When you think you've seen everything...the net delivers

for the smelling nerd

Whenever I think I've seen it all and am filled with ennui the net never fails to deliver something newly absurd. Today brought us 001 Coty, a new unisex scent guaranteed to draw geeks like a magnet. I would buy a large pizza instead since the perfume is a dazzling $100 USD for 41ml that the guy won't probably notice or, if he does, will start getting frisky with his laptop instead of you. The pizza is cheaper and has instant appeal....mmm...thick crust...pepperoni...mmmmeat. The ingredients of '001' are:

"The 001Coty fragrance is unique: the top note is almond blossom and marigold; the middle note is Tuscan magnolia with a "fresh electrostatic" accord; finally, 001Coty contains a dry note consisting of tonka, warm woods, licorice and praline."

I mean, if this were a geek fragrance, wouldn't they have made it 000001 instead just for the amusement factor? And what in the heck is 'fresh electrostatic accord'? I could go into the lab and rub up against all of my beautiful, sexy Suns to get a little electrostatic joy if I wanted. I work with these things all day long and figure, who wants to smell like work? I can't wait for 010 which will hopefully be 'zorched monitor with solder zest' or maybe 'essence of RAID 5'...mmm....this is making me hot just thinking about it...or maybe it's the pizza. :)

n.b. - While watching AbFab I noted a commercial for a lightning scented speedstick deodorant to compliment your 'fresh electrostatic accord'. mmm...ozone...
