People do just about everything with bacon. Cook with it, use it as air freshener, and flavor everything from coffee to ice cream and chocolate. You don't see people using lamb chop or chicken as a scent, so what's so special about bacon!?
And, now to add to this bacon frenzy ... a Chicago cologne company is releasing a unisex scent entitled Bacōn (pronounced bay-cone ... Super fancyyy, right?) infused with various scents but apparently has an undertone of bacon hidden in it. There are two scents - Bacōn Gold and Bacōn Classic, both unisex.
Are you kidding me!?!?
Just what I want! ... To walk around smelling like a breakfast meat! I seriously do not understand this bacon trend! A spritz of this cologne "Scent by the God's" (OH YEAH, that's their slogan!) and everything is good in the world ... at least according to their advertisements.
I can just imagine walking down the street and having dogs chase me ... as the scent of bay-cone trails behind me ...
It's a scent that apparently was discovered accidentally in 1920 by a Parisian butcher named John Fargginay who found a formula of 11 essential oils (and bacon) that elevated his customers moods! Then in 1924, his shop burned down and the formula was lost ... UNTIL NOW!!! (Yeah, read the story here).
Whatever ... It's weird but if you want to spend $36 to smell like a roasted pig, click here and enjoy.
