Is McDonald\u2019s really selling French fry perfume? Viral promotion explained McDonald’s JapanThe prospect of smelling like a deep fryer was enough to get anyone who\u2019s never worked in fast food excited. So, is McDonald\u2019s actually selling french fry perfume? Say what you will about McDonald\u2019s, they know what the people want. Whether that\u2019s new and improved food or a Hello Kitty X Yu Gi Oh collaboration. Seriously, we desperately need Blue Eyes, White Kitty. McDonald\u2019s Japan has a particularly solid grasp on how to market to people with its wholesome anime adverts achieving global appeal. They proved that yet again with a recent promotion involving special fragrances themed around iconic flavors. McDonald\u2019s Japan stunned the world with a post on X that shows an elaborately packaged perfume based on the fast-food giant\u2019s delicious fries. But is McDonald\u2019s really selling French fry-scented perfume? McDonald\u2019s Japan explains French fries Perfume promotion The initial post to McDonald\u2019s Japan\u2019s X account showed off three perfumes with distinct scents. These odors were plum nori seaweed salt, garlic black pepper mayo seasoning, and the iconic French fry smell. At first, many people believed that this meant McDonald\u2019s was actually releasing a line of fast food fragrances. It\u2019s understandable too, if KFC and a cryptocurrency can have their own perfumes, why can\u2019t McDonald\u2019s? Unfortunately, the allure of smelling like a salty French fry still eludes us. A spokesperson from McDonald\u2019s Japan has revealed that french fry perfume is only a marketing ploy to advertise new flavors. \u201cThe image was posted as part of a promotion for the limited-time flavored fries product, and we would like people to enjoy the scent of fries and flavors. This perfume is not actually manufactured or sold,\u201d the spokesperson explained in an email to Food & Wine. That\u2019s not to say we\u2019ll never be able to spritz ourselves with the delectable aroma of the world\u2019s favorite salty treat. The interest shown in a french fry perfume may be enough to convince McDonald\u2019s to release the fragrance publicly.
