What Amy Winehouse's Perfume Might Smell Like

Amy Winehouse is reportedly after a perfume deal.

Mitch Winehouse, the singer's father, wants to license his daughter's name to a perfume house and has been talking to manufacturers and PR firms for advice, according to Britain's Daily Star tabloid.

"They want [the perfume] to reflect her style with a classic smoky 1950s look and smell," a source told the publication.

"Amy is keen to expand her brand and wants to latch on to the celeb perfumes bandwagon while she can.

"They know her fans love to copy her style, and her trademark fashion and beehive hairdo were last year's must-have look."

When I think Amy Winehouse, I don't think about a "classic smoky 1950s look and smell." I think about what Marilyn Manson said.

Manson recently appeared on BBC's The Graham Norton Show and called sour, fermented herring "Amy Winehouse in a can" when he was asked to describe its scent. He quickly added, "I didn't mean to say that."

Uh huh...

Apparently Manson's not the only one who thinks Winehouse smells bad. An insider told the Daily Star Winehouse will have to work really hard to promote her own perfume if she gets it. Why?

"Frankly, she doesn't look like she smells that nice, so doing some positive publicity to prove it doesn't just smell of stale booze and fags would be vital."

At least a perfume would mask the smell of stale booze and cigarettes?

Here are some things the perfume could possibly smell like:

• Two-day-old crack stuck under a fingernail
• That crazy giant flower that smells like a rotting body
• Burning banana peels
• Vomit after having consumed 48 bottles of Jack Daniel's whiskey
• Childrens' fear-sweat
• McDonalds Happy Meal slurry
• Crusty vomit on a rented dress
• Coke boogers
• Patchouli
• Dead bugs caught in a beehive hairdo
• Stale armpit juice
• A wasted career
• Onions
• Decaying lungs
• Four days of unwashed post-sex crotch
• Tapioca
