JADS International has decided to release a line of perfumes based on The Avengers, including a “Yuzu, bergamot and tarragon create clean, clear top notes along with unexpected accords of water lily and nutmeg,” scent that apparently reflects the scent of The Hulk. While the colognes probably don’t smell anything like the real heroes would smell like, you have to admit that it’s probably a lot better than the sweat, blood and testosterone scent the characters would probably have in real life.
Gentlemen, sometimes it takes a woman’s perspective to make these things clear, so here goes: we do not find the smell of fat electricians sexy. Maybe some wives of fat electricians do, but probably not even all of them do. The rest of the colognes and perfumes on this Mental Floss list are pretty much the same.
Well, who wouldn’t want to smell like Old Blood and Guts? Here’s your chance. The US Army has licensed a cologne inspired by General George Patton:
It’s advertised as a woodsy blend of lavender, citrus, coconut, cedar, sage, tonka bean, bergamot, lime, and the ad copy says it will “elicit feelings of majestic woodlands and endless horizons.”
The US Air Force has one, too. It’s called “Stealth”. The Marines’ cologne is called “Devil Dog”.
