We love to make fun of self-important celebrities who cash in with their own signature scents, but we really don't know what to say about this one. According to The Guardian, the Pope is the latest "celeb" to come out with his own fragrance.
However, unlike fragrances by Adam Levine and Justin Bieber, you won't be able to buy this one for yourself. "I would not ever repeat the same perfume for another customer," Italian boutique perfume maker Silvana Casoli, who created the fragrance, told the paper.
According to Cassoli, Pope Benedict XVI ordered a custom-blended eau de cologne that was "based on his love of nature," combining hints of lime tree, verbena and grass. And get this: Casoli has previously created scents for Madonna and Sting. Sounds kind of ... fancy for the 84-year-old Pope, doesn't it? Do you think eau de Pope sounds awesome? Or just plain weird?

I will stick with "Old Spice" which I have been using for the past 60 years, unless the Pope's fragrence guarantees us admission into Heaven!
This is not the first time the vatican has been occupied with pedophiles and debauchery. In the past many popes have been disgusting and filled with perversion and have turned the vatican into a brothel. There is nothing sacred or moral that goes on in the place.
