INILABAS na ang deodorant na ikaw ay mag-aamoy Viking sa “unusual bid” para makahikayat ng mga turista sa York.
Ang Norse Power ay kinomisyon ng Visit York agency upang makapagbi-gay ng ideya sa modernong kalalakihan sa aromas na mabubuo sa ilang araw na pananatili sa barko, habang may hawak na espada, at may mahabang balbas.
Sinasabing ang “mead, gore, sweat, animal meat, seawater and smoke” ang tipikal na amoy ng 10th century warrior.
Ang body spray ay bi-nuo ng team ng scent scientists sa konsultasyon ng mga eksperto mula sa Jorvik Viking Centre na nagdiwang ng kanilang 30th anniversary ngayong taon.
Sinabi ni Visit York marketing manager Michelle Brown: “Historical research indicates that the Vikings were quite particular about personal hygiene, especially when compared to the Anglo Saxons.
“But even so, this only meant washing once a week, which by today’s standards isn’t exactly the height of cleanliness!
“And for a Viking raider, who’d travelled hundreds of miles over land and sea, and spent their days fighting bloody skirmishes, it’s fair to say they wouldn’t always have carried the most alluring aromas around with them.” (ORANGE QUIRKY NEWS)
