A New Perfume Will Smell Like . . . the Yellow Pages?
Back in the day, did you ever grab a new phone book . . . open the Yellow Pages . . . and then rub it across your body to “freshen up?” No?
There’s a British company called Yell, that’s an online directory similar to the phone book . . . and they’re in the process of developing a PERFUME that smells like the Yellow Pages. (???)
They say that it’s a “timeless and familiar scent,” and it’s been created to “transport the mind and the senses back to the past” . . . when we used to experience the JOY of carrying around five-pound phone books.
More specifically, they say the fragrance has notes of bergamot and lemon . . . followed by the rich, woody scents of cedar and musk, with sweet vanilla.
This seems like a joke, but they actually ARE making this available. The perfume will be called “Eau de Yellow Pages,” and they’re planning on doing a “limited run” later this year. For now, it’s unclear when and where you’d be able to get it.
