If you like the way the smell of good barbecue lingers on your person after spending all day basting meat on the smoker, then boy do we have the thing for you! Our friends at Pork Barrel BBQ recently debuted the world’s first-ever “barbecue-scented” fragrance. And what did they name it? Well, Que of course. Actually, the full name of the fragrance is Que: A Bouquet of Barbeque Aromas. The smelly goodness is available in 2-ounce bottles that retail for $25. While we’re not sure exactly who would wear Que, it’s a great gift idea for any griller’s stocking or a Father’s Day gift.

We actually got the chance to meet Pork Barrel BBQ founders Heath Hall and Brett Thompson at last year’s American Royal BBQ event. These guys were brave enough to go on the television show Shark Tank and pitch their company idea of selling BBQ sauces. They got an investor and man, they’re killing it!

According to the company, Que is an “intoxicating bouquet of spices, smoke, meat, and sweet summer sweat.”

“With Que, anyone can smell like a summer barbeque and share that experience and the wonderful aromas that come with it,” says Hall.

“Celebrity fragrances like those from P. Diddy, J. Lo, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Justin Bieber have never captured the spirit of America,” says Thompson. “We expect Que will set a new standard for the fragrance and fashion industry throughout the United States and the world. Lady Gaga will no longer have to wear a meat dress to the next big awards ceremony — she can simply wear Que.”

Pork Barrel BBQ worked with a team of craftsmen and fine perfumers to create the perfect barbeque aroma.

This is our favorite comment: “Our new fragrance could be particularly attractive to vegetarians who won’t eat barbeque but still appreciate the aromas of barbeque and for those who might be nostalgic for the days when meat was still a part of their diet,” Hall said. Now that’s brilliant.

To promote the new product, Pork Barrel BBQ has launched a series of commercials for Que. Viewers can vote for their favorite atwww.PorkBarrelBBQ.com/que.
