A new Trump fragrance that the president is marketing as having the sweet smell of success is ‘gross,’ according to one Fox News commentator who isn’t buying it. President Trump issued the surprise pitch for people to purchase his new $249 fragrance Monday – even as he leaned on the Senate in search of a bare majority to pass his ‘big beautiful bill’.

It was a marketing move that drew an immediate rebuke from Fox News commentator Jessica Tarlov – who appears on ‘The Five’ and has been railing against Trump’s megabill. ‘Sixteen million Americans are about to lose their healthcare, but go buy my gross perfume…’ she wrote, dismissing Trump’s pitch. Tarlov, who is usually outnumbered representing a more liberal position on the show, cohosts a podcast called ‘Raging Moderates.’

She was referencing a Congressional Budget Office estimate of the megabill’s impact on health coverage, mostly due to Medicaid cuts. The bill passed the Senate 51-50 Tuesday, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. It’s unclear how Tarlov would be able to evaluate the new scent, which is just coming on the market.

The efforts of Senate Republican leadership to line up support for the legislation were being called odious after provisions dubbed the ‘Kodiak kickback’ were designed to bring Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski on board. Before that, Trump was promoting his perfume.

‘Trump Fragrances are here. They’re called “Victory 45-47” because they’re all about Winning, Strength, and Success — For men and women,’ Trump wrote on his Truth Social site. ‘Get yourself a bottle, and don’t forget to get one for your loved ones too. Enjoy, have fun, and keep winning!’ Trump wrote.

The marketing materials the president posted just after business hours on June 30 feature a gold statuette of a man in a tuxedo bearing a resemblance to a younger Trump. It’s part of his ‘Fight, fight, fight’ collection, which also marketing fragrances after the attempt on his life during the 2024 campaign.

‘This scent is your rallying cry in a bottle. Featuring Trump’s iconic image and raised fist, this limited-edition cologne embodies strength, power and victory,’ it says. The Trump Victory 45-47 fragrance features perfume from women and a cologne for men, with the bottles bearing the president’s signature.

Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia jabbed that the scent of Trump’s perfume likely matches the odor of the president’s Big Beautiful Bill: ‘garbage’. Trump already drew attention for selling gold sneakers, coffee table books and other items during his campaign to regain the White House.

He even sold signed gold watches for $100,000 each. His latest financial disclosure revealed he raked in $57 million from a single family-linked cryptocurrency venture.

Trump also hauled in $3 million from his ‘Save America’ coffee table book, $2.5 million from Trump-branded sneakers and cologne, $1.3 million from ‘The Greenwood Bible’, $1.05 million from a line of ’45’ electric guitars, and $1.06 million from licensing his image for digital trading cards.
