Thread: New fragrance inspired by Putin goes on sale in Russia

Moscow shoppers wrinkled their noses and laughed at the first whiff of “Leaders Number One,” a new perfume inspired by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The fragrance, encased in a sleek black bottle with an image of Putin’s profile on the front, is the brainchild of perfumer Vladislav Rekunov. It’s for sale in a luxury store in Moscow for the equivalent of $95 for 3.3 ounces — a steep price when you consider the $72 and $67 that Dior and Dolce and Gabbana charge for their newest men’s fragrances.

And what does Putin fragrance smell like?

Like cheap perfume, two Moscow shoppers said, according to Reuters.

Rekunov disagrees, describing the scent as “attractive, matter-of-fact and natural.” It also contains hints of lemon, black currant and fir cones, Reuters reported.

“Leaders Number One” joins a growing list of Russian products that promote a cult of personality around Putin. T-shirts, mugs, calendars, iPhone covers and more advertise his image throughout Moscow.

But all of the promotion also has inspired some satire.

You weren't gifted by Santa Eau de Colonic then?

But lets be honest it can only be a putin perfume if its laced with polonium, anything else would be a cheap imitation.
