Well it does. And now you have a chance to wear it.
Evidently there is a new craze of obscure bodily excretions being paired up with commercial products. Following along the lines of breast milk ice cream and blood and semen fragrances, sh*t is the next new smell.
Self-proclaimed perfumer Jammie Nicholas has bottled it up and is charging $80 for it. The History of Shit by Dominique Laporte apparently inspired Nicholas’ stinky fragrance, entitled Surplus.
According to the book, Laporte suggested “pleasant smells were used to cover bad smells, so it could be suggested that a bad smell could be used to cover pleasant smells.”
Maybe it’s just me but I was under the impression that perfume and colognes were designed to make you smell better, not worse.
Nicholas told Vice magazine “it took about a week to extract the essential oils from the various raw materials to create jars of eau de shit”.
Perhaps even more surprising then creating such a scent, is the fact that there are actual buyers out there. Surplus has already sold 25 bottles of the 85 created.
