This new perfume means you can smell like your favourite Friday night drink

You won't believe how much this costs.

Anna O'Rourke

Any takers?

Each to their own and all that, but we’re thinking we’ll give this one a miss.

Just in time for the weekend, a gin and tonic perfume has been released.

Yep – if you’d like your signature scent to remind people of a night on the tiles at Coppers, this one’s for you.

It’s made by perfumers Art de Parfum, who make it sound good enough to drink.

“An ice-cool gin tonic accord, brought alive with grapefruit peel, sweet resinous juniper and a slice of fresh-cut cucumber.”

As well as all that, it has top notes of lemon so it might even count as one of your five-a-day.

If you’re sold on it and want to pick some up, you might want to sit down for what we’re about to tell you.

A 50ml bottle of Gin and Tonic Cologne will set you back €122.06.

For reference, 50ml of Chanel No.5 retails for around €89.00, so this must be some very fancy gin indeed to warrant that eye-watering price tag.
