Your personal dead celebrity DNA fragrance

Sounds kinda creepy to me but if you’re a huge fan of Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Albert Einstein, Joan Crawford or Katherine Hepburn you’ll probably love the idea of having a very customized fragrance containing your fave celebrity’s DNA.

My DNA Fragrance, a Beverly Hills company is formulating a line of “Antiquity” fragrances based on the DNA of dead celebrities. DNA doesn’t have any smell of its own but it brings the individual genetic code into the perfume.

I can’t go into our secret process, but we base the fragrance on the genetic code,” Dr. Diva Verdun, chief development officer at MyDNAFragrance.com said, according to NY Daily News. “I did a little research on Elvis, and he actually had really bad body odor. So we don’t want to clone him in any way or create a fragrance that actually smelled like him. DNA has nothing to do with bodily functions. There’s no way it can stink.”

According to the company, Mitochondrial DNA is extracted from celebrity hair shafts provided by John Reznikoff, the world’s pre-eminent historical hair collector with the largest authenticated hair collection of famous people in the world.

It’s very scientific. They are working toward evoking the individual represented in the DNA,” Reznikoff told the source. “It’s far from an astrology reading.”

The Antiquity line is available online for $59.99 per sculpted aluminum bottle.

Marilyn Monroe’s Marilyn fragrance, for instance, is a “romantic fragrance that consist of a complex bouquet of seductive liquid treasures that will caress the secret desires of the mind. The secret formation will have every man happy to see you. As you walk by, the breeze that trails you will make shivery alive again.”

Meanwhile, Michael Jackson’s M perfume is “an exclusive one-of-a-kind fragrance composed of the lightest, but most volatile essences.”

According to My DNA Fragrance, a portion of the gross profits to the estates of these celebrities and the charities that they support.

And though the question sounds as ridiculously crazy as it is I’ll ask it anyway. Do you want to smell like a dead celebrity?
