You Can Now Make Perfume That Smells Like Your Dead Loved Ones
Latest
Because it’s no longer acceptable to lovingly embalm your dead and keep them secretly entombed in your home, a new company has created something that’s almost as good: a perfume that smells like the living body of your dearly departed. It’s called Olfactory Links and isn’t half as creepy as you’d think.
As The Guardian points out, humans have a history of attempting to preserve the dead to honor their memory and provide comfort. And while making jewelry from the hair of those passed or pressing their ashes into a diamond may no longer be in fashion, many are still looking for a way to remember a loved one in a more active fashion than occasionally visiting their cemetery plot, or looking at their urn of ashes.
