Humans are easily the most olfactorily perverted animal species on the planet - jealousy, one would imagine, stemming from having inferior scent-marking abilities compared to other species.

There's scented hair-products, body wash, deodorant/anti-perspirants, perfumes, colognes, toilet waters, breath mints and rinses, etc., all formulated and applied to mask an existing scent or create a new one... and mostly all used in conjunction with each other haphazardly.

So there's room for one more.

Propogation of a chemical in air, while almost uniform in an elevator, still has a directional component, better realized in a more open area.

Butt perfume is what it says it is: it's meant to be applied to the back side, so when you talk to people, or even just pass by, they get a different olfactory picture depending on whether you're coming or going.

What about dervishes?

Nobody's going to want to apply a dervish to their arse - that was just silly.
-- MaxwellBuchanan, May 03 2014


_was_ silly, [MB]? Personal experience or merely anecdote?

So it smells like butt? No thank you, FlyingToaster, you kidder, you.

<arrgh>

perfume _for_ the butt, not _of_ the butt.

No attempt is made, at least not in the post, to cover up any butt-based odours: the purpose is to give the wearer a multi-faceted scent-personality.

As you stand there in the club, talking with a bunch of people, they all smell lavender; when you turn to go, they smell summer oranges, or something like that.

Smells fishy to me. Butt I could be wrong.
-- blissmiss, May 03 2014


Perhaps you should give it a crack though?

...only if it's fart-activated.

A Whirling Dervish is an ideal lavatory paper replacement actually, in the same way that a power tool is often an improvement on the original.

The idea is fundamentally flawed.
-- normzone, May 05 2014


Is that better or worse than being superficially flawed?
-- MaxwellBuchanan, May 05 2014


I think this should be, ...but perfume!
-- JesusHChrist, May 05 2014


Isn't perfume always intended to cloak other smells?
-- pocmloc, May 06 2014


That's the booty of the idea - now I'll bun this one.
-- normzone, May 06 2014


Why would anybody want to smell like a butt?
-- doctorremulac3, May 06 2014


Perhaps they want to attract dogs?
