Wouldn't you like to smell like the Pope? Well, you can! Apparently, The Pope’s Cologne is a classic Old World cologne made from the private formula of Pope Pius IX (1792-1878). It is, they claim, made from an exclusive 150 year old formula, using the original essential oils as were used by the perfumers of old, creating a fresh fragrance with "surprising" notes of violet and citrus. (I can't imagine what's so surprising about violet and citrus, other than possibly it being a suprise that a Pope smelled like flowers and fruit?)
You can even get a free sample (USA only, I would imagine, given postal laws regarding shipping hazardous goods and flammable liquids). The website even has a collection of interesting pictures of the Pope you can smell like!
