Sex Panther Cologne ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 18 November 2008 42 Comments

Sex Panther Cologne for menYep, it's here. Sex Panther. The press release, in its entirety:

60% of the time, it works every time. Omni Consumer Products, a product development company who released the market-crushing energy drink Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator, has announced an addition to its line of movie-licensed products in Sex Panther Cologne. In development with manufacturing partner Romane Fragrances, and Paramount Pictures, Sex Panther Cologne is now a reality; available for sale now at http://www.sex-panther.com/.

Officially licensed from the Will Ferrell movie Anchorman, Sex Panther Cologne is a uniquely-formulated men's fragrance, designed to be as instantly recognizable and upscale as the infamous name would suggest. The bottle is a refined silica glass, with triple black velvet-matte ceramique spray, and the cologne itself is a formidable scent, with crisp overtones of sandalwood, pine, vetiver, and a clean base of dry, rich mahogany.

"Sex Panther Cologne is the exact embodiment of what a real cologne should be," said Omni Consumer Products founder, Pete Hottelet. "The fragrance is clean, fresh, and extremely manly. Manly like eating a bowl of cereal doused in motor oil, consisting mainly of shavings from the Apollo moon lander and Richard Petty's championship 1970 Plymouth Superbird. Manly like walking into a bar and ordering a screwdriver -- made out of actual screwdrivers. It's designed from the ground up to make you popular with the ladies; human ladies, to be exact. So I hope that's what you're into."

Sex Panther Cologne joins Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator, the first-ever movie-licensed energy drink, which launched in November 2007. Sex Panther extends the concept of reverse-product-placement even further, and raises the bar for licensed products by providing a high-quality, great smelling cologne at a reasonable price ($29.99).

    Honestly, I would much prefer to read copy from the fine folks at Omni than from most perfume houses these day. Must be all those screwdrivers I've been drinking.

    They're a bit late with this, though, aren't they? How long ago did Anchorman come out?

    I love that they're so tongue-in-cheek with the whole release, but…. isn't Anchorman a pretty old movie by now? Is there still enough of a cult following that people would buy this for the novelty factor or are they expecting people to buy this “for real”? $30 is still a lot to drop for a “gag”.

    I don't care if I'm a woman, I'm buying two. Anchorman is one of my guilty pleasure favorite movies and I've got a guy friend who would get a kick out of both the idea of owning Sex Panther and the juice. I won't use mine ever ever because if it's like Sex Panther in the movie, it smells like a used diaper filled with Indian food.

    And that copy sounds like punchlines from the deleted scenes of the film. Funny!

    Oh, thank goodness, it's finally here! We human ladies have been panting for Sex Panther! ;-}

    The copy and the website are a riot. Funny thing is, if those are the real notes it might actually smell good.

    I am a huge Anchorman fan and have been laughing hysterically at the site – the wording used is identical to the way the characters in the movie speak! I can't wait for the sequel- anybody have an idea when it's coming out?

    When Mel Brooks puts out a celebrity scent, I'll order blindly (okay, maybe a little iffy about “Blazing Saddles, The Cologne”). His spoofs are better than the originals.

    …which really kind of spoils the fun. It ought to smell terrible!

    Also disappointed that the bottle isn't the one that appeared in the movie.

    Well I suppose one can't have everything!

    QuarryJoy, I have a feeling that market has aged to the point where they wouldn't buy a reverse market placement scent like this, you know?

    OMG, I have to have this. I've been dying to tell people I'm wearing “Sex Panther”. Although being a human woman, perhaps I'll end up spending long evenings home alone?

    But is it made with bits of real panther, so we know it's good?

    You could extend the irony by saying you're wearing it without actually buying it, right?

    …reminded me of one of my first colognes……007James Bond. Definitely not chi-chi, but, boy, does it bring me back to the 7th grade and 1965! Actually smells quite nice and I always get compliments on it….can sometimes get it on EBay, which BTW, I found another from that time…Fabrege Aphrodesia………smells an awful lot like Guerlain's Derby, to my nose at least!

    Ha! I love this–hilarious. They know their audience and there's nothing safer than self-deprecation. Low expectations leads to impressed consumers!
