If you thought that you couldn’t be surprised by a new perfume, you certainly did not anticipate the new fragrance by the London-based artist and self-proclaimed perfumer Jammie Nicholas smelling of feces and dirt! The fragrance is named Surplus, perfectly suited to this controversial concept.

"I didn’t want to be like all the other schmucks and translate something from English into French just to sound glamourous", says Jammie for viceland, "Surplus carries the same meaning in both languages, which negates the romantic connotations of the French language."

Perfume of Life: Surplus


In an interview with Viceland.com, Nicholas says he got the idea of producing his special perfume after reading “The History of S@#t”, by Dominique Laporte, which “which analyses the theoretical and social implications of faeces, and its role as a building material for cosmetics. It suggested that pleasant smells were used to cover bad smells, so it could be suggested that a bad smell could be used to cover pleasant smells”. After doing some research and talking to a bunch of perfumers and scientists, he learned there are molecules that are common to both good and bad smells, just in different concentrations. For example, both faeces and white flowers like juniper or orange blossoms are made from the molecule Skatol. He also found out that many food companies use stuff like civet, an emulation of the anal secretions of the civet cat, and ambergis, which mimics a sperm whale’s gallstone.

Oddity Central

Well what can you say to this?
I understand the intent of the artist, being an artist myself, but this is almost as bad as another thread I did a while back.

I read that somewhere the other day. Disgusting beyond words. But I suppose if some guy wanted to be a real arse, there would be no better gift that says "I'm dumping you."

your "beer" thread even got closed

Le Peu by Pepe
or

Coprophilia by Calvin Klein

the irony is that the Egyptians [allegedly] invented perfume to cover up the stink of rancid animal fat,
the basis of another of their inventions: makeup.


somebody once told me that all perfumes have very small amounts of excrement in them, probably misread a similar article.
