The favourite cologne of the late Ozzy Osbourne is getting a special limited edition release.
The bad news for fans of the Prince of Darkness, is the fragrance has already sold out, as quickly as it was announced. The scent offered the fans the chance to smell like Osbourne did over the las three decades or so.
This news was shared by Czech & Speake, a London based fragrance brand, who announced a limited edition batch of their famous No 88 cologne, which was the chosen scent of Osbourne for more than 30 years. It comes in a black bottle with purple foil, priced at €250.
It was also confirmed that every €50 from each sale of this fragrance will go towards Cure Parkinson's, a disease that Osbourne had battled for years prior to his death last year.
The post read: "The moment he smelled it, he said: ‘I’d like to smell like this for the rest of my life.‘ And he did. Every concert. Every city. Every room he walked into".
The fragrance has been described as "a fresh, woody top note of reviving bergamot, the richness and warmth of geranium, rose otto, cassie and exotic frangipani, combined with dry base notes of vetiver and sandalwood".

News of this comes weeks after it was announced that a special watch was to be released in Osbourne's honour in May.
'The Ozzy' is to be released by the London based, Split Watches, celebrating the late singer's legacy as a music and cultural icon. They are also available via the firm's official website here.
It was also confirmed that proceeds from these sales would go towards MusiCares, a leading non profit charity who support the health and welfare of the music community, they are also a non profit partner of the Recording Academy.
"These were the posters on my wall growing up," Split co founder, Dara stated Amjadi said. "The records that shaped what I wanted to do with my life. Music like that stays with you. It's part of who you become".
"Ozzy stepped into the wider public eye through 'The Osbournes' and what he revealed went far beyond reality TV. He showed that firstly he was a great family man, and also that vulnerability isn't a weight meant to hold people down — it's a force that can set everyone free. By owning every flaw, every struggle, and every unfiltered moment, he gave people permission to do the same", Split added.
