Anchorman: Sex Panther

[Nastka]

For those people who don't know, the movie Anchorman birthed probably the most popular, fragrance-related meme:

Well, it turns out that the original prop is being auctioned off for charity:

Charitybuzz: Screen Used Sex Panther Prop from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Bid to win the screen used Sex Panther prop from the first Anchorman movie! Adam's thoughts: Yes this is the actual Sex Panther prop from the first...

So... who's putting in a bid? I'm sadly skint, and the estimated closing price is waaaaaaay out of my league!

Welll... since I recently bought JD Perfumery's Juste Filthy Noir Homme and Scatamalis, I'm exempt. @Toxicon? @Pippin06? @Bueller?

Speaking of anchorman fragrances, they just released this set last year, apparently 😬:

I doubt there was too much thought put into this gag, but was there a men's fragrance that was that objectionable to people in the early 1970s? There were some truly funky fragrances in that time period, in relation to what's fashionable in modern times.

When first watching the scene, I thought of Fahrenheit ("that smells like pure gasoline.") and then later, stuff like Kouros--but Kouros being received by college millennials or Gen Z. Now that I think about it, maybe Trussardi Uomo? It can smell amazing on some people, and other times, it's smelled straight up awful.

In that scene, I think I spotted Avon Leather in the bootle bottle.

I'm ridiculously tempted. Could use a little more sex appeal. Will have to check my savings account balance.

Maybe I'll just grow a mustache and grow sideburns like our anchor above. Sexy.

That's a pretty penny.

Maybe these guys wore this.

The funny thing is, that's how a lot of people react when they smell natural musk, civet, etc...

Up to $45k for a $100 cigar humidor, some fake grass and a plastic Panther Head? LOL. I’ll pass.

I do have an original bottle of Sex Panther with the box that growls when you open it. I was very disappointed when I smelled it. No dirty diaper filled with Indian food scent at all. I don’t think it even has pieces of real panther in it either. Smells a bit like Cool Water. 👎

Why?

I still just take heart knowing that “60 percent of the time, it works every time…” 😛
