Carmen de Tommaso, better known as Madame Carven, died yesterday at the age of 105. You can find tributes at The Telegraph, Le Figaro (in French), and Hollywood Reporter. From Women's Wear Daily:

In 1954, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Liberation of Paris, she dropped samples of her fragrance Ma Griffe tied to small green-and-white striped parachutes over the French capital. Carven went on to launch several perfumes, including Eau Vive and Vétiver, the latter inspired by her husband Philippe Mallet.
