Is it an April Fool's gag or flame-grilled brilliance? We'll have to wait until April 1 to find out.

Burger King ads in Japan promise a limited-edition perfume for April Fool's Day to make you smell like a couple of all-beef patties.

The name may lose something in translation, but Flame-Grilled Fragrance will sell for 5,000 yen (about $41) and comes with a free Whopper. How's that for an offer?

It's a one-day sale, according to Burger King, and only available at stores in Japan. Sorry, rest of the world.

Burger King did this a few years back in the United States with the fragrance Flame.

Flame was billed as "the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat." Yep, pretty much says it all.

I feel like I should say something here, but seriously I'm just going to let the idea speak for itself

**-Loki-**

Japan.

Plot Twist: It's specifically for the ladies.

**SagesStone**

I'm surprised this wasn't for America.

**KiloFiX**

Somehow, I think this would be detrimental for a guy who lives in the sticks like me.

**sarpedons-right-hand**

Well, broiled, charcoled meat smells better than the filth that Ferrari deign to call 'Perfume'. So it could be worse...

Rub a steak on yourself and go for a walk and find out.

**Bullockist**

Why not just walk out with your natural smell?
there have been many studies that equate male attractiveness to women due to smell just under height.

I'[m not sure we need to smell like a whopper to advertise a whopper.

**lord_blackfang**

Finally, I will at least *smell* beefy!

Americans don't need a perfume to smell like hamburgers

**Buttery Commissar**

The idea troubles me on a level I can't readily articulate, but at least it's not hotdogs and onions.

Now a guy who smells like baked bread, or cakes, I could go for that. Get on it, perfumers.

**djones520**

Hot Dogs and Onions?

Now that is the scent of a real man.

**Torga_DW**

I thought it was beans and cabbage? In any event, i'm not sure i want to smell like someone who's dropped a whopper.

**KalashnikovMarine**

A little vanilla extract behind the ears can work wonders in line with what Buttery is saying.

**Pete Melvin**

Cheaper version:

Buy Whopper
Rub Whopper on body (allow Whopper to cool first)
Eat Whopper
???
Profit

**Bishop F Gantry**

What a turn on, men smelling like hot burnt sweaty lard... said no one ever.

**Gitkikka**

If I wanted to smell like a greasy, nasty fast food burger, I'd just work at a Burger King. (Spoiler alert: I don't.)

P.S. 666 posts? Well, Hail Satan! \m/ \m/

Reminds way back in the day when I was a lowly soldier station in South Korea for year

Was not me being I am Half Asian to

American "Why do you all smell like Kimchee?"
KATUSA "Why do Americans smell like cheese burgers?"

**Bullockist**

Kim chee smells like sweat so I think it's not such a stretch to say Koreans smell like Kim chee.
