Not everyone can be Hugh Hefner and he understands that. But you can get the Word translated into perfume and spread the message around. Sex guru, eye-candy master and lifestyle coach Hefner has launched a series of four perfumes for men destined to awaken your desires and those of your elected partners while teaching a lesson on life. The latter part seems as important as the first and that is to learn to play the Hefner way, meaning living your own personal dreams and, very importantly, leaving as little as possible to chance. This venture comes as Playboy has been experiencing financial difficulties due to a drop of circulation of their magazine, but no one can deny the major impact Playboy has had on pop culture.  

Hollywood Playboy, Vegas Playboy, Miami Playboy and Malibu Playboy, developed by Coty Inc., are all meant to capture a different type of man, each associated with the spirit of a particular place known for its high-living style...
