Notre Dame Debuts Fragrance. But What Does Your School Smell Like?

June 26, 2013— -- intro: Exciting news! The University of Notre Dame is getting its own line of signature scents! There's the ND Gold Eau de Toilette for Biff and Chadwick, and the Lady Irish Eau de Parfum for Betty and Khaleesi, as well as scented shower gel, body lotion, body wash, and aftershave gel. No word on what "scent notes" will be included, but our secret source says it'll smell like green apple, freesia, laundry, a single grain of sand, and the marshmallow dust at the bottom of a box of Lucky Charms.

But why should Norte Dame have all the fun, amiright? I asked my Fusion co-workers to send me the names of their schools and some suggestions about what they might smell like. Then, I worked closely with a company that excels at marketing unnecessary scents to moneyed alumni to come up with some pretty quality fragrances for each one. Check it out:

This vitamin-enriched gelatinous body substance smells like Pitt's mascot, the panther, and it's number one extracurricular activity, sex with panthers. Perhaps you've heard of it? #Grrrrowl

Or, if you have, we definitely heard about it before you did.
