Think this one has been misnamed a wee bit and I’m definitely going to stop complaining about everyone smelling like mosquito spray here… 😛
~ A new perfume has been created in Germany which smells of rancid beer and cigarette butts. The scent is intended to evoke memories of the famous Oktoberfest, Munich’s annual homage to beer. Inventor and pub landlord Peter Inselkammer presented the scent this week during the 169th festival. He said he has called the new perfume ‘Armbrustschuetzenzelt’ Crossbow Tent – after the various drinking tents. Inselkammer said the scent, which costs around £95 a bottle, comes in the shape of a pen that can be easily carried around the fields of the Oktoberfest. Over a million people stormed the tents of the beer festival in its first week and organisers expect at least 6 million visitors to have come and gone by Sunday 6 October.
