The Pope, trying to show how in touch the Catholic Church is with everyday people, has had his own cologne created:
Italian celebrity perfume-maker Silvana Casoli, has created her most heavenly scent yet for a very special client, Pope Benedict XVI.
Known for creating a number of perfumes that can be used by both men and women with names like Chocolat Bambola (Chocolate doll) and Vanilla Bourbon, Casoli has designed unique fragrances for famous personalities like Madonna and Sting.
Speaking to Rome’s daily paper, Il Messaggero, Casoli said that the name of the pope’s specially-commissioned scent is top secret and she is not allowed to divulge all its ingredients. She did, however, reveal that she was inspired by the pope’s love of “nature” and used a blend of fragrances from lime-wood, verbena and grass.
What name would you suggest? And what’s your guess for the ingredients? Tears of little boys, or of AIDS ridden Africans? I can’t decide.
I would call it Stinks To High Heaven.
And I’m thinking the secret ingredient is probably pus. But that’s just a guess.
Mmmm! Smells like corruption.
Smells like children.
I am, however, intensely curious about this Vanilla Bourbon.

You, sir, win one internets.
It should be called Golden Throne because the Vatican is so sparkly. Its ingredients should include the blood of women who died after septic abortions.
My friend Greg suggested we call it Popeourri.
I suggest the name “Santorum”. Ingredients? Something to do with anal froth?
Deception: For Men
and it is made of crocodile tears
Tristesse de femmes. The secret ingredient is the blood of women who died from pregnancy complications doctors at Catholic hospitals refused to treat lest it terminate the pregnancy.
Perhaps it should be called “Poverty”. For the vow he took… in theory.
Smells Like Holy Spirit
Because who doesn’t want to bathe themselves in the scent of pendulous, sweaty, old-man parts?
Popé le Pew?
Heaven Scent.
Indulgences haven’t been selling well lately, he needs to raise cash for the new defense: ‘You can’t sue bishops for not supervising pedophile priests; it is a violation of our religious liberty.’ first para. first link.

A suitable name would be “Warning”, because if you smell it coming you know to get the hell out of there.
Incense and pope-eremints
Ugh.
I heard about this on Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!, and I was surprised to find out that it wasn’t one of their hoaxes.
Benedict’s “Back to the Dark”
Maybe: I smell sex and candy here…
Castration
