Of all the bizarre things associated with Michael Jackson and his death, this has got to be one of the strangest.   A company called My DNA Fragrance creates custom perfumes using people’s genetic profiles.  They have teamed up with a celebrity hair collector named John Reznikoff to design a line of celebrity-based scents – including M, which was engineered from DNA supposedly extracted from Jackson’s hair.

The company says:

“DNA can be extracted from hair shafts with or without the follicle intact. My DNA Fragrance has analysed Reznikoff’s private collection of celebrity hair and is now engineering exclusive fragrances of each celebrity.  We use the genetic code to formulate the fragrance. If you are putting on MJ’s perfume it’s a unique fragrance to him.”

So what does M smell like?

M is an exclusive one-of-a-kind fragrance that explodes into an indescribable fragrance, which seemly draws the attention of every person in the room. It is composed of the lightest, but most volatile essences. Much like the performer himself, this cologne is unique and like no other cologne in the world. We guarantee it.

Creepy.  That is just totally creepy.  First of all, who collects celebrity HAIR?  Second of all, who gives pieces of it away to make perfume out of it?  And third of all, who makes perfume out of hair samples?   Oh, and if you don’t like the smell of M, you can always buy something else from the Antiquity line, like the perfume of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Katharine Hepburn, or Joan Crawford.

And we thought the Burger King scent was weird…
