We’re very pleased to announce that Coldplay have today launched their own exclusive fragrance, Angst by Coldplay.
“This is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time,” said the band’s frontman, Chris Martin. “People like to smell nice and we thought we could help them out.”
[...] The core ingredients of the scent are listed on the Brian Eno-designed bottles as sangre, sudor and lágrimas, all of which have been sourced from Fairtrade suppliers.

Seriously?
No!
As soon as I saw this I figured it was an April Fool’s joke! But then of course even a rock bank could “jump on the bandwagon”!
Lol- nice! My favorite day og the year
Not mine — I’m too gullible!
As am I….I was coming to ask what on earth those notes were supposed to be. LOL!
Right there with ya, Boo! Although I was preparing to mock the fragrance even without knowing what the notes were!
What to say?
me too!!
We can always blame it on the eau-faux-inspired real perfume ads we read so often!
Me too.
OH DO ME A FAVOUR…
OH YEAH…DUH…YOU GOT ME…X
oh well, they have more sense of humour than I expected, and mixed it with their not unusual bleakness..
Yes!
Good one!!!
Yep.
Ahahaha. I don’t believe it, this is the 2nd April Fools Day in a row involving a Coldplay punk. (Last year it was my Dad who claimed in an email to have met the band after an Andrea Boccelli concert in Dubai and gotten free tickets to a concert… my sisters and I were planning to mock him mercilessly for meeting such a lame band when he did the big April Fools reveal… we felt like idiots.)
That’s hysterical!!
Lol. I needed a laugh today. My pre-coffee brain glimpsed this and ‘say it isn’t so’ ran through my head. *heaves a sigh of relief* Though if it were true, I imagine they’d have an awesome Prix Eau Faux style of ad copy to promote it.
They came close to the Prix Eau Faux as it is
“…we thought we could help them out…”
LOL!!!
The ingredients remind me of Liz Lemon’s favorite snack on 30 Rock–off brand cheetos called “Sabor de Soledad”
That’s so funny!
lol, some people really have fun on April Fool’s Day
Yep!
I was just about to post that to my Facebook page, with a big “What?! Why?!”
Got me.
Then again, I’ll still post it!
Might as well!
I bought it hook, line & sinker!! I was all ready to make a snarky comment & everything. ha!
It’s amazing how well things work on 4/1. Hope everyone checked Google’s home page today.
Don’t you mean Topeka?
I love that Topeka logo.
Still lol here! I love this day-I always try to prank someone, but didn’t expect this one.
Nor did I…
Blood, sweat, and tears! It should be an ELdO perfume, or fronted by Winston Churchill.
Oh gosh, now it’s MUCH funnier! LOL! Blood sweat and tears from fair trade sources…
Yeah, I was suckered until I got to the list of notes in Spanish… then the penny dropped.
that’s where I went from “whaa-uuut?” to “ooooh, ok….”
and yeah, the snark was already forming in my brain…..
…or a flanker to Vulva Original!
I love Brian Eno, and can’t wait to see the bottle if nothing else : )
Ha.
I was just thinking, “oh yeah, April Fool’s Day” and then I read this and STILL totally fell for it!!
Isn’t it funny how that works? I do the same, all the time.
I first fell for it too. I totally forgot it was April Fools Day.
We really caught a lot of you today!
My first thought when I read this: GOTTA be an April Fool’s joke! Hahaha
At least you knew, LOL…
“Angst by Coldplay,” ROFL!!!! Well done!
Agree.
Well played. I wasn’t very interested, but you got me.
And that’s all that matters
it’s the same every year – I totally forget it’s 1st of april, I’m an easy target
but well played!
Easy enough to believe given how many rock bands *do* launch perfumes!
If I had read this yesterday, I might have fallen for it, but the note called “lagrimas” (tears) together with the fragrance named Angst struck me as too funny to be a real thing. HA! Maybe the copy should have said it was designed by Brian EMO!
It’s so funny they should really launch it!
saw this a day later and fell for it. HAlarious!
