Elon Musk launched 'Burnt Hair,' his first fragrance to be sold through 'The Boring Co.' This fragrance is marketed as smelling like "The essence of repugnant desire," but the company did not elaborate any further or provide details on the exact scent profile. However, the bottle is showcased on the fragrance's preorder page.
The bottle takes a traditional luxury fragrance design with a large ruby-inspired gemstone on the top acting as the lid and a round, spherical base that extends outward toward the bottom of the bottle. This fragrance can be preordered for $100 USD, or $140 CAD per bottle.
Since the announcement of Burnt Hair by Musk a earlier today, the fragrance has already sold over $1 Million USD in preorders. The fragrance will ship to customers in Q1 of 2023.
