Review: VULVA Original vaginal scent perfume

There's a new German product on the market, and it's pretty self-explanatory-- it's a tiny bottled product called VULVA Original, long-researched to mimic vaginal scent, from the company Vivaeros. The intent is less about perfume, and more about smelling for your "personal pleasure".

I was sent a sample to review for this column, so here we go. 

Some thoughts: 

+ They are utterly unashamed about selling their product, rather than surreptitious. Much of their advertisement is silly/sexy. One of their promotional videos features a cartoon man daydreaming, sniffing some VULVA Original, and getting a, um, nose erection. Think Pinocchio. (Which is now utterly tainted for me, by the way.) They also feature a video of a fitness trainer and a exercising woman dripping with sweat, a video of some lesbian sniffing action, and a free gallery of nude models posing with VULVA covering (sort of) their vulvas. My mailed press kit included even more explicit images and erotic brochures. No euphemisms here, it's definitely for adults.

- It's not edible. I'm sensing the next step could be a tastable product. 

The sniff test:

Both directly out of the bottle, and applied to the skin (shaken not stirred!) it's a pleasant scent. And they've pretty much got it. There's a pretty accurate combination of tangy and musky, although leaning towards spicy/sweaty. As evidenced by many of the promotional materials, it may be intended to smell like vaginal sweat, rather than merely vaginal fluid. Part of the smell is less organic than real vagina, which would be, you know, the chemicals they used to make it. Can't help that with an artificial product. Beyond that, though, it is definitely believable. Add in the promotional gallery/videos to the experience, and this company has themselves some happy vagina-loving campers for less than 20 euros.

On a side not, some believe that only hetero/bi men and bi/lesbian women think it smells pleasant, and that gay men in particular are grossed out. This is roughly based on pheromone science, although if true, probably more because of mere smell familiarity. A gay male friend's sniff test ended with ambiguous results-- he looked at the bottle with uncertainty, and said it smelled like a Christmas tree.

'Tis the season?

The final word: There's nothing like the real thing, and every woman is different, but VULVA Original isn't too far off. Since the product is intended for arousal/masturbation, and masturbation keeps people happy and healthy, it gets a thumbs up.

Here's a link to the Wikipedia entry, which lists the NSFW link where the product is sold. Even the website name is fun, so check it out if you're 18+.

What do you think? Would you buy it? Feel free to comment on why.

    Finally someone gets it! I never understood why women are so embarrassed by their vagina smell. It's a natural pheromone and real heterosexual men LOVE IT. Vagina juices are the most erotic fragrance ever, and it enhances the sensation of intercourse. Any male who doesn't like it, (I'm convinced) is either completely Gay, or unknowingly is a Bisexual. Attention Ladies: A real Man, would NEVER ask you to wash your vagina before sex.
    Pussy Smell doesn't have to be such a Taboo Topic of conversation anymore.

    They're missing the boat here. If the stuff is authentic, it would be a boon to post menopausal women and their men. Older men miss the smell of a fecund younger woman, and older women would like to have a better hold on their sexual attraction to their men. If this stuff is right, it would be a boon to a significant market of 50-55 year old and plus couples.

    A woman's "scent" is one of the most primal and influential parts of a males arousal. The genetic coding in us all is split into three animal catagories, canine, primate, and avian. I myself am more inclined to canine, avian, then primate, as such I am more driven by my sense of smell and the more domineering predatorial instincts. This is a perfect product for any guy under the same spectrum.

    I tried this product because I love the smell of of my girlfriend's vuvla. Unfortunately, this product doesn't compare. It smells more like a perfume, and a bit too stringent for me. There is a hint of vagina in there, but overall it just doesn't come close enough to the real thing to be worth it for me.
