Experiencing “The Smell of Timber”

On the one hand, we think it's great that Galaxia Entertainment is giving scent its due: in porn, and in film generally, smell is the most underused of the five senses. It's a hard thing to convey, much less to package, and apart from John Waters' "Polyester" we can't think of anyone who's mined its potential. (No, Mary: Colt's occasional inclusion of "leather cleaner" in its DVD screener packages doesn't count.)

On the other hand, we're concerned that the title of this series-in-the-making (yes, there's a second installment already) might be a mistranslation from Czech, since wee Pavel or Petr or Ignatz here has a monster cock perched on his lips, not shoved up a nostril. Not that we'd really want to see full-on nostril sex this early in the morning, and not that "The Taste of Timber" would be an especially salesworthy title, but you know what we mean.

And on a third, parasitic hand, some of us think coverboy here is getting a better deal than the dudes who invested in certain other types of fragrances. Seriously: why use bottled crotch odor when you can get it fresh from the forest?
