Abano Perfumed Bath Oil

This is the 1/5 FL. OZ. size of Prince Matchabelli Abano Perfumed Bath Oil. Discontinued by Prince Matchabelli who introduced it in 1931 with the slogan "Abandon Your Cares to Abano", . Its fragrance notes are oakmoss, orange, patchouli, lavender, herbs and grasses.. ID=Miniper32

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."
