Want to Smell Like Marilyn Monroe?
Fragrance from Celeb DNA
In some of the weirdest news to cross our desks here at LimeLife, it's been claimed that very enthusiastic celeb lovers may be able to literally smell like their favorite celebrity--through a DNA analysis procedure that is claimed to be a "secret."
Perfume producer Antiquity says that their "secret process" uses the smell of a certain celeb's DNA to create a custom fragrance, and they are using strands of deceased celebs' hair to do it. Even if DNA has a smell (can we get a scientist up in here?), I have a feeling it would be totally unappetizing.
If you're into the secrecy of the whole process, you might want to know that current options include Einstein and Marilyn Monroe. Wouldn't spritzing on some Chanel No. 5 do the job just fine if you want to smell like Marilyn? I'm obviously not one of their target customers, because I'm having a hard time believing that 1) People can actually do this and 2) DNA smells like flowers, vanilla, musk, and cinnamon.
Not only does this sound like something that should be in a museum or a science show, but it seems to ignore the whole "respect the dead" thing for a gimmick. Would you buy a perfume that makes you literally smell like your famous celeb, or does it also creep you out?
