Google Nose

I'm ecstatic to announce a revolution in web technology! "Photo-auditory-olfactory sensory convergence is a phenomenon that's been promised in science fiction for decades." says Engineering Lead Doug Smith. Boy is he right! Google Nose will revolutionize the perfume world. Sampling, buying, and marketing perfumes will never be the same (nor will pirating, knockoffs, and copycat-scent uniformity, I bet!) Be sure to click the link for Google Nose beta, list in the comments which random sample they gave you, they're different every time!
Let the nice people at Google tell it themselves:

SO I MADE ALL YOUR CLOTHES AND HAIR AND PURSE AND COAT AND HAT AND GLOVES AND CAR AND HOUSE SMELL REALLY REALLY GOOD LIKE US, RIGHT FLORA? Yes.. quite.
Classic scent combo of florals, amber, and ambergris. This is a reformulation of the classic Miss Dior. Sadly, I don't have a vintage sample to compare it against. Pretty, sweet, and a marked animalic flavor. Sophisticated, excellently engineered, and ...assertive. Wear the parfum strength only in case of life or death situations, national emergency, or attending the board meeting from Hell. May have some effectiveness against charging rhinos as well. I'm sorry, I have to stop typing and scrub this off. I can't see the keyboard, my eyes are watering up too much.I can taste it when I breathe thru my mouth.
Sampled at my local Sephora, which had it in stock for $90 (if you dare).
