The Tom of Finland foundation has commissioned Etat Libre d'Orange to create a Tom of Finland fragrance which is ready to be launced soon and the creator promises that the fragrance "does not disturb the odor of men".

The Scented Salamander reports that the fragrance was composed by Antoine Lie who says it smells like "a guy coming out of a shower. He's clean, but not fragranced. And he puts on leather pants."

There is also an outdoorsy aspect to the scent and themes of "metal, leather, sensuality, beauty and radiance" inspired by Tom of Finland's drawings.

Thinking about buying the musky smell? Well, make sure to bring your ID as perfume buyers will be carded due to a suggestive sketch that is part of the outer packaging.

The 50-ml. eau de parfum spray is to retail in Europe for 75 euros, or $110 at current exchange. The scent will be launched in the Paris-based Etat Libre d'Orange store, online at etatlibredorange.com and exclusively in the U.K.'s Harvey Nichols at the end of next month. It then will be rolled out in June exclusively in Canada at Holt Renfrew and in the U.S., among other countries.
