Richard E. Grant is a noted teetotaler who played one of cinema’s greatest lushes in Withnail and I. Now, the actor is shifting gears by introducing Jack, a British-branded, pot-scented perfume, that—well, it’s like he went all Mad Libs on his next career move, because this just seems bizarre.

Pizza is one of the awesomest things made since sliced bread. I’m still somewhere in the middle though, when it comes to these pizza-scented fragrances from the Demeter Fragrance Library. While the idea is completely fun and out there, I’m not sure I want to go to work smelling like a freshly-baked pie.
The scent is described as containing notes of “tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, [and] a touch of oregano.” In short, it will probably leave you smelling like your average pizza pie.
The cologne is just one of Demeter’s many pizza-themed offerings. Others include roll-on perfume oil, body lotion, shower gel, massage oil, atmosphere spray, and atmosphere diffuser oil. You can find pricing info on Demeter’s site.

Nothing smells more inviting in the morning than toast. If you want to conjure up images of hot toast and warm fuzzy feelings associated with a full stomach in the morning whenever someone comes close, then you might want to grab a bottle of the Federation of Bakers’ Eau de Toast.
It’s a toast-scented perfume that’ll give you the delicious scent of perfectly-toasted bread with every spritz.
Models at the London Fashion Week will be wearing the scent during the event. You’d have to wonder, though, if what they’ll be wearing has anything to do with breakfast or food, because that’s probably what everyone at the show will be thinking of once they get a whiff of this.
If you’re over 18 years old and live in the UK, Isle of Man, or Channel Islands, then you might have been able to score a free sample of the stuff before they ran out. For the rest of us who don’t live there, then we can only imagine the smell of this new scent. Obviously it’s pretty easy to imagine.

Want to smell like Superman or Batman? Now is your chance. When you’re fighting crime, you want to smell your best. Otherwise, at the end of the day you are just going to smell like Joker sweat from beating up the Clown Prince of Crime.
You wear that tight suit all day and night, you fight bad guys, you fly around or zip from one building to another. You’re bound to work up quite a sweat. That’s why a super hero needs a super cologne.
The Batman cologne smells like Bergamot, Lavender, Black Pepper, with Cardamom, Geranium, Warm Patchouli and a hint of Vanilla Bean and Musk. The Superman version smells like Fresh Ozone, Ginger Zest, Lemon Sorbet, Crushed Greens, Nutmeg, Blood Red Grapefruit, with hints of Warm Amber Egyptian Musk. They each sell for $19.50 over at Hot Topic.
No word on when you’ll be able to smell like the other members of the Justice League.

Fragrance company Demeter makes the most of what was relatively a small niche of specialized fragrances. By specialized, we mean that they shy away from making the typical floral and musk-scented perfumes that you normally find in stores. Instead, they make perfumes with the weirdest and most atrocious scents.
Their latest offerings are these zombie scented perfumes for men and women.
The Zombie for Him fragrance is formulated with the scent of dried leaves, mushrooms, mildew, moss, and earth. In short, you’ll smell like a decomposing corpse once you spray this on. Zombie for Her is a “A slightly lighter version of the Men’s fragrance with a touch of Dregs from the bottom of the wine barrel for that feminine touch.”
A 1 oz. cologne spray sells for $20(USD), while the 4 oz. bottle sells for $39.50. Since they’re only going to be available through April 30, you might want to stock up for the zombie apocalypse. Or you might just save yourself a few bucks and just roll around in your front lawn instead. Pat the dirt away and voila – instant zombie-like scent.

In Japan, retailers are asking their customers: “Why don’t you be like chocolate for your loved one this year?”
Masaki Matsushima’s perfume “mat;chocolat” makes you smell like dark chocolate with a hint of fresh fruit flavor, blackcurrant and rose.
It’s not a sickly sweet perfume, it is more of a bitter dark chocolate smell. So why not be dark, mysterious and delicious this Valentine’s day?
Seriously, Samsung, what the heck is with the scented cellphone patents? This isn’t the first, or even the second time you’ve thought to put pockets of perfume in a handset. This latest patent is slightly different from earlier concepts, we suppose. We see this one has a scent refilling station built into the charging dock. So, when you set the phone down to charge the battery, it also “charges” the aromatic sponge in the body. It’s also notable that this isn’t a passive scented strip or a spraying mechanism. Instead the “absorbant material” is heated, either by the battery directly or by circuitry triggered as part of an alert. So, every time your hippy buddy calls, your phone could blast Phish and fill the air with the scent of patchouli (or, something else…).

Ah, the smell of real honest to god books. There’s nothing quite like it. The smell of a book can instantly transport you back to something amazing that you once read. But sadly you can’t get that smell from E-books. Actually, now you can.
Paper Passion will make your reader or tablet smell just like books of old. Hey, you wear perfume or cologne, why shouldn’t your E-reader? Okay it’s really meant for you to wear, but it makes more sense to spray it on your gadget in my opinion. It will set you back $115(USD) for a bottle, packaged in a matching, but unreadable book.
The “new book smell” perfume was commissioned for the Wallpaper magazine Handmade exhibition in Milan. But I have to ask, what about “old book smell”? That smells pretty good too. There’s nothing like the smell of an ancient paperback.
