It really drives me nuts that every celebrity seems to be pitching a perfume. Do they actually come up with this scent on their own, or do they even have a clue what it actually smells like?
According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_celebrity-endorsed_perfumes there are even endorsements by fictional characters. Most humorously "Dora the Explorer"! Who the hell is this being marketed to, 5 year old girls?
Ok, I can understand an endorsement by a musician, an actor, or athlete, but a cartoon character?
According to the list we've got fragrances by Strawberry Shortcake, Miss Piggy, Superman, Batman, and the Hulk. The list goes on and on. I'm trying to imagine what Hulk colonge would smell like, but all that comes to mind is leather, sweat, and green slimy jello.
Everyone is out to make a buck, but do we really want to smell like Spiderman?
