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 explains, 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"אsays
A mother who eats Esrog will have pleasant
smelling children. The smell of גן עדן/אתרוג. אמבצי
The אבן עזרא
-רות ג:גwrites
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
