Gaultier² has to be one of my favourite perfumes. I was looking for a new fragrance online. The Internet can sometimes get weird and there’s always something that grabs my attention. So here are 12 weird perfumes that I found intriguing. Some of them have a strange shape and the others smell stranger.
1. Cannabis Santal by Fresh
Weird: Nope. It doesn’t smell like cannabis.
Fact: The perfume has a “masculine blend of rich fruits like kumquat and dark plum mingled with patchouli, magnolia, chocolate, vetiver, and vanilla musk”.
2. Minajesty by Nicki Minaj
Weird: The shape of the bottle (to me) is like a sculptural representation of a transvestite version of Nicki Minaj.
Fact: It’s a unisex frangance that is a mix of red berries, lemon and peach magnolia, frangipani, orchid, tonka bean, vanilla and musk.
3. Eau de Stilton by Stilton
Weird: It was created to promote their cheese and yes, it smells like blue cheese.
Fact: It was intentionally created to smell like that!
4. The Malignant Dreams of Cthulhu in Love Black Phoenix Alchemy lab
Weird: It smells of an ancient cosmic entity that never existed
Fact: The book existed and it’s called, ‘The Call of Cthulhu’.
5. Champion by Davidoff
Weird: It’s shaped as a dumbbell. Using dumbbells make you sweat.
Fact: It is one of Davidoff’s well-known perfumes. Personally, I love Cool Waters.
6. Fakhrul Arab by Al Haramain
Weird: It’s more unique looking than weird. Unless, like me, you too seem to think of it as the head of a golden rooster with coloured gem stones stuck on to it.
Fact: It exists. And I just compared the bottle to a bird’s head.
7. Fragile by Jean Paul Gaultier
Weird: It’s a freaking snow globe perfume bottle!
Fact: It isn’t one of Gaultier’s insanely successful fragrances.
8. Konvict by Akon
Weird: It is a perfume named ‘Convict’ with a ‘K’ by Akon and is in a handcuff shaped bottle.
Fact: He also has a clothing line called Konvict Clothing. Clothing is spelt with a ‘C’. Phew!
9. Only the Brave by Diesel
Weird: Not at all! In fact, it’s an awesome design that fits the name.
Fact: The shape and design of the bottle comes from a tattoo on the hand of it’s owner, Renzo Rosso! And it magically showed up in front of me while I was writing the post!
10. Zombie for him & her by Demeter
Weird: Perfume based on zombies. The notes in the male version consist of dead and dying vegetation, mushrooms, mildew, moss and earth. And the female version has notes of of dried leaves, mushrooms, mildew, moss and earth with a touch of Dregs from the bottom of the wine barrel for that feminine touch.
Fact: This is the Demeter saying, “”No one can avoid being a Zombie, but no Zombie has to smell dead and decayed”.”
11. Paint by Wode
Weird: The bottle sprays cobalt blue paint with the scent. The paint then disappears leaving the user with just the scent.
Fact: They have another version called Scent, which is just the fragrance minus the paint, if you please!
12. Perfume flacon as a jewelry by Alena Fajstova
Weird: You can now ‘wear’ your perfume
Fact: It is pretty convenient to carry. I’m not so sure about the fashion statement part of it. Gaga monsters, what do you say?
There are plenty of weird perfumes out there. Some involve scents based on human body fluids and oh, there is one that smells of bacon and apparently is known to exist for a long, long time. Personally, I am curious about the Zombie by Demeter and Paint by Wode.
Which one would you choose?
