(PNS reporting from HAVANA) Hey, kids! Now you can smell like dead Commies Che Guevara and/or Hugo Chavez with these two new scents from Cuba’s Labiofarm labs. (That’s “labio” not “labia,” you freaks.)
The just-announced perfume products could be a big source of hard currency for Venezuela‘s flagging economy, which Chavez poisoned and current Commandante Maduro is now kicking in the cojones.
The Hugo Chavez deal, insiders told PNS, was inspired by the Cuban regime’s multi-million-dollar revenue stream from the Che image licensing deal Comarade Fidel made with Nike (photo.)
“Che’s smell is composed from woody and citric notes, while the cologne of Chavez contains hints of mango. The perfumers consulted with the families of the departed revolutionaries while developing the perfume,” according to RUPTLY.

A scientific institute called Labiofarm showed off two new perfumes at an exposition in Havana Saturday. The institute had been working in collaboration with a French perfumer for 18 months to create two special scents named after the revolutionary leaders Ernesto Che Guevara and Hugo Chavez.
