Gimme a man that smells like Capt. Kirk

He was the sexiest starship captain in the galaxy. Even the triple-wanged alien studs in the Delta Quadrant had nothing on James T. Kirk. He was H-O-T hot, even to a little kid watching Star Trek reruns in the '70s and dreaming of being his girlfriend (even though I wasn't quite sure what he got up to with those green slave girls).

Now all those die-hard fans living in their parents' basements and saving up for the next Con can boldly smell like no Trek geek has smelled before. With a splash of Tiberius, one of three new fragrances paying homage to Star Trek, any Trekkie (or Trekker depending on how anal you are about your sci-fi habit) can smell like a space-age stud. Splash some on, head down to the DQ, and brag to the giggly teenage counter staff, "Yeah, baby, like it? It's Tiberius. As in James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the Starship Enterprise. How 'bout you come over to my place and watch TOS on DVD? Bring a Dilly Bar, doll."

Seriously, I did love Trek and think these fragrances are sort of a fun and funny idea. I'd even buy the ladies' fragrance, Ponn Far (named for the Vulcan mating ritual) if I could find it on clearance for a buck or two (and it would have to be clearance, as these fragrances will set you back $30-$40 and I'm not *that* into the concept). It would be fun to say I had it, but not really worth much of an investment. The third fragrance, btw, is Red Shirt, apparently named for the expendable character that tended to meet an unpleasant end in each episode. I'm not sure who would want to smell like the guy who bites it 10 minutes into the episode; maybe you give that to the boss you don't really like or an annoying step-relative.

On the fence about placing an order? Here's more info on these far-out scents to help you decide.
