You Too Can Smell Like A WW2 Hero: Smell Like Patton!

Did General George S. Patton smell like blend of lavender, citrus, coconut, cedar, sage, tonka bean, bergamot and lime? And what Pentagon official decided to license the scent in the first place?
Congrats to Military Times who discovered a two-year-old product that none of us had ever heard of, write a really funny article (http://militarytimes.com/blogs/outside-the-wire/2011/08/05/slap-on-some-patton-the-armys-official-cologne/) about Patton (the scent) and have it go viral with a big article in the UK’s Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2023407/Smell-like-Old-Blood-Guts-U-S-Army-launch-cologne-named-Gen-George-Patton.html). If you want to smell like Old Blood & Guts yourself, there’s still a few bottles available on clearance at Amazon***8203;.com (http://www.amazon.com/US-ARMY-Parfumologie-MEN-COLOGNE/dp/B002UPTP3Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312563946&sr=8-1)

Too late, US Army. The Federation's already got you beat with its patented line of celebrity skincare...

Is the Patton still Pending? :D

I always got a kick out of Stars and Stripes cartoonist Bill Mauldins' portrait of Patton when he served under him. Mauldin observed; "I always admired Patton. Oh, sure, the stupid bastard was crazy. He was insane. He thought he was living in the Dark Ages. Soldiers were peasants to him. I didn't like that attitude, but I respected his theories and techniques he used to get his men out of their foxholes."

General George Patton once summoned Mauldin to his office and threatened to "throw his ass in jail" for "spreading dissent," this after one of Mauldin's cartoons made fun of Patton's demand that all soldiers must be clean-shaven at all times, even in combat. But Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander European Theater, told Patton to leave Mauldin alone, because he felt that Mauldin's cartoons gave the soldiers an outlet for their frustrations.

By the way, why should Patton and Kirk get all the glory? Time to give Dugout Doug his due. :cool:

Patton was a bit of an eccentric in that regard.

"No bastard ever won a war by applying cologne on himself. He won it by applying it on the enemy."

"An army is a team. It lives, eat, sleeps, smells as a team. This "Obsession by Calvin Klein" stuff is just bull&^!@."

"It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to use the proper cologne can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duties by correcting musky man odors and enforcing proper BO are incapable of attracting the ladies."

"May God have mercy on my armpits, because I won't."

"Wars may be fought with deodorants, but they are won with antiperspirants."

"A pint of cologne will save a gallon of shampoo."

"Magnificent! Compared to Clive Christian Imperial Majesty for men, all other forms of cologne shrink to insignificance! God help me, I need a book deal to pay for this!"

"Cheap spray-on colognes are monuments to the stupidity of man."

"And when we get to Berlin, I will personally make that paper-hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler FABULOUS!"

[Growler]

Rommel, you magnificent bastard... I used your cologne!

Needs more diesel oil

Ah yes, 'Tommy cooker' I should have remembered ;)

[Anthony W.]

To be honest, if they made a cologne that smelled like a mix of high octane racing fuel, and exhaust gasses, I'd buy it by the gallon.

And probably use it to save money on gas

Let's step outside the square here.
Leave the gasoline and diesel dousing of your cheeks and neck for a minute and think of the touch of masculinity you can attain by applying this:

Don't forget that the Swiss Army Cologne isn't just a cologne. It's also an anti-perspirant, deodorant, aftershave, toner, moisturizer, shampoo, conditioner, acne treatment, depilatory, muscle relaxant, treats erectile dysfunction, and will get rid of those pesky dark circles under your eyes. And open beer bottles. :yeah:

I understand the British Army wanted to put out their own WWII-related cologne as well, but plans for licensing "Market Garden" fell through when their marketing research indicated it would only be worn by old men and boys.

How would I know...I'm just a bairn :stare:

[Anthony W.]

Seriously, where can I buy this stuff?

I'm going to start collecting lol

[Jimbuna]

I've had a bottle of this in my wardrobe for a number of years now but it never manages to reach the front of the aftershave selection somehow :DL

Brut has been around for years Jim. In my neck of the works it is a Rednecks aftershave! My first room mate in college would wear Brut like it was going out of style. It was! :har:

I keep the sole bottle because it was bought for me by the boy....I should imagine he'd be shocked if he found out I still had it :DL
