Prince
Matchabelli Abano After Bath Cologne Huge
6 Oz
This bottle stands over 7 inches tall and
is missing just a bit but there is still
PLENTY left. Prince Matchabelli Abano After
Bath Cologne originally held 6 oz, I would
say there is over 5 ounces left to bath
yourself in. RARE AND HARD TO FIND.
Matchabelli
(known for his crown shaped bottles) put
on the market a bath oil, very strong, called
Abano. It was advertised quite a lot in
Vogue (also the French Vogue). The next
year, 1936, Matchabelli put on the market
the perfume Abano and it was advertised
again a lot. They insisted that the perfume
was put on the market to offer the fragrance
version of the strong and dark bath oil.
It was said also that Abano the perfume
was a fresh version of the oil (you needed
only 2 drops in your bath to get perfumed
all around) "delicate but strong, seducing
but light". The advertising in Europe
had a strong purpose: the big international
Exhibition held in 1937.
In 1937 Vogue Paris an article dedicated
to new perfumes said: "what Americans
usually call foundation perfume is an oil
exaggeratedly perfumed and only few drops
mixed in the bath water are enough to form
a fragranced base that will not leave you
the entire day."
Discontinued
by Prince Matchabelli who introduced it
in 1931. Its fragrance notes are oakmoss,
orange, patchouli, lavender, herbs and grasses
