Still, it's been trademarked since 2001 and you wouldn't think that info was hard to come by. Have to agree — it is REALLY silly.

Cos if no arrangement can be reached and the fragrance ends up getting pulled (or at least, relabelled) this first batch will all be "limited edition No. 1s". ;) :p Does this mean we should all rush out and go buy a bottle quick?

There's also a medium-sized city in California called Alhambra, and I can guarantee that there are all kinds of "Alhambra" liquor stores, car washes, delis, mini-malls and nail salons emblazoned with that name! The more I think about it, this seems silly! Although it's a site that's hundreds of years old — I can't think of a good comparison right now but I'd never imagine that it's a protected name.

While I think the Alhambra is one of those places one MUST see in one's lifetime (really), the idea of oranges and a scent called "Oranger" more strongly evokes for me the mosque/cathedral in Córdoba, which has a huge inner courtyard filled with neat rows of beautiful orange trees. Ah, the memory. Maybe they just should have called it "Oranger Andalus" That's interesting.
