    The chances of going to space are, at best, slim to none for most of us, but if you want to smell like space, this might be the aftershave for you. I cant see it beating Old Spice or Hi Karate on the manliness scale, but its a start I suppose. 7DF3C8B6-931E-488C-B97B-6A79254D3AB2.jpeg

    Space smells like raspberries and rum.

    Astrophysicists at the Max Plank institute were studying gas cloud Sagittarius B2. They were searching for free-form amino acids, the building blocks of life as we know it. What they found, however, was large quantities of ethyl formate (C3H6O2). This is the primary determinate of the taste of raspberries and a large component of rum.

    Interestingly enough, the atmosphere on Uranus has methane in it.

    And methane smells like sewer gas (or rotten eggs).

    So, smelling like Uranus probably isn't a good thing. :)

    According to most astronauts, space smells like a mix of gunpowder and burnt steak.

    Sounds like a great idea to spritz some of this on yourself, eh

    I doubt there will ever be a report from anybody who lived through an opportunity for a sniff.
