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.

For those living like the next workday could be their last, there’s “Red Shirt.” This cologne, with the tag line “Because tomorrow may never come,” is in honor of the unnamed Enterprise officers who don’t typically survive past the TV show’s first scene.

#2 Joe,
That’s because kids can’t spell these days.
After a few beers I’m sure she will look a lot better…
Just because they didn’t show the actual sex act on TV doesn’t mean James T Kirk wasn’t porking Yoeman Janice Rand. Of course he was.
“No Worf scent? You know, peaty, with a hint of lilac.”
That’s pretty funny!
Next, the smell of lonely desperation.
I am serious about the gamers at science fiction conventions. Need some sort of broadcast applicator. At conventions, I avoid the room with the D and D players because (a.) I don’t like Dungeons and Dragons and b.) The gamers smell bad.)
Just saying
