Microsoft UK confirms it is behind cheeky Destiny fragrance ad

Microsoft is behind a new advertising campaign which portrays Bungie’s upcoming space shooter Destiny as a perfume.

Head to DestinyFragrance.com and you’ll be greeted by an advert for “the new fragrance by Xbox”.

But click through to the next page and the truth is revealed.

“Okay, so here’s the lowdown. Destiny is actually an epic new first-person shooter, available on Xbox,” the site’s text reads. “Thing is, we didn’t have permission to run adverts for the game.

“So we didn’t. Thanks for smelling that something was up. Now get the game and become a legend.”
