'Twilight' fans can smell like Bella now! Get your hands on it at Hot Topic.

I haven't stepped inside a Hot Topic since the mid-90s, when I thought cheap fishnet stockings and plaid miniskirts equaled hip not whore-ish, so I have to give Perez Hilton props for pointing out the store's new Twilight-inspired fragrance. The celebrity gossip blogger launched his own clothing line at the tween-friendly shop in June of 2008.

The new fragrance is inspired by Stephenie Meyer's hit vampire books and the massively successful movie adaptation of the series' first tome. The apple-shaped bottle, with the phrase 'the forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest" inscribed on it, stocks a blood-red potion that smells of "delicious lavender and freesia." Its box has the uber-sexy Robert Pattinson as Edward and whiny Bella on it. And tweens should only have to save up a few week's allowance to purchase the perfume: It costs 48 bucks for 2.7 ounces.
