“A sweating body already offers a show of erotic repulsion and attraction. The body’s primordial temptation to cover itself with its secretions. A mere trickle of water flowing over a smooth stone is enough to make it erotic. Everything that slides evokes sexual pleasure, even the wind. Sliding would thus seem to be the source of all pleasure, and perhaps of meaning.”

— Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories (via applepieskies)

I watched a clip somewhere from a New Japan show/interview (probably youtube) where Francesco was showing what was in his gym bag and Bleu de Chanel was there.

I wonder of there are more infos about other wrestlers fragrances in other videos.

I wish I saved it somewhere...

Ooh good eye! Yeah I'm sure more is out there, I only caught Despe talking about perfume by complete chance scrubbing through a livestream, and there's so much video content of all these guys. I trust the information will find us if we are meant to have it!

This paints such a beautiful picture

As part of the venn diagram of overlapping fragrances and wrestling, I just want to share my knowledge about Francesco Akira wearing Bleu de Chanel.

Because I don't know who else in the world would care about this information.

over the MOON to have received this message, thank you so much anon, this is absolutely the kind of information I long to receive!! How do you know just out of interest, has he talked about it somewhere?

Francesco Akira - Bleu de Chanel by Chanel

Woody Aromatic

Citrus, labdanum, cedar, sandalwood, frankincense

One perfume blog used the phrase 'a competent, commercial, focus group winner' and compared it to Despe's Allure Homme Sport, so I assume it's similarly very pleasant if unmemorable

Gorgeous bottle

Also collating some more info about Chris Brookes's fragrance wardrobe in the notes on my last post:

- Dirty by Lush (mint, tarragon, sandalwood, lavender) and Noir by Tom Ford (amber, patchouli, iris, leather) courtesy of @bigbroaddumbass

somehow i have amassed knowledge of several wrestlers' fragrance choices and i thought it might be interesting to other people in the venn diagram overlap of wrestling and perfume

El Desperado - Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême by Chanel

Woody Aromatic/Aromatic Musk

Mandarin, cypress, musk, tonka bean

"Its intense and carnal character evokes a man on the move, someone unstoppable."

Fun fact: also worn by Justin McElroy.

Source: he showed the bottle on a livestream

Jay White - Stronger With You by Armani

Amber Fougere (reads like more of an Oriental to me and definitely didn't smell herbal or green but I guess the lavender/sage are in there)

Pink peppercorn, lavender, sage, chestnut, amber, vanilla

"... a confident elegance, with the easy nonchalance of youth."

(he could have been referring to one of the flankers of this EdT, I believe they're relatively similar)

Source: he mentioned it during an online signing session

Minoru Suzuki - Eau de Minthé by Diptyque

Aromatic Fougere

Patchouli, geranium, mint, rose oxide

He has also worn Bay Rum by C. O. Bigelow (bay leaf, citrus, spices)

Wtf is 'rose oxide'

Source: his instagram

Shota Umino - Snow Fairy by Lush

Gourmand

Cotton candy, cherry, vanilla, pear

Chris Charlton and Walker Stewart often talked on commentary about how good Shota Umino smelled when he'd walk past them, to quote Chris 'like Dr. Pepper'

Source: Chris Charlton

Chris Brookes: American Cream by Lush

Oriental Vanilla

Vanilla, milk, benzoin, lavender

for some reason the Lush website subtitles this 'awesome strawberry and vanilla' but if there's strawberry in there it is imperceptible

To me on the blotter this leaned heavily sweet plasticky vanilla with a suggestion of lavender, like if in 2003 they'd made a vanilla lavender-scented gel pen

Source: his twitter

apparently Kosei Fujita wears a Jo Malone fragrance but sadly I don't know which one* :( if you know of any other wrestler perfumes please tell me!

*taking this opportunity to give a PSA, while I have enjoyed other Jo Malone fragrances I sampled Nectarine Blossom and Honey and then spent a panicked ten minutes trying to find somewhere to throw the blotter paper away and wash my hands, to me it was the worst of coriander/cilantro plus a damp sports towel you left in a gym bag for three weeks, just awful. Others enjoy it apparently so ymmv but BE CAREFUL.
