So, What Other Famous Body Aromas Would Go On The Market?

Personally, the only cologne or perfume that I use is Eau de ValuRite, so I am not the expert on such niceties. But even I have to admit that a cologne or perfume based on the DNA of dead celebrities is creepily awesome in a morbid way.

A Beverly Hills company is formulating a line of “Antiquity” fragrances based on the DNA of dead celebrities including Elvis Presley, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson – even Richard Nixon.

The firm, which also makes individualized scents based on a customer’s cheek swab, says it’s conjuring the star potions from DNA tests performed on hair clippings provided by renowned celebrity hair collector John Reznikoff.

“I can’t go into our secret process, but we base the fragrance on the genetic code,” said Dr. Diva Verdun, chief development officer at MyDNAFragrance.com.

Verdun conceded buyers aren’t getting a tangible piece of their deceased idol’s biology in the bottle, admitting that “you couldn’t do a reverse DNA analysis off of the perfume.” But she vowed the process is scientific.

“I did a little research on Elvis, and he actually had really bad body odor. So we don’t want to clone him in any way or create a fragrance that actually smelled like him,” she said. “DNA has nothing to do with bodily functions. There’s no way it can stink.”

In that vein, which other person-based fragrance would you like to see enter the market?
