A fragrance that is truly heaven "scent"

In honor Pope Benedict XVI's upcoming visit to the United States, Monastery Greetings is now offering The Pope's Cologne. The Pope's Cologne is made here from the private formula of Pope Pius IX (1792-1878). The recipe was faithfully followed by Dr. Fred Hass (who happens to be US Poet Laureate Robert Hass' brother) and, therefore, the longevity is also authentically that of a perfume from that period.
Recently, The Pope's Cologne received a scholarly and glowing review from noted perfume critic, Marie-Helene Wagner, in a recent publication of "The Scented Salamander". An excerpt from her review follows: "Judging from the cologne itself, it shows a man of refined taste who obviously valued subtlety, elegance, and even the rare. The scent has an ancient charm about it, especially when the floral notes start being felt, that is quite remarkable." Well it appears she better like it or she will have to answer to the Pope's boss. You can check out the new scent at www.MonasteryGreetings.com.
