Ever stop at a truck stop and think, “Gosh, I wish I could smell like this bacon everyday to drive women crazy.” Well, wait no longer. Chicago’s John Leydon has released “Bacon” by Fargginay, which will give you that “fresh from the diner” smell.
You can choose between “Bacon Classic” (with a “spicy maple aroma) and “Bacon Gold” (“sizzling citrus.”) for $36 a bottle.
You can wear it on a date to Denny’s which has introduced Bacon Sundaes.
Leydon insists that the fragrance is perfectly unisex — both sexes can be improved by smelling like a short-order cook.
After all, pigs were the product of “husbandry” going back for centuries.
The brand is named after John Fargginay, a Parisian butcher “who accidentally uncovered a ‘magical elixir’ of oils and the essence of bacon in 1920.”
By the way, I recommend that you put on your bacon cologne before using your bacon torch:

AY & SL,
Please take pictures
Gyges, You are right. There is a dried pancetta, too.
SM,
Not only am I thinking of it, it’s what I swore was written.
I blame Bob the Builder.
Gyges, I think you are thinking of prosciutto or capicola.
Thanks Elaine and Swarthmore Mom,
So is it bacon from Italian pigs? How did Berlusconi get into this discussion??
Rafflaw,
Dry cured ham. Most of the time, people are thinking of the raw variety but there is a cooked variation as well.
Elaine,
“but also in smaller quantities in human sweat glands.”
rafflaw,
It’s an Italian version of bacon that is cured but not smoked. I believe it’s made from pork belly.
rafflaw, Some call it Italian bacon but it is not smoked.
Gyges,
Only if the opposite sex is sows!
😉
What is pancetta??
Perhaps Truffle oil might be a bit more useful for attracting the opposite sex.

Elaine, You are on to something. If I tell my husband that I am cooking something with pancetta in it, his eyes widen.
I’ve come up with my own Italian version of bacon cologne for women. The perfume is called Pancetta–it’s got a gourmet scent that drives male epicures wild and makes them hunger for a second date. Men have been know to exclaim to women who wear it: “Holy Vatican, Honey, you smell good enough to eat!”

Bacon cologne! Damn! I should have thought of that. I’ve been walking around for the last twenty years with a strip of raw bacon draped over each ear. No wonder I can’t get a second date!
AY,
“Oh goody….Austin, The Hyatt, the first week of June…”
Will you be standing to my right or left? Need to make sure the arrows pointing in the right direction 😀

BIL,
“I’ll need to keep bail money handy.”
Promise??
This whole thread needs to be panned.
SWM,
I am happy here for the moment…
Romance will sizzle
A few years ago, Burger King released its very own men’s body spray, Flame.
Not recommended for vegetarians, Flame was promoted as, “…the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat”.
