Vulva?

[bobquasit]

I thought I'd run out of things to say. Nothing left but angst. I figured everyone on my flist had read enough angst, so that left me no other option but silence.

And then this morning I read (in Salon) that a German company is marketing a new fragrance that is called - and supposedly smells like a - "Vulva".

Thank you, Germans. You've amused me once again.

You may be forced to watch an ad first if you don't have a Salon membership. And fair warning: the site for the perfume itself - which I have NOT linked to here, but is linked to from the Salon story - is apparently quite NSFW.

I'm trying to imagine who would buy this, apart from exceptionally eccentric Germans - women, probably, although who knows?

The comments in the Salon piece are pretty funny, too. They cover all of the humorous possibilities that I've thought of so far (such as a male version of the scent, for example).

It would take the Germans to make me smile on a morning like this.

Now I'm wondering how they GET that scent. I can't believe that they'd use human donors. I mean...they couldn't. Could they?

I don't even want to GUESS what that factory would look like! :D
