Gedolim perfume
PARSHAS HASHAVUA - TOLDOS
ריח בני כריח שדה
(תוספות (תענית כ"ט ע"ב quotes the
יש מפרשים that יעקב
smelled like an אתרוג.
The מהרש"א attempts to explain, that since the fruit of
the עץ הדעת was an אתרוג, (according
to one שיטה) perhaps
that was also the same smell of גן עדן that יצחק
smelled on יעקב.
Perhaps, this is the reason the גמרא כתובות
ס"א says
A mother who eats Esrog will have pleasant
smelling children. The smell of גן עדן/אתרוג. אמבצי **************************************************************
The אבן עזרא -רות ג:ג writes
וסכת. שמן
שיש לו ריח טוב כי כן מנהג גדולי ישראל אנשים ונשים.
The Minhag of Gedolei Yisrael both male & female is to wear
nice-smelling perfumes.
Perhaps, they had Esrog perfume and wanted to
smell like גן
עדן אמבצי
