what is a perfume hoax?

The perfume hoax is about a man that is walking around trying to sell you perfume so he gets you to smell it. It is really some chemical that makes you pass out and he does whatever with you or your car after you are unconscious. I don't remember many of the details other than the fact that it is a hoax to scare people. Sorry I couldn't help much more.

The "Paul is Dead" hoax was actually started in about 1961 by a photo.  The Beatles kept refering to the on-going joke throughout some of their lyrics.

sorry, i don't know, but that is funny. \n\nEdit: found it! Come here, my dear, good, beautiful doggie, and smell this excellent perfume which comes from the best perfumer of Paris. \n\nAnd the dog, wagging his tail, which, I believe, is that poor creature's way of laughing and smiling, came up and put his curious nose on the uncorked bottle. Then suddenly, he backed away in terror, barking at me reproachfully. \n\n"Ah miserable dog, if I had offered you a package of excrement you would have sniffed at it with delight and perhaps gobbled it up. In this you resemble the public, which should never be offered delicate perfumes that infuriate them, but only carefully selected garbage." \n\n- Charles Baudelaire

Perfume - Patrick Süskind \nBegins with the birth of a child, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, in 19th century paris that is born with no personal odor, making him appear different to others. However, he has a very strong scent to others and can smell everything for miles. He grows up to apprentice in a perfume shop and becomes obsessed with procuring the perfect scent that will make him fully human. In the process, he creates perfumes that manipulate human emotions, murdering 25 girls to take their scent. \n\nIts my personal favorite book, and they are making a film adaptation that should be out this year. Since the book is based on human senses, the author brings alot of detail to every setting in the book, making you want to read it more.

A stink bomb or stinkbomb is a device designed to create an unpleasant smell. They range in effectiveness from simple pranks to military grade chemical agents.\n\nAt one end of the spectrum, relatively harmless stink bombs consist of aluminum sulfide, which smells strongly of rotten eggs. When exposed to air, the aluminum sulfide reacts with moisture, hydrolyzes, and hydrogen sulfide is released. Other popular substances on which to base stink bombs are thiols with lower molecular weight, e.g., methyl mercaptan and ethyl mercaptan — the chemicals that give odor to skunks and are added to natural gas. A variation on this idea is the scent bomb, or perfume bomb, filled with an overpowering "cheap perfume" smell. Prank stink bombs and perfume bombs are usually sold as a 1- or 2- ml sealed glass ampoule, which can be broken by throwing against a hard surface or by crushing under one's shoe sole, thus releasing the odorous liquid contained therein.

Yes, it's a hoax and complete satire.  It's making fun of fundamentalist Christian groups.

Long Story Short : Its a hoax\nThis story has been doing rounds in the net way back 9 years ago, in 1997 when the story was published in Times Of India on 21 February, 1997. You can check the date at http://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.indian/msg/a8da930145866c1d\nI don't have the thumbnails of the OS at present, but when I saw it, I recognized immediately that it was Mandrake, a flavour of Linux, in reality, with the desktop wallpaper changed. \n\nIf the origin of the story is not a hoax, then following is my version : The student had taken Mandrake,  might have made changes in the source code to rename Mandrake with O-Yes and recompiled it. Such custom distros are available freely on net, where you can change the name. Mandrake in those days was certainly better than Windows 95, so here's how the story propogated. But the funny part is the name of the OS itself. Why on earth would he keep a name like that. Even if the first paragraph is believeble, the second paragraph removes any doubt for this mail to be true. This article was again published in Times of India around 2003, twice.\n\nAnother website was set up http://oyes.does.it. When someone ever accessed it, it gave the message "O-YES, You are our latest Bakra. # 945", with the number incrementing. The official site of this OS is http://oyes.thefreebizhost.com/, down for the last 2 years\n\nI can assure you there is going to be another round of such hoaxes. Just 2 days ago, i.e. 4th January 2006, Pratham Kumar, a student from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Gujarat purchased the domain http://ramlalbhagat.com/. I actually ran a WHOIS query to see who owned the domain. He has even kept the page title as 'O Yes'. Contact him at pratham.kumar@gmail.com if you want to ask, when is the next round of hoax mails coming.\n\nHope this gives a detailed info on the hoax. Some other interesting places to study about it include :\n\nhttp://hindustan.net/discus/messages/60/13420.html?1134658861\nhttp://hindustan.net/discus/messages/60/13641.html?1091625286\nhttp://techmount.com/index.php/20041024/o-yes/\nhttp://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.indian/msg/a8da930145866c1d\nhttp://www.mail-archive.com/ilug-cal@ilug-cal.org/msg10070.html\nhttp://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/comments/1450/\nhttp://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:-JSPCMALB5kJ:www.barficulture.com/community/biztech/topic.php/2110/+oyes%2Bthefreebizhost.com&hl=en\nhttp://www.xent.com/FoRK-archive/jan99/0415.html\nhttp://plug.org.in/pipermail/plug-mail/2004-September/013006.html\nhttp://www.vinuthomas.com/printout210.html\nhttp://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:-JSPCMALB5kJ:www.barficulture.com/community/biztech/topic.php/2110/+oyes%2Bthefreebizhost.com&hl=en
