Scent of a man

Something' in the air and it's the new scent of a man as marketers seem to be on a mission to bathe him in scents of his favorite food and beverages. Try not to ingest:

Burger King Corp. has come up with FLAME by BK, a new body spray said to “;feature the scent of seduction with the hint of flame-broiled meat.”; It's available online at http://www.firemeetsdesire.com, for $3.99.

Lush, at Ala Moana and Royal Hawaiian centers, is offering Cynthia Sylvia Stout (beer) shampoo ($17.95), made from a recipe including organic Irish stout and lemons, as well as Gold Frankincense & Beer Shower Jelly ($25 per pound), with the scent of cinnamon, black pepper, clove, mandarin juice and orange oil to stimulate circulation and the senses.

ZIRH has introduced a Cocktail Bar Collection with the scent of Cucumber Martini, Sake Bomb, Hurricane, Screwdriver and Long Island Iced Tea - inspired by popular drinks so men can drink in the scents of citrus, cucumber, lemongrass, passionfruit and lychee while detoxifying and exfoliating. The best thing is the scents may also help rid you of any holiday party hangover. The 5.3-ounce bars are $15 each or $60 for all five bars at http://www.zirh.com.
