DeleteHi, I tried finding the info for you, but I have come up empty handed. It is not currently being made and has not being made since around 1996. I do not know who holds the current licensing rights for the perfume other than the company itself. I do not know if it is still current, but, you may wish to try to contact the Nettie Rosenstein Perfume Company at the following address:

Hello. Marilyn Miglin, the creator of Pheromone perfume, holds the license to Nettie Rosenstein's Odalisque fragrance. I believe the company owner in New York, who held the license before us for many years, retired. Please feel free to call 1-800-322-1133 or www.marilynmiglin.com, for more information about Odalisque...Hope this is helpful...
ReplyDeleteMy mom wore this in late 1950s & early 60s. Wish I could smell it again.
