Sécrétions Magnifiques perfume - blood, sweat, saliva and a dollop of sperm


Want a scent with a distinct fragrance that no one else has?

Well, blood, sweat, saliva and a dollop of sperm is just the thing for the stinking rich, if a perfume on sale at Harvey Nichols is anything to go by.

The perfume, Sécrétions Magnifiques, contains the smell of all those things and still sells for £76 a pop.

Maker Etat Libre d'Orange markets it as a raunchy alternative to the likes of Poison and Chanel No.5, calling it 'subversive' and 'disturbing'.

The company said: 'It's love or hate at first sight. Like blood, sweat, sperm, saliva, Sécrétions Magnifiques is as real as an olfactory coitus that sends one into raptures, to the pinnacle of sensual pleasure.

'Tongues and sexes find one another, pleasure explodes and all goes wild.'

The perfume mixes accords – a blending of scents – to recreate the smell of blood, sweat, saliva and semen with the more pleasant odours of coconut and sandalwood. Perfume expert Roja Dove said the aroma was a refreshing alternative to bland fragrances.

'The kind of people who will like this range are people who think they are being really, really alternative and going against the establishment and being really rather racy,' he said.

'But it is a bit of a mystery why anyone would want to smell of sweat, blood, saliva and sperm.'

Another perfume in the range is Jasmin et Cigarette, which does exactly what it says on the tin, stinking of jasmine and uh, cigarettes.

A spokesman for Harvey Nichols, the only shop in the country to stock the range, insisted it was popular. 'Niche fragrances tend to do very well in our fragrance offering,' he said.
