Itās no joke. Tomorrow the fine folk of Frito-Lay will be taking to the streets of L.A. and New York City to promote Cheeteau, the official fragrance of Cheetos. They sent me a bottle in advance, andā¦ oh god, itās leaking. *coughs* EVERYTHING SMELLS LIKE CHEETOS.
You may have seen the video ad for this stuff floating around. If not, check it out while I Febreeze my entire apartment.

Note the April 1 release date. This lead many people to believe this was nothing more than a prank. It sure is, but that doesnāt mean Frito-Lay hasnāt cooked up an actual batch of this evil substance to share with fans of crunchy orange powder-covered snacks.
I received the 90ml bottle of Cheeteau (cute) this afternoon, ate the bag of Cheetos that came with the package (for comparisonās sake), and then sprayed some on my wrist. My god.
It smells like the bottom of a bag of cheesy microwave popcorn, or a movie theater concessions stand after the nacho station exploded. There is a sweetness to it, which brings to mind Japanās Mountain Dew Cheetos, which is something Iād rather not have brought to mind.

I was not kidding about the bottle leaking. My office smells like Chester Cheetahās athletic cup.
āMy fans are always telling me they love it when Cheetos dust lingers on their lips and fingers, keeping the deliciously cheesy scent around a little longer,ā said Chester Cheetah, official spokes-cheetah of the Cheetos brand via official press release. āSo this spring, Iāve decided to bottle the iconic aroma so that the pleasure of Cheetos is never farther than a spray away.ā
I do not trust a male cat talking about spraying.
Now I am no perfume or cologne expert ā my favorite scent is still Joop ā but I feel confident in saying no one should smell like this on purpose.
Of course your body chemistry is different than mine, so who knows? Maybe this is your jam. If youāre in L.A. or NYC tomorrow, you can find out. Hereās the details:
