UK-based fashion brand Elvis Jesus will launch their debut fragrances, Elvis Jesus for Him and for Her, next month:
Elvis Jesus Fragrances embody the spirit of the Brand...a play with opposites to create products that challenge the norm. Juxtaposing heroes with anti-heroes, rock with religion and fashion with politics – their construction reflects the Brand’s renegade design incorporating couture detailing.
Both fragrances lay hidden in their unique outer ‘book’ packaging – a nod to the origin of the Brand’s namesake. For Her is bound in smooth black with gold, whilst For Him lays in distressed brown with aged pewter, their script documenting the Brand’s history.
Elvis Jesus for Him (above left) ~ " A masculine Earthy Citrus scent that opens with an explosion of Grapefruit, Orange and spicy Pink Pepper that prelude an earthy heart of Black Pepper, Patchouli and Geranium. The lingering masculine notes of Cedar, Vetivert and sensual Woods leave a long lasting, seductive impact."
Elvis Jesus for Her (above right) ~ "A fragrance of contrasts, Elvis Jesus For Her opens with a fresh burst of uplifting Grapefruit, Cherry, Bergamot, Elemi and Peppermint blended with the woody backdrop of Nutmeg that develops into an innately feminine heart of Rose, Jasmine, Muguet and Cinnamon - evocative of a glamorous bygone era. The dry down envelops with a sensuous woody blend of Cedar, Courmarin, Amber, Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Leather. A Woody Floral scent that lingers to give an indelible impression."
Elvis Jesus For Him and For Her will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

Elvis Jesus? Really?
Named for Kinky Friedman’s Elvis, Jesus and Coca Cola.
It is, nonetheless, a brand name that makes you shake your head.
Agree. But assume it also finds its market that way.
Oh, for god’s sake… A) Kinky Friedman does not need the endorsement of British hipsters. 2) That’s just… oy.
but of course. long overdue. elvis IS jesus.
🙂
The women’s actually sounds really appealing. This has the “What are you wearing” problem, though.
“You smell great! What are you wearing?!”
“Elvis Jesus For Her.”
**friend backs away slowly**
EXACTLY.
That is so wrong in so many ways, it’s almost offensive. Not cool.
What about Cher Virgin, or Cher Madonna, or Madonna Madonna, or Madonna Madonna for Him… Goodness!
Juxtaposing a singer high on his own supply who died on the toilet with sacrilege, Elvis Jesus just demonstrated their brand name is the only risk-taking in sight. This could be the FCUK of the 2010s, and their fragrances were usually dull, too.
