Note that one of the phrases is a trademark for a men's cosmetic, two are women's clothing styles, and the other is attached to a rarely-used or -understood word that was briefly fashionable in certain circles (i.e, it's an idiom). Grecian urn was a popular phrase in the 19th century, when Grecian was in fashion. That's all; just the remains of deceased adjectives. | |
