The Game of Thrones Fire and Blood Perfume offers the perfect way to commemorate the recent premiere of one of the most highly anticipated HBO shows on television to date. Inspired by the hugely successful book series, 'A Song of Ice and Fire,' this fantastical fragrance is based on the character Daenerys Targaryen, who comes from a line of dragons and is the rightful heir to the Iron throne in King's Landing.
Created by ThinkGeek, the Game of Thrones Fire and Blood Perfume features notes of sweet green grass, smoke, violet, leather and, the key ingredient, dragon's blood (which is made up of amber, vanilla, sandalwood, musk, exotic florals, spices). Housed in a Dragon egg-shaped glass bottle with a golden atomizer, this perfume is only for the biggest 'Game of Thrones' fans.
