There are really only two possibilities to explain the existence of Cumming: The Fragrance by actor Alan Cumming. One is that he knows he has an entendre-worthy last name and is doing some sort of extended spoof/performance art piece making fun of celebrity product endorsements. The other is that he is, really, serious. The commercial and marketing for the thing is just serious enough that it makes me wonder.
Check out the commercial here.
He knows he’s kidding. I saw him on the Daily Show talking about it.

I also saw the Daily Show…I actually think he’s right on the line between kidding and serious. He knows it’s funny, and he’s working the funny, but he’s also serious about the product when he’s not breaking down laughing.
Did you look at the list of ‘notes’? It includes peat. It’s hysterical in a lot of ways…

That is entirely too much. I never needed to see him in eyeshadow. I wanted to keep laboring under the delusion he was straight. I’d sure wanna smell something that was the essence of him, though, I think.
But anyway – the subject at hand. What the heck else are you gonna do with such an unfortunate name?
