If you’re still looking for a Christmas present for the man in your life, the answer might come from an unlikely source – Captain Birds Eye.
Yes, the face of the fish finger has branched out into cologne.
Don’t worry, the signature scent doesn’t smell like those freezer favourites – instead, it’s described as an ‘aromatic scent is reminiscent of a fresh ocean breeze, bursting with top notes of zingy grapefruit, sweet mandarin, and intoxicating patchouli’.
Apparently it’s inspired by ‘the hypnotic and evocative power of the high seas’ so perfect for the pirate or sailor in your life.
The Eau de Toilette comes in a 50ml glass bottle with nods to the nautical. It’s called AHOY! after the seafaring term used to greet someone or draw attention to something in the distance.
It’s not the first time the Captain has been involved in a gift range – last year, Riccardo Acerbi, the 56-year-old Italian-born actor who plays he in the latest ads, posed for 12 different shots for his own calendar.
Annalisa Fanali, Birds Eye spokesperson, said: ‘We know the British public have a soft spot for our Captain; in fact, you could even argue that he reached celebrity status after the unprecedented response to his debut calendar last year.
‘So this Christmas, we wanted to treat fans to something special from our iconic Captain, by creating his own signature scent – after all, who doesn’t love the fresh aroma of the ocean?’
Riccardo was cast as the Captain in January 2018 and he soon caught the public’s attention for his ‘rugged’ and ‘modern’ looks.
The only catch is that the Eau de Toilette isn’t on general sale. Instead, fans can win one of 50 limited edition bottles via the Birds Eye Facebook page from 4 December.
