Look, if you want to go around smelling like an overly-active hedgehog that's constantly working up a sweat from running about at the speed of light, we're not going to judge you. Well, much.
Yes, Numskull Designs has unveiled a new line of official Sega colognes that are supposedly a "treat for your senses". We'll have to take their word on that, but these descriptions do a decent job of letting us imagine just how "invigorating" each scent is.
There are Sonic, Shenmue, and Yakuza options available, because why not? Images can be found below.
Official Sonic the Hedgehog ‘Blue Blur’ Unisex Cologne
Add a gorgeous, refreshing scent to your everyday life with this invigorating Sonic the Hedgehog ‘Blue Blur’ unisex cologne! Given the seal of approval from the famous blue blur, this cologne boasts an aroma of fresh citrus, a zing of grapefruit zest and exotic lemon and lime, topped with the scent of the ocean breeze and chilled melon fade. Take pleasure in the rich base tones of leather, suede, and cedar. This fragrance is excellent for giving as a present to a loved one or yourself!
Official Shenmue ‘Tobacco and Gold’ Unisex Cologne
Rebellious and addictive, this exhilarating Shenmue ‘Tobacco and Gold’ unisex cologne hits all right smells to get the likes of Ryo Hazuki nodding in appreciation. Enjoy this highly masculine fragrance with top notes of clashing cardamom and bergamot, smouldering golden tobacco, deep orris and sage, and a strong patchouli base. This scent is ideal for presenting as a gift to a loved one or for yourself!
Official Yakuza/Ryū ga Gotoku ‘Bourbon and Smoke’ Unisex Cologne
Created for the night, this bold and intriguing Yakuza/Ryū ga Gotoku ‘Bourbon and Smoke’ unisex cologne will have you smelling like the Tojo clan’s finest crime boss! This fragrance flaunts a deep and mysterious scent of antique oak, cedarwood, beeswax infused with smoky bourbon, leathery rose, and scorching pimento. This cologne is perfect for giving as a gift to a loved one or keeping for yourself!
The bottles themselves are pretty cool, we'll admit, but do you really want to smell like the Tojo clan’s finest crime boss? If the answer's yes, you'll find them available from Sega's official European shop for £29.99 / €29,56.
If you do decide to grab a bottle or two, remember to come back and let us know what they're like!

Sega do what Nintendon't!
Maybe Blue Blur cologne for a gag gift instead of coal.
No, thanks.
I don't like the "Too Edgy" attitude from SEGA when they made their product.
I will not buy those perfumes.
I choose Axe perfume from local supermarket instead since its smell is perfect for me.
Smelling like Sonic is OK I guess, but let's be honest, who wouldn't want to smell like Ryo or Kiryu?
Is someone going to make a joke about being fast on the first date? In the bedroom? Come on these are writing themselves. 😂
The Shenmue one is cool.
Sonic probably smells like sweat and chilli-dogs though.
I have a question..for god..... WHY????????
Hell no. Also, I can think of a more authentic way to smell like bourbon and smoke;)
Man that Sonic bottle looks absolutely beautiful. I don't even care about the cologne but I'm totally getting this just for the bottle.
I thought Hedgehog smells like Skunk?
Pleeeese give us total wars smell! 🥺
I don't even want to know what Sonic smells like.
@RupeeClock You win!!! OKAY BOYS, LOCK THE FORUMS
NINJA APPROVED
So Sonic smells like fresh citrus, grapefruit zest, exotic lemon and lime, and chilled melon? Should I be surprised?
How do they even decide what Sonic would smell like?
More importantly, I want whatever the pilot from Gleylancer is wearing.
I was interested in gifting the Puyo Puyo perfumes that came out last year, but shipping was a hassle since they were Japan only, far as I know. Glad to see at least some of these other ones have gone westward.
Here's the runner up Tails' smell it's... Foxy! 😂
Chris Chan really missed out on this
I bought some for my girlfriend for Christmas. She loves Sonic, but also hates Sonic. I imagine this will be much the same.
@WeltraumDreamer as long as you don't smell like Dr. Ivo Robotnik from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog back when he was a sensation in YouTube Poops
I hope you get what I mean
I'd rather smell like Billy Hatcher or Ristar.
Most perfumes and colognes contain a laundry list of chemicals you’d never put near your body if you knew about them, but the manufacture doesn’t have to list them because of stupid laws that protect trade secrets. One of the common ingredients is formaldehyde. You know, what they embalm people with.
Also 30% of people say they get head aches from perfume and other airborne irritants. Do you really like the idea of making a third of the people you interact with sick?
WHAT THE HELMET
I want a Knuckles cologne I can spray directly onto my knuckles.
"...from running about at the speed of light" dude it's right in the song: "Rolling around at the speed of sound"
No thanks. I’d rather not smell like mediocrity.
Gotta go fast i guess
@Lem1697 To quote Nick Fury: "Don't invoke her name!"
@CactusMan If we can get cologne from Atlus characters, I would want a cologne based around Joker from Persona 5.
Who wouldn't want to smell like a stylish and elegant Phantom Thief.
But out of these smells, I would want the Sonic cologne the best.
I don't like smelling like alcohol or tobacco. I would want to smell like ocean breeze, though, one of the smells in the Sonic cologne.
Also, isn't Ryo a teenager? Why would he smell like tobacco when he legally cannot smoke? Probably from being in '80s Japan, a time and place when everyone smoked everywhere all the time.
Also also, why are they marketing the Shenmue and Yakuza cologne as unisex when they are clearly men's cologne, even being described as "masculine" by the official description?
This reminds me of the time when Square Enix released official Cloud Strife cologne that they marketed as unisex even when it was a reference to his crossdressing sidequest.
As a collector of official Shenmue merchandise, these need to be released in the US!
They had me at the sonic one until the leather and suede.
Also, are they writing a fragrance description, or a dime store romance novel?
