The favorite perfume of powerful Egyptian "she king" Hatshepsut ( meaning, Foremost of Noble Ladies ) may be resurrected from residue found in a 3,500-year-old perfume bottle . Hatshepsut is generally regarded by Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs, reigning longer than any other woman of an indigenous Egyptian dynasty , now her queeny scent will last for ever .
The bottle, which was found in the queen's possessions after her death in 1457 B.C., is engraved with a hieroglyph of her name , The thin neck "allows a very economical dosing of the valuable content," according to Michael Höveler-Müller, curator of Bonn University's Egyptian Museum. A small clay stopper would have kept the oil from spilling.
identifying the substance will be completed , possibly within a year, re-creating the perfume is expected to be the next step , as many cosmetics companies are eager to capture the Queen's scent . and manufacture a product upon which they can place with great confidence the catchy phrase : ( Smell Like a Queen)
