OMG, uncle trav! That is pure awesomeness! Or the exact opposite. :lol:
(Uh... is that supposed to be her hair?)

Cheekytiki - they actually have used the smell of cigarettes (smoke, ash, pipe, cigar, tobacco, leaf, kush/weed, close and yes, STALE butts) in their scents. And for the most part they're not bad. For instance, the scents based on the Dogs Playing Poker paintings or the one she made with David Bowie and the glam scene in mind:

STARDUST
When the holidays roll around, not everyone has mistletoe, caroling and cookies on their minds. This scent is a paean to celebrating hard: nights covered in glitter and dusted with cocaine, flutes of Cristal clutched in shaky hands, leather and lace, the Spiders From Mars in the background, and twisting, sweaty limbs entangled in dark corners. Hairspray and cigarette smoke is the incense in this temple to decadence, strobe and mirrors replace the devotional candles, and Bolan sings the hymns. This scent is for everyone that has every drifted off into Quaalude-induced reverie to the beat of a tribal 4-on-the-floor: the sound of Mott the Hoople, Sweet, Slade or the Dolls. This scent reflects the futurism, self-indulgence and excess of the Glitter 70's: champagne, hyacinth, tuberose, ylang ylang and flashing white musk with jonquil, tobacco flower, white sandalwood and a pale poppy.

That one was pretty rank on me. In the bottle it was really cool, but on my skin it was hairspray and cig smoke with a cheap champagne undertone. Blech. Stupid skin chemistry.

Alright. I'll shut up about perfume now.
