A Perfume Maker Is Selling Stilton, Pigs in Blankets & Christmas Pudding Flavoured Scents

Ever wondered what a Stilton-flavoured perfume would smell like? Can’t say we have either, but if you’re curious, PerfumeDirect.com has just launched a set of three limited edition seasonal scents, paying homage to the nation’s favourite festive foods.

A three-piece pack containing ‘Scent of Stilton’, ‘Eau de Christmas Pudding’ and ‘Pigs in Blanket Parfum’ costs £59 and is being touted as a quirky gift for foodies.

With notes of buttermilk, cheese and phenols, Scent of Stilton is an ode to the iconic British stinky cheese, which is set to grace thousands of dinner tables up and down the country this Christmas. With 76% of Brits claiming Christmas wouldn’t be the same without a cheeseboard featuring Stilton1, the unique perfume could be an ideal table present for guests who enjoy a cheesy treat at the end of their Christmas dinner.

Eau de Christmas Pudding is predicted to be the most popular of the three fragrances with top notes of berries, citrus, almond and apple, complimented by vanilla, clove and cognac, resulting in a warm, comforting scent that is slightly fruity. With almost half the nation citing Christmas Pudding as their top festive dessert2, it’s perfect for those who prefer a fruity finish to their meal.

With pigs in blankets recently crowned as the top trimming by 59% of the nation3, Pigs in Blanket Parfum will make a lasting impression with foodie fans for whom no Christmas dinner is complete without the infamous side dish. The pork-perfumed scent will leave notes of bacon, sausage, smoked spice and clove on its wearer, being sure to make Christmas 2019 one to remember.

Jonny Webber from Perfume Direct said: “Our choice of fragrances were the result of a survey into which smells remind people most of Christmas – with stilton, Christmas pud and pigs in blankets coming out top. And by creating a perfume capturing these notes, the magic of Christmas can last and last way beyond Boxing Day.

“A pigs in blanket perfume may seem a crazy idea, but it is actually quite nice. My favourite is most definitely the Christmas pudding one, but that’s my favourite part of Christmas dinner overall. The Stilton perfume is certainly different and will probably turn a few heads when the wearer walks past.”
