Scent of a Yeoman

Scent of a TrekkieBe a Trekkie or just smell like one with this new cologne from Genki Wear. (Arguing that the correct term is Trekker does not make you cool.)

Other scents in the series include Tiberius to help one emulate the je ne sais quois of a certain starship captain who’s popular with all manner of space booty.

For the ladies, there is Pon Farr, named for the famed estrus cycle in which Vulcans must mate or die. So apply with caution before a night on the town. But remember, Pon Farr only happens every seven years. Be careful what you wish for. And be patient.

If your girlfriend gives you Red Shirt, she may be getting ready to push you out the airlock. Its tagline reads: Because tomorrow may never come. You may be an extra in your own life. Know this, you will not become a series regular.

Whichever scent you choose, snap it up in a hurry. You haven’t much time to douse yourself, covering the musty scent of your parents’ basement, and get to the nearest theater.

    @brookeamanda: Mais oui, Madame! These are very real. Get it for that guy who smells like a Tribble or a Gorn or a…I could go on all day! (Yes, I’ve been to a few conventions, maybe even worn a Spock ear or two. Please don’t judge me too harshly.)

    I like RedShirt, and I wonder if the next scent by these makers will be Klingon Noir… The scent of war and sweaty men with rippled foreheads and bad ponytails …

    @DouglasDyer: You mean, I can stop spraying myself flesh-colored to fit in?

    @Jenn: I always questioned the evolutionary usefulness of the weird foreheads. There must be a lot of headbutting on Klingon.

    Happy anniversary. Looks like this blog doesn’t have to worry that it’s been wearing a red shirt.

    @Nanny Goats: Tell your, ahem, friend that I hear there’s a scent in the works for the fetching Orion slave girl in us all.

    @Frank Lee: If I’m wearing a red shirt, it’s only a matter of time before I get hit with a styrofoam boulder and lights out!(It’s a slow Saturday which I will use as my excuse for how long it took me to figure out your name. D’oh!)

    Well I have to first off, I am glad you came back around. It has been a while. I work around perfumes and colognes so I am afraid I will have to pass. I cannot even stand to smell them on others. Au naturale for me.

    @ettarose: Thanks! I feel your pain. There are certain fragrances that give me an instant migraine. As you can imagine, I really suffered during the ’80s.
