Former Baseball Player Jose Canseco has invented a manfume.

Yep, a perfume for men. You know, like cologne, but with some extra femininity. Or maybe it’s like a perfume, but with some extra manliness. Whatever it is, it’s weird, it contains dragon blood, and if you want to buy a case of it you’ll have to contact Canseco’s agent directly. Oh, it can also transfer Canceco’s powers to you when you wear it.

Jose Canseco Manfume Contains Dragon Blood, Magical Properties  The former baseball player explained the new fragrance on Twitter.

Speaking of ingredients, the other three “secret ingredients” are odors from our collective youth and according to Canseco, they will transfer the baseball player’s powers to us when we wear his manfume. What could those ingredients be? Steroids? Is Jose Canseco trying to sell a dragon blood perfume laced with steroids? 

Mercedes’ New Perfume-Infused Flagship

There’s luxury and then there’s Luxury. The next flagship from Mercedes-Benz falls into the latter camp, with hand-stitched leather, acres of wood trim, heated and massaging seats and “active perfuming” technology. Yes, that’s a bottle of eau de toilette in the glovebox.

With Mercedes-Benz’s parent company Daimler shuttering the over-priced and rarely purchased Maybach line, the tri-star brand can finally move up a rung in the luxury game. The all-conquering S-Class is finally getting the makeover it deserves, but before the wraps officially come off the all-new S next month, Mercedes is showing off the most important part: the interior.

With outside air being put through a variety of filters to eliminate any offending smells or allergy-inducing pollens, Mercedes ups the luxury quotient even more with its “air-balance” system that increases the “concentration of negatively charged oxygen ions” to provide a calming effect. Add in the “active perfuming system” which atomizes a Mercedes-specific fragrance that can be manually adjusted for intensity (or switched off entirely), and you’ve got the freshest interior this side of a Four Seasons spa day.

Just Like Mushrooms, Keep Your Perfume and Cologne in the Dark

If you keep a few bottles of perfume or cologne around the house, but don't use them that often, consider storing them in a box in your closet to keep them from going bad.

Kristin Appenbrink at Real Simple warns us that heat and light can alter the scent of your fragrances, so it's best to keep them in cool, dark environments. Out in the open, perfumes and colognes will still last several months, so this isn't a huge deal if you use them often and go through a bottle fairly quickly. If you only break out fragrances for special occasions though, this tip will maintain the proper scent for well over a year, meaning you won't have to rush out to replace it on the one night you really needed it.


Just keep them in the original box and avoid putting them in the bathroom, the change of temperatures there will make them go bad.
For a refreshing treat, store the ones made for summer time, preferably, in the refrigerator, the cool effect with citruses, mints and herbs feel really nice. A better trick is to do it with bottles close to finish so you don't have to take them out and having weather affect them.
