Marmite, Beer And Pickle Scented Perfume Inspired By Burton-On-Trent

Would You Try A Marmite, Beer And Pickle Scented Perfume?
|

Residents from Burton-on-Trent look away now because a perfume has made in honour of the Staffordshire town - and it stinks.

Perfumer and businesswoman Victoria Brookes has created a perfume inspired by the smells in the town using an interesting mix of Marmite, beer hops, leather and Branston Pickle scents.

Despite the seemingly unflattering perfume tribute, the fragrance actually represents the history and the roots of Burton-on-Trent.

"It is made up of Gourmand, representing Marmite and Branston Pickle, which were invented in Burton," Victoria told the Daily Mail.

"It also has leather, representing the boots and footballs used at Burton Albion, and Ambra, inspired by amber nectar, the beer which made Burton famous worldwide."

The perfume is set to be a big seller for Christmas and costs £35.60. "It's more of a novelty item for die hard Burtonians who might want to give their loved ones something a bit different in the run up to Christmas."

Yesterday we asked if you would try the oral perfume pill and today we are wondering if you'd be brave enough to try these unsavoury perfumes?
