If you want to smell like Marilyn Monroe, it's well-known that she was a Chanel No. 5 devotee. But what if you just want to smell like her genetic code? Well, now there's a fragrance out there to help you do it. A company in LA has come out with a line of perfumes called Antiquity that it says are supposed to smell like various deceased stars' DNA.
I, personally, was unaware that my DNA smelled any way. But the company says that it's got a "secret process" using hair strands collected from people like Marilyn, Einstein, Elvis, and a ton of others that it uses to make these scents. Which still doesn't at all explain how you could make a fragrance based on genes. What do you think about this? Does the vagueness, secrecy, and appeal to "science" make it sound like a crock, or do you think there's something to this idea?

Sounds like bs and creepy. That's pretty much disgusting to me.
1I think those things make it sound like Bologna... I'd just need further info... You know... my husband always says he loves the way I smell... even when I don't have any lotions or sprays on... You know, how people just have their particular "smell"?? Maybe that's what they're talking about??? Maybe not... I dunno...
2i don't really think that DNA has a smell, but some people's hormones give off certain distinguishable scents. it would seem difficult to take that form a dead person though...
3It sounds like a very creepy gimmick. I bet somewhere out there, someone's selling this to those who just lost a loved one.
4That's gross and a little creepy. I'll just enjoy my own pheromones, thank you very much!
5there's no way to know if they actually did all the lab work they say they did! it could just be any old scent. plus, who would want to smell like 'human' no matter how famous they were? sounds like something they should put in a museum, if its not bs.
6That's super creepy and weird. No thanks.
7Sounds creepy and gross and a scam.
8I agree with everyone else -- even if it wasn't a scam, which it probably is, it creeps me out to no end. I'll just wear my personal perfume and enjoy my own smell, thanks!
9Sounds like a load of hooey to me.
10Oh, that reminds me of Süskind's Perfume, only with DNA instead of, er, dead people wrapped in fat. Sounds like a scam.
11Anyway, 51st century pheromones are the best, apparently.
