Eau de DNA

Burglars and other crims should probably stick to Lynx.

If you're looking for a unique present for your lady companion, you could do weirder than this. You can already get bio-microemulsfied face goop with marine DNA in it (probably best not to enquire further as to the exact source), and there's a perfume of 1993 vintage called DNA (clove, oakmoss, vanilla, amber and lovelt florals, apparently) - but you can now get perfume made with your very own DNA.

My DNA Fragrance offer you the chance to create your own signature fragrance - 'Why smell like everyone else?' they quite reasonably ask.

You obtain a DNA swab kit from them, send it back loaded with nucleotides, and they'll synthesise your biological code into 4oz of perfume or cologne to make your signature scent.

Yes, put the romance back in your relationship by attempting to swab the inside of your girlfriend's cheek as she snoozes, gob agape, on the sofa in front of an old episode of The Mighty Boosh.

Your personal whiff is sent to you within 7-10 days and your DNA code is helpfully and not at all worryingly kept on file for future orders, or for when the FBI finally track you down for that nasty business in Phuket. For less than £100 all in you too can be 'Not self-centred but self-scented'. Awesome.
