Probably not, but politicians in Israel are doing their best to link perfumes to policy, with the launch of a tongue-in-cheek advertisement for a new scent controversially called "Fascism".
The country's Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked appears in the bizarre TV commercial, which shows her preparing for a night out while sultrily whispering her policies such as judicial reform, restricting activism and the separation of powers.
The ad concludes with her picking up a bottle of "Fascism" (pictured), and as she holds it she temptingly croons "To me, it smells like democracy".

An EXTREME "alternative medicine" practitioner in China has almost killed herself after injecting fruit juice directly into her bloodstream.
The 51-year-old woman simply called Zeng reportedly created a home-made intravenous drip which she used to admininister the juice of 20 different fruits.

Reports say the case prompted the hashtag #OldWomanPutsJuiceIntoVeins.
