This article implies Thutmose III destroyed evidence of her rule.
Today, most experts think Amenhotep II was responsible for this, not Thutmose III.

Fascinating. I hope we can keep up with them until they complete the analysis. Perfume is a favorite topic for me.
Anyone else who is interested might enjoy the brilliant and witty Luca Turin, a biochemist who works in the fragrance industry and who has written a wonderful user-friendly book,
The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell.
He and his new wife, also a “nose,” wrote Perfumes: The Guide, a review of thousands of perfumes. When he doesn’t like something he has you FOTFL with his scathing critiques. I.E., a famous, expensive Paris perfume smelled “like the inside of a Moscow taxi.”

Well dressed Egyptian are often depicted with strange blunted cylindrical objects on their heads. These are perfume cones made of wax and flower scents. Egyptians of both sexes shaved their heads and wore elaborate wigs; it saved a lot of trouble back in the days before shampoo. To make things more pleasant, they would put perfume cones on top of the wigs and let their body heat slowly melt the wax to release the scent. It must of worked pretty well because you can see different paintings of Egyptians wearing perfume cones over a span of thousands of years. See the link below for an example.
