Abishag

April 10, 2006

Hi everyone,

I've been on this list for quite a while, but this is my first post.

Since all of you have provided a wealth of knowledge to the group, I

was wondering if any of you may be able to provide some information

on a perfume I'm researching.

International Flavors and Fragrances helped to create a fragrance

back in 1990 called " Abishag " . It was a perfume inspired by flowers

mentioned in the Bible, and was created for an exhibit

called " Cosmetics of Ancient Times " for the Israeli Museum. Someone

I know purchased this fragrance at an estate sale and has not been

able to find it since. I have found very little information online

about it, although an article hosted on High Beam seems like it may

have some information, but I don't have a subscription to read the

full article

l~R~+(Abishag).html?refid=ency_botnm). The person I know who

purchased it has lost the tag that came with the perfume, which

described its history and fragrance notes. She says she remembers

the tag mentioning something about the perfume being created from a

recipe found in an ancient tomb.

Has anyone here heard of this perfume? If so, any information you

could provide would be appreciated. I've heard it compared to Estee

Lauder's " Private Collection " perfume....and that perfume was

possibly inspired by Abishag.

If you are aquainted with this fragrance and can provide a

description of it for me, I would greatly appreciate it.
