Smells Like Penn State Spirit

In honor of the holiday shopping season, Paper Trail has stumbled upon the hottest new thang in collegiate gear: campus-branded perfume and cologne. One of the first schools to get the aromatic treatment is Penn State, whose men apparently smell like blue cypress and cracked pepper and women are more "influenced by the graceful structure of Old Main and classic white with hints of vanilla, lilac, and rose," the Collegian reports.

The perfume line, Masik Collegiate Fragrances, was created by a Bucknell alum (not enough market share?) and also includes North Carolina, with more schools to come.

Smells Great!

For those locals that are wondering, the UNC men's cologne smells very good...my wife bought it for me at a game recently and shipped it out to Alabama for me...I have a feeling that I will be buying the women's perfume for her for Christmas....Go Tarheels!!!!!

Love it!!!

Wow - what a great gift idea!!!...A friend of mine has the Penn State perfume and it is very nice. I will get the Penn State cologne for my husband (as he is an alum). Thanks for the article...
