"The perfume industry has long followed conventions: nice-smelling ingredients, usually derived from flowers and plants, are blended into a harmony of aromas, creating fragrant concoctions to allure and delight.
But an emerging trend is seeing perfumers break with tradition, as they look to diversify in an over-flooded market. Cheese, cars and the smell of sweat are just some of the latest scents to be captured and bottled for a market eager to try unique and individual new perfumes.

I understand they're marketing a limited edition to Hezbolla: goat cheese scent, or for the real man, just goat scent.
Cool! Another cheese thread where I get to say "I like cheese!"
I use a little cucumber oil for a scent.
Okay, where's the one that smells like moose?
How about stinky feet!
I believe one of them is Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.
Some interesting ideas for scents, I guess.
i think hot dog water would be nice.
LOL... Maybe a little baby formula. That stuff smells!
Victor DiGiacomo strikes again.
Anyone who knows anything about perfumes knows that the best perfumes have long included "stinky" ingredients.
Ambergris, a coveted ingredient, it basically a whale's sun-fermented found-floating fish-bone "hair-ball." Other ingredients come from the rectal glad of a civet cat, and such.
This is a silly article.
I'll just bottle my workout runoff and make a ... killing!
The good news is that, for only $50 a bottle, not only can you smell like you've just pumped iron for 2 hours, you can also keep vampires and werewolves away, control noxious weeds, and peel paint.
Must be French.
