The Smell Of “Victory”

Search

Miscalleneous

To help you appreciate last year’s victory with all your senses, Ali Khalil, a Lebanese entrepreneur invented 4 fragrances “inspired” by Hezbollah’s “divine victory”

Mr. Khalil wanted to present a gift to the Lebanese people, by placing the perfumes in small yellow boxes with Hassan Nassrallah’s pictures on them. But don’t worry, they won’t set you back too much; they are sold for a symbolic amount.

The first perfume is a unisex offering called the “Resistance Fragrance”. The second is the “Triumph Fragrance”, the third is the “Dignity (shumukh) Fragrance”, and the fourth is the “Truthful Promise Fragrance”. The boxes are emblazoned with various speeches of Hassan Nassrallah to the fighters and speeches by the fighters to their leader..

The fragrances are apparently selling very well in some parts of Lebanon..

No thanks, I will keep using Giafranco Ferre instead of Hassouna Nasralla fragrance ;)

Nice one; I wonder how the smell of sectarianism would be, or the smell of ‘thank you Bashar’…

pathetic

What is the symbolic amount in US dollars?

It’s interesting how any situation or event can be exploited in new or unusual ways. There is always the usual t-shirts and bumperstickers. PerFUMES seems particularly innovative.

It’s nice to see that Hezbollah is going for the cultured crowd at last. I await their opera, museum, theatuh and gourmet recipe book.
