    What the heck is a Professeur des Parfums? Is that a title he gave himself or a post he actually earned… And if the latter, who awarded him said post if he is the only one in the world?

    He was an “ambassador” for Guerlain for some years, whatever that means, but don't know where the title came from! And since there isn't anybody else w/ the title, I don't guess there is any “official” way to earn it ;-)
