Julian Casablancas and Five Smelly Musicians Who Don't Deserve Their Own Perfume

Julian Casablancas ... He smells like Haitian grass.

​What do you get when you blend Italian tangerine, perennial Haitian grass, bits of vanilla and tonka beans, some licorice, and a whiff of violet? The masculine scent of indie rock...

The Strokes' Julian Casablancas is the new face of Decibel, a French eau de toilette by Azzaro that combines "rebelliousness and unrestrained creativity" in a 100ml microphone-shaped bottle, according to the company's website. And best of all, they've got a line of Decibel bath products.

Finally, a scent that captures the aromatic ironies of hipsterdom.

Azzaro's banking on Casablancas' stylish personal brand to sell an exotic fragrance. After all, he's a better choice than say, Andrew W.K.



But while incredibly talented, he doesn't strike us as the fresh-scent type. In fact, there are several musicians we don't ever want to see -- or smell -- endorsing cologne, especially if their scent reflects their brand.

​5. Tyler, the Creator
He's talked openly about his bacon addiction, and has probably been bathing in it ever since Nardwuar interviewed him at SXSW. Can you imagine bacon as a fragrance?

​4. Ke$ha
Yeah, she's pretty hot, but she's a dirty girl. Remember that picture of some dude's love juice splattered over Ke$ha's body (NSFW)? We know sex sells, but it also smells sometimes.
