You Can't Make This Stuff Up...ND Edition

[ChicagoGG]

From yesterday's NY Post:
"Coming soon to a boutique near you - The Fightin' Irish fragrances.

The Cloudbreaker Group is developing a line of University of Notre dame toiletries, including a $62-a-bottle Lady Irish Eau De Parfum, men's after-shave balm and women's shower gel."

Really????Why???

Ah, they can't exit our league fast enough. P U

 

[ed4ourgirls]

Ahh - the irresistible aroma of stale urine and sweat. Eau de Locker Room.

Assure me you are joking. I think it is absurd (I don't want eau de Rutgers, either), but Notre Dame has a huge national following based on their football history and attraction as the prime Catholic University, and when the group is big enough, there are certainly folks who will buy it. The school gets the fee for selling their name and the manufacturer gets an "in" with a selection of potential purchasers.

In the main U of A bookstore, there is an absurd selection of merchandise. I bet UConn's bookstore carries likewise.

So, now, when you look at the mural of Jesus on the side of the Hesburg Library, instead of thinking "touchdown!", you can think "under-arm protection!".

ND not the only school.

Who would want to smell like a leprechaun?

So the after-fight balm for the guy's lotion is composed of 1 part each of blood, puke, spit, and whiskey? Probably a great joke item for the Fighting Irish disciples, but I'll still go with the UConn Blue Spirit hair gel, which probably can give me a coif something like Geno's. As for the women's perfumy water recipe, the ingredients appear to be champagne, orange juice, and Midori melon liqueur, and under certain states of inebria I can definitely see myself wanting to be doused in that.

I understand the "ND Gold Eau De Toilette" is made from pure holy water. If the University of Arizona wishes to open a perfume shop, I have a good name for them: "Scents of Yuma".

There are over 25 other schools who have done this to date..........Marketing and $$$$$

UCONN will be next........

I don't want to smell one so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to smell like one.

Don't know about that. Of the 12 schools that Masik (or, I Mask) distributes fragrances for, they are all football powers like Auburn, LSU, Georgia (smell like a bulldog), Florida (smell like a gator), and Oklahoma, plus somewhat lesser pigskin players such as UTenn and UNC. These are all schools that need some fragrant cover-ups for the athletic\academic eau de stench wafting through the stadiums. Also included among the 12 of course is PSU, which has a pumicey scrubber called the Dusky Sand shower soap for the Lion faithful.

ND's scent opens with a bright tone of hype, but slowly fades to a sour note of failed expectations.

 

[Vowelguy]

Everyone has a perfume these days; not a surprise at all to me.
