war paint & perfume



wode is the 'revolutionary art fragrance' from boudicca.
the perfume container resembles a spray-paint can. when sprayed on skin and clothing, the liquid appears cobalt blue but completely disappears within minutes, leaving just the scent.

according to the website,
"queen boudicca...and her tribe wore a cobalt blue war paint on their skin that gave them a ferocious and mythical look when advancing into battle. when finally defeated by the romans, queen boudicca killed herself by swallowing hemlock, an extract of which is included in wode."



you can purchase a 150 ml bottle, colored or clear for 65 gbp (roughly $112), plus shipping of course.

sounds cool, but i'm pretty sure its just scented, disappearing ink (like the kind you could redeem tickets for at the arcade after playing skeeball a few hundred times). they still get innovation points as the first ones to market couture, colored perfume.
