I would buy this without shame #helvetica #typography @yvannaharris
Helvetica: The Perfume ("For Those Who Dare To Be The Same") is gag-gift elevated to art @BenReininga
The font abides, man. The font abides. @kingshukdas
I have to admit that this is brilliant in it's simplicity. @Phastraq
Not sure if I'm offended by this or if I'm flattered, but I will always be Helvetica for life. @michaeltown
holy shit, this is why marketing is an art. @thereisnorisk
Some big modernist fans at Whitespace. We say long live Helvetica and all its gorgeous nothingness @whitespace01

Oh. My. God!!! How did I not know about this earlier?!? Is it too late to adjust my wish list? @afternoondlight
Fonts as brands. I love the concept of Helvetica as a fragrance! @whenyagodatweet
beautiful. @franknoca
A great product with so much and so little. Genius branding with a slight comic touch. #buythis @toldyaso_gm
In case you were wondering what Helvetica smells like, the answer is: nothing. Or oranges and burnt toast, if you've suffered a stroke and therefore decided to drop $62 plus shipping on this very elegant gag gift. Jezebel
This will be my vintage pet rock's new BFF on the cosmetic counter of my revivification parlour. @michaelthorner

The faux pas of the font world has finally taken shape as a perfume. #WishList #PaperWeight @MeAndMissJones
I want to buy @HelveticaParfum–but do you have any plans to package with it your tweetstream somehow? I'm serious. WANT. @smc90

Why the Helvetica hate? It's a hell of a lot better font than most "designers" tend to use when they're trying to be "creative". comment by arkay808
This wins the Internet today: RT @Jezebel: Helvetica the perfume is irony distilled @chebutykin
Sorry, Britney, but this font is about to damper your fragrant “fantasy.” Providing the best bottled nothing since Phoebe Buffay started hawking Aquafina, the Oakland, Calif.-based design collective has put out what is sure will be the scent of the (hipster’s) holiday season. PR Daily
If I was a girl this is what I'd smell like... @mattbury
