Scent of a half-orc
 
http://www.kawaiianpunch.com/2011/04...only-1750.html

This is a random website that somehow appeared on my page, and I thought I should post it here for everyone to laugh.

Quote:

In order for the perfume to sell, it must embody- or at least be branded with- something that the average would want to emulate.
Like an orc?

If you've ever wondered what an orc, half-elf, paladin, or neutral alignment smells like, then today is your lucky day!
The "neutral alignment" sounds like WW (well, more like the rules to it, on the sticky thread). :rolleyes:

And, to cap it off,

And who wouldn't want to smell like these fancy gentlemen?
I had a laughing fit over this.



Anyway, read for yourself, I won't ruin it anymore for you. ;)

Perfumes for D&D geeks?
 
Oh my goodness, who buys that??? :D

Although my second thought that these would be hilarious gifts for geeky friends... :rolleyes:;)

Anyway, it's also worth a laugh to follow a link to the online store the article discusses and scroll down the page to see the selection and the description of the scents. Anyone here who would like to buy a perfume with halfling scent - porridge, kukui nuts and pastry crumbs?

And that's not even tho worst or the funniest. Gosh these things must smell ghastly!

I think it's only a mock advertisement, but it's still funny.

My favourite is the Dwarf one - Iron filings and chips of stone, Styrian Golding hops, and soot-covered leather! How mad a fanatic one should be in order to actually use that? :eek::D

Some of them are hilarious...Fighter sounds like it would smell disgusting though: Leather, musk, blood, and steel.

Elf doesn't sound half bad though...Pale golden musk, honeycomb, amber, parma violet, hawthorne bark, aspen leaf, forest lily, life everlasting, white moss, and a hint of wild berry.

The site is rather interesting. They also have scents inspired by Alice in Wonderland, The Seven Sins, Dorian Gray, and The Last Unicorn, to name a few.

Eau de Gobelin the new fragrance from Estee Mordor.

Should the Downs capitalise on this idea with Scent of narfforc? :D

Parfum de Bog from narfforc.................(there is a play on words for those in the know)
