Smells Like Geek Spirit: Introducing Star Trek Perfume

15.04.2009

The scent, as you might imagine, promises to deliver wild times for women and their Star Trek-lovin' lovers. It's described as a "refreshing fragrance that is both invigorating and dramatic." (The drama, I assume, comes when you give the stuff to your date and she proceeds to trash your house and leave in a huff.)

As for the smell itself, Pon Farr is said to feature "light, clean top notes of citrus, black currant, lotus blossom and water lily." You also get hints of sandalwood, peach, and mulberry. (I know, I know -- they forgot flopsweat.)

"Pon Farr is perfect for those bright sunny days and warm summer nights spent together at the beach, around the fire or simply watching your favorite affaire d'honneur," the perfume's makers say. "Or for guys spending lonely nights at home, trying to imagine that a woman is in the room," they forgot to add.

Ah, but I jest. I'm sure plenty of ladies would delight in a Star Trek-scented gift of Pon Farr. At the very least, if they pretend to, you'll know that they really, really love you.

Pon Farr will become available later this month, but you can preorder it now for about US$30 a bottle. You'll find the stuff at , , and other fine fragrance retailers nationwide.
