Perfume and Cologne scents Thomas Edison devloped that never made it

Happy Father's Day All!
My Dad admired Thomas Edison for his non stop trial and error work ethic. He liked how Mr Edison kept working in spite of often failing.  My Dad told me that one of the inventor's less well known flops was Aromas for the Rest of Us, a misguided effort to enter the niche smell markets.   Some of the tested aromas:  Boot Camp    Ear wax    Beefsteak tomato    Hot engine oil    olde Antifreeze   Burp    Girls Toes    Bottom of the Purse     used Seat Cushion     Unwashed Hair     Elbow grease    Litter Box     Cow Patty     Young Shirtless Vagrant      Chocolate milk       Inside of condemned house     Very hot day vacant lot     Melting blacktop     Scabs and road rash     Fruit cellar     Overheated wiring     Burnt cheese     Beer spilled in ashtray        Whiskey spilled on car floor      Baby belch     Chili dog    Sugar glazing     Ozone   raw Green beans     Donut dough
