Want To Smell Like A Computer?
from the oh,-please,-no... dept
It seems that a perfume company has tried to capture the smell of a freshly opened computer box and put that into a perfume. No, I don't think it's a joke. I also don't know what they're thinking at all. At least they're only making 5,000 bottles of the stuff. I'm also not sure if it's for geeks or people who want to attract geeks, but somehow I don't think either group would be very interested in the stuff. As some of the people in the article say, this is pretty obviously a marketing gimmick. Too bad DigiScents went out of business a while back, or they could have teamed up and always made sure your computer had that fresh "new computer" smell.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
