Serb, the men’s cologne

In the midst of the Bosnian War, two Serbian designers came out with "Serb" the cologne. I can't think of any other cologne inspired by a war.

Robert Duvall's character did not say it smells of death. He did say "It smells like....victory"
Jeez - get your quotes right, especially if you're a journalist.

Two artists topped that fairly recently by combining the scents of blood, thunder, earth, and burning flesh to create "Apocalypse." https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/perfume-smells-apocalypse-180958728/

I think they should have included horse manure (as a nod to the Four Horsemen).
