It begs the question

...why would someone pay $45 for a bottle of perfume that smells like skunk? Or a doll's head? I can't decide if I love or hate this guy.

He clearly likes to shock. One scent, Doll Head, is a dead-on olfactory copy of the vinyl used to make dolls. Roast Beef smells like beef. He unscrewed the top of a bottle called You Know This and held it under my nose. I closed my eyes. I was in kindergarten. The plastic scissors on the table were so blunt I couldn't cut the construction paper. That cute David Carmody was sitting next to me. We were fighting over - Play-Doh!
