And finally… scent of the skunk

One of the UK’s biggest perfume retailers has unveiled a new fragrance – that smells of marijuana.

The Perfume Shop is the first to sell 212 VIP Men Party Fever, from Carolina Herrera.

The scent is described as “an energising potion of vibrant ginger and burning cannabis”.

A Perfume Shop spokesman said: “In recent months, cannabis has managed to successfully shrug off its negative reputation to become one of the biggest buzzwords in the beauty world, with brands and retailers launching ranges infused with the plant extract.

“While many may begin to imagine a skunk-infused scent, Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men Party Fever is an elegant, refined summer scent that opens with a spicy energy then mellows with a herbaceous cannabis accord in the heart, giving the fragrance, and the man wearing it, an edge of risk.”

The outlet’s marketing director, Cathy Newman, said the fragrance was “the scent of the season, designed to lift your spirit and exude the feeling of summer”.
