Default You'll Love This Soap
My wife and I are house sitting in England for three months, and one of the first things I saw in the first home we're looking after was this.
Part of me hoped it would smell like gasoline or posi diff lubricant, but no, it smelled like soap.
It's definitely from France, and I think the Corvette was some sort of a fast escort to protect larger ships.

Actually the first Corvette ships were around in the 1600s. Read the entire link.
