New Celebrity Fragrance: Hannibal Lecter “Smell like a Cannibal?”

hannibal tv show perfume

One of the movies that still gives me nightmares is Jonathan Demme's Silence of The Lambs, starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodi Foster. There is a line from the movie that I always remember about perfume…Hannibal Lecter says to  FBI trainee Clarice Starling; "You use Evyan creme and sometimes you wear L'Air du Temps, but not today."

 Lecter's keen sense of smell and epicurean tastes will be turned into an eponymous perfume. NBC and Gaumont Intl are partnering with Evolution, a global branding firm to license the popular TV series Hannibal Lector (starring Mads Mikkelsen) in a number of "lifestyle" categories. With past episodes named Sorbet. Apertif, Entree, and Amuse Bouche, the possibilites for gourmands are endless.

Perfect for Mother's Day… No wait that's Bates  Motel.

Why is a cannibal / serial killer being turned into a ‘lifestyle brand’ anyway? Interesting choice of words. If any of the fragrances list fava beans and chianti notes as ingredients …

    The Silence of The Lambs or better the acting of Anthony Hopkins gave me the creeps …. not even to imagine a perfume associated with the character of this play …. no not for me please…

    Ridley Scott didn’t direct Silence of the Lambs, Jonathan Demme did. Scott directed the sequel, Hannibal though. 🙂

    May watch the series, won’t try the perfume…not when there are so many others I’d rather try.

    Not exactly thrilled with the news about the perfume or the series. Why can’t they leave things alone. Manhunter and Silence of the Lambs were epic. Then Hannibal’s saga became worse with every sequel and something tells me that the series is not going to fix that.

    My guess on the perfume is that it would be a “second skin” type… what do you think?

    The series is amazingly creepy. I’m a fan of it. What makes it special is the Art Direction. If they are that creative with gore and food then maybe the scents might be worth trying. Its worth a watch from the beginning.

    I’m disturbed to find out that a fragrance that is part of this creepy idea uses the lovely term “amuse bouche,” which, besides being a something beautiful that a chef creates, was the name of my last series of art pieces. Simply awful! I was going to continue in my own series, but I’m afraid I’ll now have to find a new name!!

    In an episode from last season, Hannibal tells one of his dinner guests that she is wearing JAR perfume.

    Too cool….I’m ready for a fragrance change on the crazy fragrance spectrum. Curious to see as too Where? and How far? they take the Lector line. The sky is the limit now a days.
