17 Unusual Perfume Smells & Packagings

From BK Cologne to Crude Oil, Sweat & Sushi Fragrances

The Internet is buzzing about the Burger King cologne like mad. But here at TrendHunter.com, we have been onto the food-smelling perfume trend for quite some time. Before the Burger King cologne, we have featured perfumes that smell like sushi, chocolate and even stinky cheese!

Food is not the only strange inspiration for new perfumes, however. We have seen fragrances that smell like male sweat, crude oil, and even sperm & blood.

In addition to the unusual smells, designers are getting creative with the packaging and alternative ways to incorporate their smells into your lifestyle. From Tom Ford’s new Cleansing Bar which has Tom Ford For Men integrated into a soap on a rope to perfumed Montblanc ink, and miniature perfume bottle necklaces for spraying on the run.

Even automobile makers are getting in on the business with Porsche and Mustang fragrances, vroom vroom!
