Title: Star Trek enterprise to market 3 new fragrances

The world of fragrance is about to boldly go where few have ventured before: the Trekosphere.

Hoping to profit from the May 8 release of J.J. Abrams' new Star Trek film, chronicling the beginnings of Capt. James T. Kirk and the USS Enterprise, Maryland-based Genki Wear will release three Star Trek-themed scents on April 24.

John McGonigle, president of Genki, said the two men's colognes and one women's perfume will retail for about $30.

Soon, Trekkies will be able to channel their inner Starfleet commander—or inner William Shatner—with "Tiberius," based on Kirk's character. The scent, which carries the tag line "Boldly Go," is described by Genki Wear as having a "warm vanilla, white musk and sandalwood" base.

Maybe it's for men who want to repel women?

Speaking as a man, I don't wear a fragrance but if I did it would be something that in some way would aid me in attaining a goal of some sort, which is why I don't wear a fragrance.

Pretty sure that's a given.  A man's cologne which advertises the user as someone looking for someone to "boldly go where no man has gone before" is rather unambiguous in it's gheyness.  Now if they came out with a perfume that smells like the space between Troi's boobs....well that would just be inspired.
