The next time you visit Disneyland, pay attention as you walk down Main Street past the candy shops. You'll notice vents pumping out the smells from within, giving you a whiff of fudge and other delicious delights. It's a simple marketing technique, and for Patrick McCarthy, a vice president of sales at Microsoft, there's a certain magic in the smell of money, too.
Prior to now, McCarthy has never dabbled in fragrances, so what prompted him to create His Money Colgne for men and Her Money Eau de Parfum for women, both of which are supposed to smell like money?
"I really feel that people wear this will feel more confident," McCarthy told AOL News. "I got th idea after reading a story about a Japanese study that showed a significant increase in worker productivity when the smell of money was pumped through vents into factories."
Though McCarthy's new to the world of fragrances, he isn't going at it alone. He employed the help of Larry Murrison, who created a Michael Jordan fragrance and one for Johnny Carson. As AOL News tell it, Murrison reverse engineered the smell of real money and turned it into a solvent.
"Then we added the right mixture of oils and to make it work for men and for women," McCarthy explains.
Both scents are available now for around $35 online.
