Careful with that deodorant: you could end up with cosmic armpits. A bizarre
fragrance that smells of a meteorite has been developed by perfumers at ICI鈥檚
Quest International division in Ashford, Kent. Called Cyba, the 鈥渇uturistic,
atmospheric鈥� fragrance was developed purely to show that the company can create
just about any 鈥渙ff-the-wall鈥� pong that might be demanded, says spokeswoman
Linda Harman. Les Small, the company鈥檚 senior perfumer, began by analysing the
smell of a chunk of meteorite known as a carbonaceous chondrite, the most common
kind of meteorite. He has created a fragrance variously described as
鈥渟ulphurous, smoky, like gunpowder, metallic鈥�. Don鈥檛 all rush at once.
