The release of perfume rarely hits the front pages, even if Posh Spice or George Clooney are endorsing it.
However, two rather unlikely male models have been posthumously promoting a Cuban perfumery's latest scents to much discontent, and even a ban, in the country.
Whilst many think that these revolutionary symbols are almost divine and that this act is a form of political blasphemy, others have seen the lighter side.
I have to admit that I'm not sure who would be enticed into buying colognes honouring a rather overweight, middle-aged statesman and a guerilla leader who spent 9 months travelling and smelling of motorbikes.
The Che Guevara eau de cologne was woodsy with tangs of refreshing citric odours and talcum powder, whilst the Venezuelan leader's displayed fruitier scents.
All in all a rather bizarre set of creations, blown way out of proportion by the prohibiting of these perfumes and the call from some quarters to prosecute the apparent 'offenders'.
