Have you ever wondered what Tyler Hansbrough smells like? I certainly haven't. Frankly, I think we're better off not knowing. A man that grits and grinds and hearts that much basketball can only smell like a hockey locker room after a doubleheader. It can't be a good thing. (Speaking of which, for as bad as all athletes smell, nothing smells worse than freshly perspired-in hockey gear. It's quite possibly the worst smell in the world. I'd rather take a nap in a landfill.)

Anyway. Athlete colognes are nothing new. Michael Jordan famously released his cologne in 1997, and every 12-year-old male in the country soon had a bottle. Big Gheorghe Muresan followed up with his brand soon thereafter. Derek Jeter was next. And so on.

But never have colognes tried to epitomize entire universities. This is a new one on me. And yet, here it is, as very real as the seasonal depression we all feel on this snowy December 1:

A "signature scent" exclusively created for The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Inspired by the Beauty of the Old Well, the Reverence of the Tar Heels and the Undeniable Allure of Carolina Blue. Charming, Legendary and Irresistible.

UNC for men is a light and crisp fragrance that embodies alluring Carolina Blue in a bottle. The fragrance opens with fresh Sicilian lemon and bergamot. The aromatics extend with lavender and the subtle spice of sensual white pepper. The base notes combine a soft white amber and tonka bean. An irresistible and fresh creation for the proud Carolina man.

For those that don't want "Carolina Blue in a bottle," Masik is also offering Penn State -- smell like Joe Paterno's old-man musk! -- and will soon release Florida, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, and Georgia. Which means that SEC fans are apparently the target customer base for a cologne that smells like their schools. Maybe that's true. Maybe not. I know only one thing: Bruce Pearl is totally ready to get scented, bro.
