MEDIA ADVISORY, April 29 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Pope's Cologne was featured nationwide on the "CBS Sunday Morning Show" while Pope Benedict XVI was visiting the United States. Since then orders have been pouring in from all over the country at an astonishing rate.

"People seem surprised at how much they like the freshness of the fragrance and many have never previously experienced a classic- style, Old World cologne. So this is very new and exciting for them," says Doctor Fred Hass , founder of Excelsis.

"We are also receiving a great deal of interest from Catholic gift stores," he added.

The Pope's Cologne is made from the private formula of Pope Pius IX (1792-1878) with the same essential oils that his perfumer used 150 years ago.

With elegant, gift-worthy packaging and modestly priced it is available online at www.thepopescologne.com
