What does Justin Bieber smell like?
Justin Bieber is getting into the fragrance business. Some genius at Etoile Nation Beauty convinced the 16-year-old to go into the trade where Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker have thrived, as if it were possible to capture the essence of Bieber in a bottle.
Apparently, it isn't. Instead of releasing a typical fragrance, Bieber will sell "wristbands and dog tags infused with a unisex fragrance called My World," Women's Wear reports.
The pitch is: now, not only can teenage girls smell of Bieber lust, so can your puppy.
The perfumed accessories will go on sale before the holidays, at Wal-Mart. Sellers say the scent has "notes of bergamot, lychee and pomegranate, a heartof cedar glimmers and a drydown of musk."
It's unclear what this will smell like to the regular shopper, which raises the question, what does Bieber actually smell like? Frankincense and candy corn? Lollipops and Canadian conditioner?

dog tags aren't what dogs wear on their collars. dog tags were originally identification tags by military members, but now people wear them for fashion. seriously? you are being disrespectful to our men and women in uniform.

Dude, please... look up terms that don't make sense in context and save yourself some scorn.

WOW - how do you not know what dog tags are? Could this be the rarely seen 'uber-FAIL' ?

i'm sure that erik and every other college graduate knows what dog tags are. maybe that line was just an innocent attempt at humor that just didn't quite make it. #hopefully

The growing pains were inevitable with the switch from Sessa to Maza, but uh... dude? What are you doing?
I dig the new perspective that you bring Maza, fresh eyes on our city's nightlife scene. I like that you're taking some new angles. This one and a few others that I've seen since you took over seem to be just be waaaay out there.
