One said, Bacon lovers everywhere here’s a perfume for you. Now you can not only eat bacon but smell like it all day long bacon I can only imagine the things that one will attract with that perfume.
So on the one hand, I love this and would totally wear it. On the flip side, I see a lot that could go wrong, because there’s a lot of wild animals who would love it too. It’s a genuine dilemma, said another.
