As the Ebola Virus is currently
ravaging most of West Africa and getting the attention of the whole
world for the wrong reasons, some people are however also cashing on it.
From makers of Ebola Halloween costumes, to others setting a high price for a domain name Ebola, a French company is now set to release a perfume called EBOLA.
According to reports from several French websites, the Director of Marketing for the EBOLA Perfume, Aleron Céline,
says the popularity of the name has prompted the company to name one of
their products after it. Céline says the company is doing it just for
humour purposes and not to scare anybody.
“Ebola
headlines dominate our daily life. It’s a household word everybody is
thinking about, everybody is talking about. And so many people joke
about Ebola we feel that they will find it funny to spray themselves
with EBOLA too… as a bit of a joke,” Céline says
“Of
course, some might see people spraying themselves with EBOLA and think
they are deliberately infecting themselves and that will be part of the
fun, but this is just a unisex fragrance completely absent of Ebola
virus. It’s just a very nice smell… earthy, grassy smelling," Céline
added.
The perfume will be carried at boutique shops throughout France and sold online for a retail price of $399 USD.
