“The Essence of Repugnant Desire” as it is called by The Boring Co website smells “just like leaning over a candle at the dinner table, but without all the hard work.”
The perfume sells for $100 with taxes and domestic shipping included and will be available in the first quarter of 2023.
At the time of writing, the product was available to buy with international shipping to multiple countries.
The billionaire first teased the cologne late last month. The Boring Company had earlier sold a flamethrower, while Tesla sells a number of novelty items ranging from belt buckles to a whistle.
Musk is a well-known proponent of Dogecoin. The meme coin skyrocketed last week when the billionaire entrepreneur revived his $44 billion deal to take Twitter private, in hopes that it would be integrated into the microblogging platform.
