I couldn't make this sh*t up if I tried. Really. Browsing through the Square Enix merchandise booth, I discovered this in a lone case: Cloud Strife Eau de Toilette. Yes, now you can not only emulate Cloud, cosplay him poorly and continue to obsess over Final Fantasy VII, but you can also SMELL like him. Best idea ever, right?
If you look at the pics in the gallery, you'll notice I took a close up shot of the little card next to the cologne. That's because I wanted you to clearly read the price, which is 6,800 yen, or about seventy dollars in US funds. SEVENTY DOLLARS TO SMELL LIKE CLOUD. The mind reels. Now go to the comments and tell me what you think about this. If you think it's a great idea, you better be able to tell me why.

If you want to smell androgynous, that's your own set of issues.
bottle of cologne? videogames don't have scents, would Cloud smell like
clouds..?
Are you for serious? You don't imagine your characters' scents? Kirby smells like bubblegum, obviously, while Mario is mushrooms and sweat. Mm.
@Beyamor: Solid Snake smells like cigarettes and awesome.
If I was wiping my butt with $100 bills, I'd totally buy it.
No wait better question: Would anyone buying actually be buying it to wear it?
That said...well...I want one.
Besides , it means perfume in french. We rarely use it to define anything else.
Ah, I don't know anything about cologne or perfume's, I buy the cheap shit so no wonder I've never seen that label on them before.
made from fanboy tears when Aeris died
I probably don't get it since I haven't played FF7 in full, but who would wanna smell like a toilet?
@Colette
When can we buy Mr. Destructoid perfume? The bottle will look awesome. Or what about all the editors? Actually a pretty damn good idea!
Eau de Chad (Dolphin scent, what else did you expect?)
Eau de Colette (or Eau de Bennette)
Eau de Brad (2X one smells a bit more masculine)
Eau de Conrad
Eau de Monocle
Only numbered Limited Editions of course. You'd better get to work!
@Kraid
It's actually the other way around. From the highest to the lowest concentration:
Parfum
Eau de parfum
Eau de toilette
Eau de cologne
@Beyamor, i imagine mario would smell like plumber... You ever been within a foot of a plumber...? Yeah, not pleasant.
I'd rather smell like Tifa so I can suplex giant f***ing dragons.
