sillage¹

Where it comes from

Borrowed from French sillage (literally “wake”).

noun sillages

  1. countable, uncountable The trail of scent left behind by one who wears perfume. The smell was everywhere back then, especially at college parties, which reeked of the stuff (I also remember sillage clouds of Eternity For Women hanging in the air as well). […] [Drakkar Noir] had face-melting power, with 24-hour longevity and sillage that could kill a plant.

sillage²

noun sillages

  1. alternative, countable, uncountable Alternative form of silage
