Two years after a viral video showed Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis drinking coffee with mayonnaise, Hellmann’s Mayonnaise has released a fragrance inspired by that moment. The new scent, called Will Levis No. 8, Parfum de Mayonnaise, was officially announced by Hellmann’s, who have confirmed its authenticity despite some initial skepticism from fans.
The fragrance features a distinctive blend of notes, starting with a creamy mayonnaise accord that provides a smooth and daring heart. Additional elements include parsley for a fresh, herbal aroma, subtle coffee undertones reminiscent of Levis’ unusual coffee concoction, and a sensual musk base. The scent concludes with a creamy vanilla finish, designed to be both inviting and intriguing.
With a price of just $8 for a 30 ml bottle, the fragrance offers a cost-effective alternative to high-end perfumes from brands like Tom Ford or Dior. This affordability has led to a rapid sell-out on Hellmann’s website, demonstrating strong interest from consumers eager to try this unique scent.
The origin of the fragrance stems from a 2022 incident where Levis, while at Kentucky, famously drank coffee with mayonnaise. Although he later revealed that this was more of a joke than a regular habit, the incident led to a sponsorship deal with Hellmann’s, which now includes a lifetime supply of their products for him.
As Levis gears up for his first full season as the Titans’ starting quarterback, his performance will be under close scrutiny. Following a promising rookie season, the addition of this distinctive fragrance might add a playful element to his preparation, particularly given the anticipated challenges from the Titans’ offensive line.
