Let's Play Smell the Gangsta!
Written by: Laurel May
Yesterday I received an invitation to celebrate the release of Fiddy's new man perfume, POWER. It made me really wish I were in Miami, which is weird, because I hate it there. If I could, I would just go there on Friday, for the sole purpose of attending this party.
I love 50. Now don't get me wrong, when he performed at 944's Super Bowl Village in Phoenix a few years back I didn't ever get close enough to smell him, but he didn't strike me as the sort of guy who was super conscientious about his olfactory signature. Now Jay Z, that is another story. I haven't smelled him either, but I HAVE spent many hours of my life speculating on how good he probably smells. Snoop? Haven't smelled him, but I guarantee he smells like skunk bud and Burger King. Xibit? He wears Axe body spray. Chris Brown hits girls, so I'm betting he wears way too much Drakkar Noir.
Yesterday, I put this question to people on Twitter: “What do you think 50 Cent's new cologne smells like?”
These are some of the answers I got. Many of them were sent privately (in fear of retribution?)
Failure
Sweat
Gun powder
Deez nuts, a candy shop, and hints of black pepper
The emperor's new clothes
Hot breath
Ass
Asti spumanti
Santorum
Bacon
I'm guessing it's a mixture of all of the above, but I'm not content to speculate. Today at lunch, I'm going to Macy's and I'm getting a sample. I'll report my findings here later. Stay tuned.
***UPDATE: No samples available until tomorrow's release date. Wah.

I would go to Macy's to try it out but I blew off the girl that worked the counter and feeling really bad about it ... it was one of those crushed puppy loves. :(
