Just Whose Semen is Lady Gaga’s Fame Perfume Made With?

Hark! Lady Gaga’s commercial for her perfume, Fame, has arrived!

Set in a dystopian alternate reality where (when?) the BP Deepwater Horizon spill was never successfully capped, the video shows the aftermath of the wildly controversial Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards held on the wreckage of the oil rig, and Lady Gaga’s successful military coup of the entire world.

Or something.

And while the video itself is crazy-go-nuts-bizarre, it’s what’s in the perfume itself that has got us scrunching up our faces.

“[Blood and semen] is in the perfume, but it doesn’t smell like it. You just get sort of the after feeling of sex from the semen, and the blood is sort of primal,” she explained. “And the blood was taken from my own blood sample, so it’s like a sense of having me on your skin.”

Oh really? Blood and semen you say? And we’re meant to wear this product on our bodies, are we?

With Gaga is taking ownership of the blood, that really only leaves one question; Whose semen is Lady Gaga’s perfume made with?

1) Thanks, but no thanks, Lady Gaga. I would not like your blood and mystery semen on me.
2) Girl, you’re talented, but your reasoning for this is ridiculous to the point of self-parody.

Why should it be straight-laced? I like that she toys with definition and doesn’t sound so cookie-cutter about the perfume.

Also, anyone who truly believes it has blood and semen is LOL.

It’s not about having to be straight-laced as much as it shouldn’t be pretentious, which is how it appears to me. And as far as the blood and semen are concerned, of course I don’t actually believe them to be ingredients. But I can’t find the appeal of wanting blood and/or semen on me, symbolically or not.

Totally unoriginal. KISS back in the day had their blood drawn and mixed with printers ink for their comic book, and every freakin one else has a scent or clothing line, or sex toys. Who cares geez …

I think she means the smell, guys.

She isn’t actually the first person to put both blood and semen in a fragrance. The fragrance house Etat Libre d’Organge have had a fragrance out for the past few years called “Secretions Magnifiques” which carries the notes of blood, semen, and breast milk. I actually have a sample vile of Secretions Magnifiqes and it is interesting to say the least…

There’s not actual blood or semen in the product. She used the chemical structure of blood and semen. And that interview was nearly a year ago.
