A new product, currently in development, promises to make smelling like B.O. a GOOD thing.
Working with our natural metabolism, synthetic biologist, Sheref Mansy says "Swallowable Parfum" will use our skin as an atomiser, releasing fragrant molecules with our own perspiration. Like a “biologically enhanced second skin synthesized directly from the natural processes of the body,” she explains.
Okay, I know what you’re all thinking –
this thing is going to go gangbusters! Who WOULDN’T rather swallow their perfume than go through the time and effort to actually spray it on?!
....But, oh no! Won’t I just smell like everyone else then? ;)
Not to fear.
As we are all genetically unique, the creators say "Swalloable Parfum"will create a slightly different scent for us all.
If you’re counting the days till you can finally swallow your perfume, you may also be interested in two other pills currently in production: an ingestible SPF pill to replace suncreen and a tablet designed by L’Oreal to counteract gray hair!
(Yep, there really WILL be a pill for everything.)

A pill for everything! It just doesn't seem like it could possibly be healthy.

I agree Erin. I mean sweating is a natural thing our bodies do to release heat and turning the smell of our sweat into a different smell...well...it doesn't seem like chemically that would be a good thing for our bodies. But then again, is spraying a perfume full of chemicals on us a good thing either? My question would be what's the one with the least harm to our bodies? Possibly the one that's topical and not internal.

Good point, Bri!
I guess it really depends on the perfume and what the pill actually contains. Most commercial perfumes are full of nasty chemicals - my favorite "Pink" by Victoria's Secret included. :/
And there are food that can give us a scent - garlic as an example. I don't know of any foods that we could eat and smell good from, but I suppose it's possible that there are natural substances I don't know about that could do it in a pill form.
Really though, I think if you want a scent, is too choose a naturally good one. Essential oils are a great option. They make you smell good and many have unique aroma-therapeutic properties.

I wonder what the side effect would be.

Yeah, it said it would mix differently with each person's own natural scent - what if something went terribly wrong and you ended up smelling like skunk?

Oh no, that would be terrible! You never know though since everyone's chemical makeup is different. Someone could end up smelling like that!
