This is scamdalous for half the price
I actually wouldn’t buy this but the concept is funny actually… Some overpriced fragrances are a SCAM darling

This isn’t art. This is just dumb. I know there will be one idiot that will think this is a great idea, but it’s not. It’s dumb. Real dumb.

(The real kicker is that it costs, no lie, $500 on the site!)
THE FIRST UNSCENTED PERFUME
“It’s the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ of fragrance,” says Xyrena founder and head perfumer Killian Wells. “I originally envisioned SCAM as a piece for an art gallery, but it evolved into a way to dispel decades’ worth of myths perpetuated by the mainstream fragrance industry.”
The commercial spot for SCAM, written and directed by Wells, parodies a well-known 90’s underwear campaign and highlights how sex appeal is used to distract consumers from what’s actually being sold.
The SCAM campaign also includes a web video (hosted by actor Dylan Reed) of people on Hollywood Blvd testing out the scent-free perfume to get their critiques about which “notes” they detect. In true Emperor’s New Clothes fashion, the critics are given various backstories such as ‘the fragrance can only be detected by those with a high IQ’.
The simple formulation for SCAM is a combination of perfumer’s alcohol, stabilizer, and “unscented fragrance” oil (i.e., fractionated coconut oil, which is colorless, odorless and doesn’t go rancid). Legally SCAM is indeed a perfume even though there’s no discernable scent.
For art and fragrance collectors, SCAM is available for sale exclusively on Xyrena. Limited to 1000 numbered bottles, each package comes with a hand-signed certificate of authenticity by Xyrena founder Killian Wells

Guessing this is the third. Josie Maran just released an unscented argan oil fragrance last year
valpet – :
$cam is the second unscented perfume, first there was Helvetica the Perfume, with a similar idea.
batvans – :
So is it just water in a spray bottle??? I don’t get these gimmick perfumes.
SanMlat – :
I thought for sure this was put out by Creed. 🙂

Smells a lot like Angel Men mixed with Jules by Dior, if you ask me.
