Scent to attract

You've heard the rumours, now gaze upon the newest scent in town. Yes, Burger King really has created a men's body spray that smells like "the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat," available to purchase online. The real question inspired by this fragrance isn't why does this exist, but why is it for men? Every woman knows the way to a man's heart is through his love of meat. (Courtesy of Burger King)

Running with the crowd has never been a strong suit for Rei Kawakubo, the designer behind Comme des Garçons. The label's clothes are known for their surprising cuts and textures that may include ripped fabrics or distorted shapes. Odeur 53, released in 1998, includes notes of "flash of metal, burnt rubber and flaming rock," but true to the label's MO, comes together beautifully. (Courtesy of Comme des Garçons)

Admit it - you know you ate the Play-Doh at least once when you were a kid. In honour of Play-Doh's 50th anniversary in 2006, Demeter created this unique scent for "highly-creative people, who seek a whimsical scent reminiscent of their childhood." Since smell is a major component of memory, it's no surprise that a spritz from this bottle might make you long to sculpt - and maybe taste - the Play-Doh once again.

Though never produced commercially, Eau de Stilton was almost a reality a couple of years ago when the Stilton Cheese Maker's Association decided to create itself a fragrance as it launched a "Stick on the Stilton" campaign. Apparently, the scent held the "earthy and fruity aroma of Blue Stilton cheese," and for reasons unexplained, Cat Deeley, host of "So You Think You Can Dance" was asked to be the cheese - sorry, fragrance - spokesperson.

The first smell you associate with a funeral home? Bingo - lots and lots of flowers. For Demeter's Funeral Home fragrance, it's lilies, carnations, gladiolus and chrysanthemums to be exact. The scent was intended to be "Flower Show," but after one of the developers said it smelled like his grandfather's funeral, there was no going back. And fresh drying paint as an enticing fragrance? Demeter has no qualms about loving the smell, and thanks to its natural ingredients, there's no associated lightheadedness from toxins. (Courtesy of Demeter Fragrance Library)

Stop thinking about manure and shift your mind more toward whips and leather - Riding Crop from Demeter evokes a similar scent to leather goods stores and new cars. And while "you smell like dirt," might not be the highest compliment on the list, Demeter's Dirt fragrance is the company's "most emblematic," inspired by "turned earth with a touch of last season's corn stalks." It also specifically smells like the dirt from the fields of the found perfumer's family farm in Pennsylvania. (Courtesy of Demeter Fragrance Library)
