US Army Unveils Its Official Cologne

Posted by samzenpus on from the smells-like-victory dept.

No bastard ever won a war by smelling bad for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard smell worse than him. With this in mind, the U.S. Army has let loose its official scent on the world. "Patton" is advertised as a woodsy blend of lavender, citrus, coconut, cedar, sage, tonka bean, bergamot, and lime. Top brass haven't explained why they have decided to enter into the celebrity perfume wars, but they do plan to donate a percentage of sales to the VA. Remember, compared to war and perfumery, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance.
