Have you ever walked past a bakery and got a whiff of the aroma of freshly baked goods? This instantly tempts you and entices you to indulge in some baked goodies. Passionate foodies are aware that food has a multi-sensory appeal. Right from its smell to its aesthetic appeal, there are multiple facets of the food that we enjoy. For instance, when we are at a fast-food giant, it is hard to resist the smell of freshly cooked French Fries. This very smell of crispy, salty French Fries has now become a limited-edition perfume for Valentine’s Day. Don’t believe us? Take a look and see for yourself:
The perfume was introduced as a limited-edition collectible for Valentine’s Day by the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC). Called as ‘Frites by Idaho’, it is said to be a tantalizing fragrance inspired by the irresistible scent of French Fries. The launch of the unique fragrance is also coinciding with National Potato Lovers’ Month. “Uniquely crafted from a blend of essential oils and distilled Idaho Potatoes, this fragrance will invite memories of fry-tastic days gone by,” read the caption to the post. The 50ml bottle is being sold for a price of just Rs. 142.
According to a statement on IPC’s website, a survey was conducted before the product’s launch by Pollfish. It found that nearly 90% of Americans find the smell of French Fries irresistible. “Whether you’re at a drive through restaurant or dining in, it’s near impossible to not grab a fry and take a bite before you dive into your meal. The smell is too good to resist,” explained Jamey Higham, President and CEO, IPC. “This perfume is a great gift for anyone who can’t refuse a French fry.”
