    lt does but toilette had a different meaning during the time the term Eau de Toilette has been invented. So the funny cross reference is a random artifact of language change.

    Although perfume has also been used a lot to cover the smell of unwashed bodies especially during Baroque.

    So it is perhaps a fitting reference nonetheless :-)
