Coming to a beauty counter near you is this fully licensed 'Star Trek' cologne, but there isn’t just one option, there’s three, including one for the ladies. For men, there are the Tiberius, and Red Shirt--the former being named after the starship captain and the latter being named for the bold clothing that the extras wore.
For the ladies, the 'Star Trek' cologne is named after the Vulcan mating cycle, Pon Farr. All retail for £29.99. I wonder if anyone has considered selling them at comic cons?
