here is a place in the Pacific Ocean - the farthest place from land on all sides. In the depths of this pole of inaccessibility a sunken city sleeps. And in that city of R'lyeh, far below the waves and the sunlight and the happiness, dreams the Great Cthulhu. And what does the Great Malignant One dream about? Companionship. See, Cthulhu is in love with love. And the Great One exudes a scent to attract lovers. Three sailors went mad making sure this scent was bottled and shipped to our warehouses. We think it was well worth it, though, because now we can offer you Cthulhu in Love Perfume.
Working with the brilliant scent-ologists at the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (you know 'em; you love 'em), we are ever so proud to present this unique and totally ThinkGeek Exclusive perfume. The scent is intoxicating, described by its creators as "an amorphous mix of oppressive, piceous ritual incense, macerated kelp, sea salt, sticky dark ocean plants, and . . . mixed chocolates." That means this is what Cthulhu smells like when he wants to get it on. Seriously, you're going to adore the magic, ancient, sensual, and (dare we say) arousing scent of Cthulhu in Love Perfume.
Seriously, even at $20, this is the worst idea ever. You want to wear a scent that the dark Elder Gods, the horrors at the end of imagination, find sexy? Why not make it easier on yourself, find a giant squid with a bad attitude and a penchant for sadism, and ask it to rape you? I guarantee it'll still be more pleasant than if Cthulhu sees you and starts singing Flight of the Conchords' "Business Time" song.
