orange glow. Cheret is able to suggest the cozy intimacy of a fireside scene to
advertise this cool-tasting mint liqueur. Another subtle graphic touch is the

PAI-XXXII, 152) "In 1976, Jean Get, a young chemist in the town of
Revel in the Haute Garonne district near Toulouse, decided to create the ultimate
creme de menthe, and gave his product a name which would remind the buyer of the
English word "peppermint." The original Pippermint still accounts for
some 70% of all the creme de menthe sales in France. The headquarters still remains
in the founder's hometown (Revel)" (Wine
Spectator, 2)
