In the months after the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it seems like every product imaginable had the Star Wars name slapped on it: Clocks, waffle irons, toothpaste, toys, food — you name it, there was a Star Wars: The Force Awakens version of it.
It only seemed a matter of time, then, for Star Wars-themed perfume to arrive, and arrive it has. LifeStyle Perfumes (via Comicbook.com) is bringing three distinct fragrances inspired by the Star Wars universe, and each is as completely pointless as it sounds.
First up is "Empire," a scent described as covering the wearer with an "aura of masculinity and power." Presumably, it also smells like tyranny, but that's not quite as marketable. Here's the full description:
"It starts with a sparkle of fruity notes from lime and apple. Powerful chords of amber, patchouli and tonka-bean characterize the powerful heart and base [sic] note that refine the composition. The result is a distinctive, [O]riental, seductive fragrance — perfect for the night, made for men which one better does [sic] not get in the way."
Next comes the "Jedi" scent, which is described as "swaggering and fearless."
"Star Wars JEDI underlines the masculinity of the wearer; subtle but unmistakable. The seductive blend of pink pepper in its bouquet, water lily in the heart and sensual notes of musk and sandalwood in the base chord creates a strong aura of positive energy — which makes this fragrance the perfect companion for guys."
It's worth noting this is a fragrance specifically for men, though there are plenty of female Jedi. Alas, women are, bizarrely, only given one fragrance option in the form of "Amidala."
"AMIDALA inspired this fragrance through her royal elegance as well as by her strong, indomitable will. The elegant and sensual notes of vanilla, musk and patchouli are complemented by a fruity top note of apple and tangerine and merges into a sovereign seductive aura for any situation by day and by night; a floral perfume with [O]riental and powdery notes, which makes its wearer irresistible."
Given the option, it seems like men (and women) would probably put some cash down for a Han Solo fragrance. Yet Empire? Not so much. It's all very silly, but fans will have to get used to it in the years to come. No doubt, there are plenty more pointless Star Wars tie-in products where this came from in the works.
