French fry fans now have a fragrance to call their very own. To celebrate Idaho Potato Lovers Month, the Idaho Potato Commission is now selling a perfume made from Idaho potatoes. The state agency — responsible for promoting the state’s signature crop — started developing the perfume after a survey revealed that 90 percent of people love the smell of French fries.
… Named Frites by Idaho, the perfume is gold in color, comes in a clear bottle and was formulated from essential oils and distilled Idaho potatoes. (Frites are French fries. Frites is the French word for French fries.) The fragrance is described as embodying the irresistible essence of potatoes from Idaho, and cost about the same price as a large order of fries.
