15 Minutes of Fame: Smells like gamer spirit
From Hollywood celebrities to the guy next door, millions of people have made World of Warcraft a part of their lives. How do you play WoW? We're giving each approach its own 15 Minutes of Fame. How does the well-groomed Worgen smell when he's brushed up for a hot date? No, no, not wet dog -- his choice would be more reminiscent of a "foresty musk, totally feral." And the fashionable Forsaken? Good heavens, not moist earth or moldering flesh! The scent of choice is "Supergoth Gloom & Doom," of course. WoW Insider brings you these points of fact courtesy of none other than Brian Constantine, co-owner and CEO of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, purveyors of handcrafted fragrance blends featuring what the company website calls a "dark, romantic Gothic tone" -- and what Brian calls "awesome weirdness." By now, loyal readers that you are, you must have guessed that the creator of BPAL's renowned scents for gamers must also be a fan of Azeroth. Why yes, he is ... and he'll be at the WoW Insider Reader Meetup this very evening with samples and giveaways for a few lucky readers. But first, click past the break for more on the Goth and gaming inspiration behind BPAL's sizzling hot products ... plus a whiff of which BPAL blends Brian thinks our Alliance and Horde compatriots would dab behind their furry, floppy or fantastic ears.
