Smells like Marilyn Manson

Schiaparelli_main2I am absolutely thrilled to hear that Marilyn Manson is launching his own fragrance and cosmetics line.  Rumor has it (thanks PSFK) that the fragrance is inspired by the collaboration of Salvador Dali and Elsa Schiaparelli.  If you look at Elsa's profile, you can see that she actually bears a striking resemblance to Marilyn, particularly their soft jawline and open-lipped pout. 

In general, I think the idea of celebrity fragrance isMmanson philosophically unsound.  Liz Taylor pulled it off, but I can't think of anyone since who has produced anything other than olfactory Kool Aid. Celebrities, I firmly believe, are to be seen and not smelled.

But I'm holding out hope that Manson's fragrance will smell of rats and snails and puppy dog tails.  If it is wimpy and sucky, then, well, let's just give up.
