New ‘Eau De Plumber’ fragrance lets you know what Mario smells like
Looking for that perfect Christmas gift for the Nintendo fan in your life? Stumped for ideas? How about a bottle of the new signature fragrance inspired by a certain plumber?
That’s right, everyone’s favourite hero of the Mushroom Kingdom is joining the likes of Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Britney Spears in launching a celebrity fragrance. Or rather, UK retailer GAME is, with an unofficial new range of aromas based on video games.
The absolutely-not-endorsed-by-Nintendo fragrance ‘Eau De Plumber‘, which comes in a blue and gold bottle with a familiar red cap and a fetching mustache at the neck, is said to feature “deep earthy notes of toadstool, balanced with high notes of peach and daisy, and mid-tones of grass lands”. It’s also a unisex fragrance, because platforming heroism has no gender.
If smelling like an Italian plumber isn’t quite the fragrance profile you’re looking for, then perhaps you’ll prefer an aroma that combines “the under-tones of napalm, with bouncy high-tones of watermelon and cigars”. If so, you’ll want ‘Call of Beauty‘ – also referred to a ‘F.P.S.’ in the press release Gayming Mag received; possibly “Fragrance Per Spray”? – which between the name and the fact that it comes in a pink crystal grenade, seems designed to explode toxic masculinity.
Somewhat suspiciously, both of these fragrances are immediately listed as “out of stock” on GAME’s website though, so this could be little more than a clever marketing scheme. Either that, or gamers be wild and there was an unexpectedly large market excited to smell like cartoon plumbers or shooty gun-men. Either way, this makes for one of the strangest gaming news stories of 2020.
Gayming Mag has requested testers and will update this story with our thoughts on what gaming icons smell like if available.
