When it comes to getting ready for a date night with your someone special, adding a hint of perfume can make a big difference, and these wonderfully nerdy fragrances are perfect for those who are inclined to be a little bit quirky with their cosmetics.
While over-the-counter fragrances are often featured in sleek and sexy bottles with fruity or floral scents, these nerdy perfumes rather feature references to pop culture icons and scents that you wouldn't normally associate with perfumes. From fragrances that reference zombies from the infamous Walking Dead series to those that are named after specific Star Trek characters, these nerdy scents are perfect for anyone looking to showcase their Sci-Fi loving personality through their cosmetics.
