UK high street retailer GAME – which is no stranger to festive gimmicks – has announced that it has produced a Super Mario-themed luxury perfume for Christmas.
Called "Eau De Plumber", the unisex scent has been "expertly curated and crafted by some of Basingstoke’s leading perfumers" and is "painstakingly blended with deep, toadstooly undertones, with high tones of peach and daisy".
This brand-new unisex fragrance is lovingly crafted for the busy gamer on the go. Significant other kidnapped by giant reptilian tyrant? Rushing from one side of town to the other with a strict time limit of 300 seconds? Eau De Plumber has you covered and brings a whole new meaning to words ‘toilet water’.
GAME is also releasing a perfume called FPS (First Person Scent), a "grenade-shaped scent can be described as ‘best appreciated from thirty feet away’ and ‘slightly gunpowdery’ and is a celebration of the nation’s love of popular FPS games".
Both will cost £19.99 for 200ml, and are limited to one per customer. Don't all rush at once.

Looks like GAME are trying to self-destruct again.
They are all sold out!
Those descriptions sound like a Monty Python sketch. Perfume that is best appreciated from 30 feet away? Toadstooly undertones? Tell me you use only the finest Cornish ram's bladder and call it a day.
That sought after sewer scent.
Haha. Uhm. Okay. No thanks. But it's good for a laugh.
Which leads me to think, what would it take for me to ever buy from Game again?
Who doesn't want to smell like sweaty plumber that wears the same outfit 99% if the time?
I don't need perfume to smell like fungus.
Plumbers works with pipes, pipes transport organic waste, I don’t know if I want to smell like that...
It will smell like CK 1 these type of aftershaves/ perfumes always do lol
Out of stock? This is a worse failure than PS5/XSX going out of stock
I imagine it would smell of funky ball sweat.
im terrified at the concept of what mario characters smell like
That's made not far from me. Perhaps I'll go see if they made anymore.
They do this every year and it's quite clever. Launch some really dumb product so they get free press as people making news stories over it. Remember the Christmas Dinner in a tin a few years back?
@dew12333 Correction, the item is listed under "coming soon"
The thing is, if Nintendo released a line of Super Mario fragrances that were composed by professional perfumers and priced reasonably — which in this case actually means at least five times more expensive; this is so cheap it can only be garbage — I'd consider them. No reason not to welcome interaction between some of my hobbies.
This product and its listing are very suspect.
It doesn't look official, and notice how they don't show any other angles, that might reveal how the iconic cap might not have the insignia "M" on it.
@pixelpatch Weird, I just checked again and it's say out of stock.
"jo what kinda smell is that?"
Smells like a plumber 🤣
@RupeeClock that's because it's not an official Mario product, it's made by GAME stores in the UK in honour of Mario.
The name just really sucks like tf is de plumber Sounds like old mario.
Did that scalping group (that clamed to have nabbed the PS5/Xbox Xs)
Nab all of these because they think its the next hot ticket ?!?
LoL
@dew12333 Oh i mean I dont even know if the item was in stock yet to begin with since it's in the coming soon.
weird way to brand it, id get it for my GF if it was Princess Peach themed
@pixelpatch It's a bit strange because it says it released earlier in December but only reported on here yesterday. It seemed to me that it released and then sold out, so not really to sure why they reported it.
Maybe they collude with other to create the click bait stories now a days!
@dew12333 The press release for this only got sent out yesterday
@Damo You mean you didn't !!
(it actually sounds like a feasible idea)
