, but it sure has been a while since I last saw it πŸ™‚

    Insolence arrived last week. Thanks once again!

    I also watched The Big Blue again and, again, I was smitten with underwater sequences. Great movie.
