German perfume-maker Kim Weisswange recently unveiled two new fragrances she says were commissioned by Buckingham Palace for the upcoming royal wedding. Simply called "William" and "Catherine," Weisswange told The London Evening Standard that the scents "underline the [couple's] character and personalities."
The Royal Family, however, says something about the perfumes smell fishy. A Palace source contacted by the Evening Standard turned up their nose at the idea that Prince William and Kate Middleton ordered the fragrances. He told the paper that while Weisswange contacted the family and offered her services, nothing was officially commissioned.

Is this supposed to be news? GIMMEABREAK
2me da hol thing STINKS!!!!
She is obviously just trying to capitalize on a big event to make a name for herself. AND sell perfumes that otherwise wouldnt sell
Can't we all just try to get along? No more CNN bashing, please!
It's like CNN has been taken over by FOX at least I think the writers have gone over to CNN
CNN is a very fine service to the citizens of the world during these history making times. I would be lost without CNN and Wolf Blitzer and also this outstanding web site. Keep up the good work CNN...your comeback plan is working wonders in the news media field/industry!
Rodney, Either you are brilliant at satire... well done! Or, you work for/want to work for CNN. Or, you are on something pretty powerful and I want some now.
People need to calm down. Its just a blog anyway. Even though it may seem frivolous to have news like this in such turbulent times, it is still news. Fox and CNN report on all facets, everything from politics to agriculture with everything in between. Simply dont read articles like this if you consider it silly.
fish sauce as perfume? Next will be durian, king of fruits fit for a king.
Most of the morons on here don't know what a durian is or smells like but I got a good laugh out of it!
There are people in the world (England included) who woke up this morning and had nothing to eat. Who can read such mindless garbage and actually care? The Royals make me sick. I would be massively impressed in these two, William and Kate, announced they were having a private ceremony and donating the THOUSANDS of dollars this stupid wedding wastes to fighting hunger! Or gee, how about to Princess Di's anti-land mine charity?
Right on RLS
Its all about cashing in on the event
Do you all seriously have to talk trash about eachother all the time? This is about cnn news and selfish rich royalty.. Talk about them not some 17 year old with a opinion to the royalty family.
They are doing this for humanity.
This is not to make money.
I think Romney did. McCain was so smug and arrogant! His only asenwrs talked about his military career. Romney made valid points. Huckabee and Ron Paul did fairly well to when they were allowed to talk. Was this answer helpful?
Hey people when someone does something good, rejoyce with them. I think its an honor for the designer, its great to be an initiator. we can all plan to do something for the royal wedding if we can. so hands up to the perfume maker. I can come and cook the chicken the African way if you so wish.
Life is good.
These people are beyond making money off this deal.
These are Great Great people.
The Royal family is beond Selling Out!
Hope their marriage lasts 99 years.
Don't read these articles if you don't care MOrons! And by the way, they are not accepting gifts only donations that will be given to charity...Prince William can't help what he was born into, just be happy for them my God! Together Prince William and Harry have done more for the impoverished than ANY of you HATERS!
Get off the computer and go finish your writing homework. You need the practice.
I agree with the sentiment here, however, it is really not that difficult to write "to" instead of "2". This isn't a text message to your buddies, it is a place to communicate your ideas effectively. Thank you, random teenager, for at least reading the news, I applaud you for that!
Exactly
Well aren't you cool talking trash to this teenager getting all technical and stuff. He didn't say anything bad. All he did was express his point of view and you criticize his typing. And next time you tell someone to "write" properly make sure it actually is writing. Because as far as I know he didn't write this he typed it.
