There Is Now a Potato Perfume & I’m Freaking Out
Everyone wants in the perfume game these days. Much of that has to do with perfume sales exploding during the COVID-19 pandemic. People are turning to perfumes for comfort and happiness. Celebrity perfumes seem to launch daily.
But we have our limits. And a new potato perfume may have breached that limit, albeit intentionally.
The Idaho Potato Commission released a new potato perfume just in time for Valentine’s Day. In a press release, the IPC calls their potato perfume Frites by Idaho.
Just lovely.
Frites by Idaho is composed of various essential oils. It smells like potatoes, as the name suggests.
“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,” IPC President and CEO Jamey Higham said, justifying the creation of a potato scent.
There is some good news in this. If you want to try this potato perfume, you’ll pay under $2. The bad news is your Valentine’s date is unlikely to want to kiss you at the end of the night.
So if you desire your own private Idaho (yeah, anything to throw down a B’52s reference), spritz a little Frites by Idaho on your wrists and neck.
