Olfactory Outrage

-

What's the most scandalous fragrance in the world? The French perfume "Secretions Magnifique­s" by Etat Libre D'orange is most certainly one of them. Once dubbed the most controvers­ial scent ever put on the market, it would have any wearer smelling like a myriad of human excretions—sweat, blood, saliva and semen. While these excretions can naturally be found in the body, the idea that they should be flaunted shocked the world on a different level. While the fragrance certainly has its fans, other users have likened the smell to "wet dog", "a Victorian operating theatre", "faecal remnants" and "nausea, nightmares and fear"
