Resident Evil Perfumes Officially Released by Capcom

In one of the most bizarre announcements so far, Capcom has started selling three different perfumes based on characters from the franchise: Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, and Chris Redfield. The scents can be found on the Japanese version of the Capcom Store, but there has been no announcement about a local release. That means fans in North America probably won't have a way to acquire the perfumes unless they can find a website offering imports.

Thanks mods for the title change

I'm disappointed decaying flesh and Claire's vagoo after going through the sewer aren't scents. This is one discerning customer you WON'T have, Capcom.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Where's my Albert Wesker cologne?

 

[KielCasto]

But, whenever I see Chris, he doesn't look like that he smells good. But I am curious if they are good.

 

[Impotaku]

Umm where the fuck is hunk or tofu's scent?? What about tyrant too??

With it been Japan i'm surprised Sherry didn't get one as well, the scent of innocence by capcom.

 

[CuNi]

Now I'm honestly curious how these smell.. God damn it...

 

[Northeastmonk]

Japan has all the cool stuff. Capcom and Square-Enix cafes and memorabilia stores. They put our cheap limited edition overpriced stuff to shame. I did look into ZenMarket. Apparently they can purchase items from Japanese websites for you. I ended up just using Play-Asia, but they don’t have everything. I realize it’s not something that will sell a ton of, but it would be cool to have a chance at purchasing it. Cloud and Sephiroth had their own line of cologne/perfume. It makes me think that there are more hardcore fans in Japan because the west doesn’t see any of this. Yet, the sales in the west are apparently larger? What’s up with that?

 

[Cravis]

Huge missed opportunity Capcom. All you had to put on the bottle was:

Itchy.
Tasty.

I'd bought it.

 

[lh032]

Where is the T virus perfume.

 

[zeorhymer]

I would have thought Ada Wong would be on one of them. I'd be stoked if it brings the zombies to the yard.

 

[nush]

No Ada Pong?

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Smells like Jill Sandwich!

 

[Shmunter]

Smell like a zombies ass

 

[kingfey]

Happy perfume from this guy.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

The smell of death, no thanks. I use Dior.

 

[Von Hugh]

No Ada Pong?

Freudian slip?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

'Hope this isnt Chris'... scent'

 

[Shubh_C63]

Now I can finally know what Jill smells like.

 

[carlosrox]

But what does RE7 Chris smell like?

 

[gamer82]

res 8 Chris needs something hot n spicy with a musky scent woof woof lol

 

[deriks]

RE5 Chris?!

Dude...

 

[OrionNebula]

RE5 Chris?!

Dude...

His best-smelling years, don’t let it fool you

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Now I can finally know what Jill smells like.

A sandwich.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

$6? Nope. $16? Nope. $46? Nope.

6,380 Yen = about $60 US.

Dont forget to tell your friends you're wearing Capcom Resident Evil perfume for $60.

 

[Camreezie]

Im good, I smelt a resident evil 2 candle they were selling a couple years ago and was almost sick if they were going for decaying flesh that would be fine

 

[Impotaku]

Smells like Jill Sandwich!

After running around doing all that badass stuff it's probably a tuna melt by the end of the day lol.

 

[Neff]

Not the first time they've done this

Still, I'm curious to see what they're like.

 

[bender]

There is nothing I enjoy more than smelling like a Jill sandwhich.

 

[I'm nobody]

Could of used a better bottle rather some stickers

Probably just simpler to deal with Japan. You have access to millions of folks in a small area, you can easily create shops or cafes in the Tokyo-ish area since it is local, and easily get fans to come and visit.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil franchise, and while the series has changed a lot over the years, some elements have remained a staple of the games. Take, for instance, the red and green herbs that players come across. These healing items debuted in the first Resident Evil, and they've become a pretty iconic element of the series. It makes a bit of sense then, that Resident Evil fans can now purchase these herbs for themselves through Capcom's online store in Japan. Capcom's offerings are actually bath salts, but they look a lot like the crushed-up herbs from the games!

 

[baphomet]

the smell of permanent virgin

 

[Velius]

What about Mr. X???

 

[nkarafo]

I don't get it. Somehow Capcom ended up with gallons of unsold perfumes stock and they want to get rid of it?

 

[olimpia84]

Too bad these are not sold in NA

 

[baphomet]

Too bad these are not sold in NA

Or you could just buy some cologne that wouldn't make you look like an ultra dork sitting in your cabinet.

But if you do need some cologne to let everyone smell how much of a nerd you are, you can get Davidoff Cool Water with Ryu or Chun-Li on the bottle

I'm just giving you a hard time, but there are much better colognes to buy than these.

 

[ethomaz]

So Capcom just started to sell weed?

 

[mindfreak191]

I mean, for that price you can already get into some high quality perfumes by well known brands....But, I'm not gonna lie, I did once buy a "video game character based perfume" but it was from Etsy and it was way cheaper than this, and to be honest it smelled really good lol

 

[Cutty Flam]

Made with real bits of Novistador

 

[Ian Henry]

I'm disappointed decaying flesh and Claire's vagoo after going through the sewer aren't scents. This is one discerning customer you WON'T have, Capcom.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I'm just the only one to say what we're *all* curious about.
