Goldwater Fragrance
How many presidents and presidential candidates have had fragrances named after them? There was Donald: The Fragrance, which we've posted about before.
And back in 1963, Vi-Jon Laboratories of St. Louis, Missouri released "Gold Water: A Cologne for Americans" — named after Arizona senator Barry Goldwater.
The company also said it would be releasing "JFK — A Family Cologne." But I haven't been able to find any evidence that it actually did.
It's not quite the same as a cologne, but as we've also previously posted about, JD and Kate Industries released a whole series of politician-scented candles including Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Obama, Justin Trudeau, and Joe Biden scents.

I have a souvenir from the 1964 election that my father gave me: a can of Gold Water ginger ale. "The right drink for the conservative taste." So they got a lot of mileage out of the "Gold Water" idea.

@Bill: probably tasted better than Goldschläger, anyway.
