Here’s a new one: Star Trek cologne. Called Red Shirt, it carries the tagline “Because tomorrow may never come.” I guess if you’re gonna die out in deep space, you might as well smell terrific.
Provided you think “terrific” smells like the following (according to ThinkGeek):
Bright, clean and direct with top notes of green mandarin, bergamot and a hint of lavender (your hope), finishing with base notes of leather and grey musk (your smoldering shoes after you’ve been vaporized).
The cologne costs $30 for a 100ml bottle, which actually isn’t too outrageous by cologne standards. Perhaps someone will make a designer imposters version for less someday, though. “Is that Star Trek you’re wearing?”

Hah! Why not? $30 is a reasonable price for cologne and it might just be the perfect smell to attract a female geek ;)
I don’t know about this one. Does it imply that the wearer is sure to die upon exiting his vehicle?
I’m waiting for someone to be the face of that that box. If it has a geeky, spaceship kind of smell, count me in. I want something different. $30 isn’t so bad either. Once the advertisers get a face on the product, expect a price hike. http://ziggytek.com/
Oddly enough, I am wearing a red shirt today. That means I should hide under my desk.
What does the box say about tomorrow? I’m missing a word. Could it be “happen?” “Because tomorrow may never happen?”
The stuff is probably made from some boofolian plague. It’ll probably eat your flesh off – at least, it should. I’ll definitely be picking this up.
I think it’s made from the blood of Tribbles.
I was thinking “wtf?” when I read the name, but it does make some sort of morbid sense with the tag line of “Because tomorrow may never come.”
But what is that design on the bottle itself? It looks like glass shattering from a bullet hole by a Federation symbol (which would be a decent shot based on where it is on the uniform). If so, that might be taking the joke a biiiiit to far. (Besides, phasers don’t leave bullet holes!)
I actually bought some of this stuff as a gift for my boyfriend at Comic-Con. It actually smells pretty great, and the long descriptions of all of the company’s Star Trek-themed perfumes (“Pon Far: Because having is not always so pleasing a thing as wanting”) and colognes (“Tiburius: Difficult to define and impossible to refuse. In any universe.) are hilarious. I kind of wish more franchises would allow silly products this cleverly done into the marketplace.
It says “Tomorrow may never come” because all the guys that wore red shirts always died in the shows
I’ll mary any guy who wear this!!!
Does this work on Klingon chicks? If so beam me up a bottle so I won’t stink after hand to hand combat with cheesy green lizard men
a green cologne that smells like Vulcan blood would rock also… wonder if there are any Star Wars colognes that would “force” women to chase you lol
I’ll stick with my U.N.C.L.E. cologne…….”Never go Solo again”
Well I don’t want to smell like a 30 year old sci fi series.
“You won’t need your phaser on ’stun.’ She’ll stop in her tracks when you wear “Red Shirt.”
Damn it Jim…it’s Red Shirt, not Yellow Shirt!
this is simply too awesome. i’m SO buying it for my boyfriend.
I think it smells awesome.
