Nine Inch Scented Nails
Industrial rock star Trent Reznor is known for many things - his innovative sound, intense personality, and reclusive tendencies. But fragrance aficionado? That's a new one.
Goth king Reznor was spotted two weeks ago at the brand new Scent Bar in Los Angeles. Among his purchases: the entire Comme des Garcons Incense line (a favorite of Tom Ford, hardly a kindred spirit of Trent's), Versace apprentice Dorissima's Narzib, a handful of bath and body products from the hot Australian line Bod, and D.L. and Company's Mandrake candle.

Scent Bar is the retail arm of LuckyScent.com, the Internet's premier destination for rare and exclusive fragrances. Some other famous fans of LuckyScent's most exclusive perfumes and other cult brands include Madonna, Liv Tyler, Jessica Simpson, Meg Ryan, Goldie Hawn and Debra Messing.

It surprises you that he has metrosexual tendencies?

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:44 (twenty years ago)

I don't know which is less newsworthy -- the content of the article, or its inconsistent application of the serial comma.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:44 (twenty years ago)

I mean just because he fucks you like an animal, doesn't mean he has to smell like one.

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:45 (twenty years ago)

You think he was bedecked in leather or showed up in his more casual Price Is Right-wear?

― Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:53 (twenty years ago)

A $100 scented candle ? Why that's like setting money on fire. The KLF would be proud

― blunt (blunt), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:54 (twenty years ago)

Trent Reznor is so edgy.

― Stephen C (ihope), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:56 (twenty years ago)

I knew you'd all love this

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:57 (twenty years ago)

"mmm...Narzib"

― Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:58 (twenty years ago)

i always thought he looked a bit stinky

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Thursday, 12 January 2006 23:59 (twenty years ago)

he needs to have some heavy duty scents to cover up his stink after a show. have you seen how sweaty that man gets by the end of a concert? he most likely smells like straight dirty asshole

So is there going to be a Goth Lush soon.. in the same way that Hot Topic is basically The Goth Gap?

Fine scents for the newly dead and the rivet head.

"that wasn't flour he dusted himself down with on those early tours, it was jovan body powder." - my boss

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Friday, 13 January 2006 02:26 (twenty years ago)

It wasn't coke?!

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Friday, 13 January 2006 02:33 (twenty years ago)

IT WAS JOVAN BODY POWDER

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Friday, 13 January 2006 02:33 (twenty years ago)

just because he fucks you like an animal, doesn't mean he has to smell like one.

This may be the greatest advertising slogan ever.

I read this thread title as "Snowballing Trent Reznor". Heal me, someone.

"Hi, I'm Trent Reznor. After a long, hard night of rockin' I get awfully sweaty, and can smell like a rusty Nine Inch Nail. That's why I go to Scent Bar. Scent Bar has almost any product for your scent, body product and fragrance needs. So head there now, and get a free remix of my latsts single.

You think he was bedecked in leather or showed up in his more casual Price Is Right-wear?

Actually, it was one of his less well-known Let's Make a Deal outfits. You will never look at a bee costume or a Little Bo Peep outfit the same again.

― Eppy (Eppy), Friday, 13 January 2006 05:13 (twenty years ago)

Reznor is a true legend with out him we would not have what most people call "extreme music" errrrrrrrr has anybody heard of Marilyn Manson.
You people obvously dont know shit if your taking the piss out of a guy who single handedly made one of the most exciting and original bands.
Sented candles, the dudes like 40 somthing hes just got of like a 15 year coke habit.
hes got to spend his money on somthing now hes kicked his addiction.

Johnny "fucking" cash think about it how many songs did that guy write and his final release a song written by Reznor.

― lewis (lewis), Friday, 13 January 2006 07:30 (twenty years ago)

want some scented candles?

― latebloomer: Let's just say I do for bullshit what Stonehenge did for Rocks (lat, Friday, 13 January 2006 07:35 (twenty years ago)

Tell us more about this Manson fellow. Does he shop at Scent Bar too?

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Friday, 13 January 2006 07:36 (twenty years ago)

Johnny Fucking Cash doesn't need your fancy-pants cologne. He smells like AMERICA.

Trent Reznor was/is basically a savvy businessman. Without him, "goth" in America would have been a flash-in-the-pan affectation of a few anglophilic preppie kids in mid-1980s New York and LA, rather than the default mode of teen rebellion* across the shopping malls of North America.

I hope Hot Topic gave Trent Reznor shares in the company when they started up, because without him, they would not have a business model.

* granted, this is defining "goth" as anything involving black clothes, harsh music and Satanic/morbid Judaeo-Christian death imagery, and not the original Batcave definition of the term. Though it's unlikely that anyone will come up with a pithier term for this phenomenon, so "goth" it will be.

Wow, can I have your crack?

Of course, Trent's got a million readymade names already:

Hurt: the new fragrance from the House of Reznor ...

Goth did exist before Trent Reznor, but it wasn't mainstream back then.
