I read the article link and started thinking (which is always, always dangerous)...
To to quote a slightly paraphrased line from the story:
"made with noble and rare essences which leave an unforgettable olfactory message of him"
What might those essences be?
Corruption
Cover-up
Secret misogynist
My God is bigger than yours
I am always right, you are not
Secret sexual orientation
My s--- doesn't stink
I'm the leader of THE church that's made for you to ONLY think like me, R-O-M-A-N R-A-T-Z.....
Medieval
Pusillanimous
Out of Touch
Beyond this world

Sounds ideal for 'covering-up' things that most people don't like the smell of.

"Pope commissions custom-blended eau de cologne Fragrance, which mixes hints of lime tree, verbena and grass, was concocted by Italian boutique perfume maker Silvana Casoli...
Casoli said she had a "pact of secrecy" with her most illustrious client to date, and refused to release the full list of ingredients that had gone into his scent – but she did reveal that she had created a delicate smelling eau de cologne "based on his love of nature".
At last, we will rough idea what the odour of sanctity smells like when Josef Ratzinger is routinely canonized by his successor.

Now what will the cologne be called that is the question!
Sweet Smell of Success (nah, already been used)
A Little Bit of dis and a Little Bit of dat.
O Come All Ye Faithful
Pontifical Prelude
The Vatican has previously played down reports that the 84-year-old pontiff is a snappy dresser, arguing that his unusual hats, including a red panama, reflect his respect for papal tradition rather than an eye for fashion.
Or Papal Bull after reading this load of nonsence!

Great name - should sell millions!
Perhaps a touch of 'desiccated mouse' would add a hint of authenticity to the overall perfume.

Some slightly irreverent friends suggested either "Forever Fourteen" or "Red Shoes" as possible names. My preferences would be "Out of Touch" or, remembering how long it took to clean my shoes after a visit to Belleau Wood monument, "A Walk in the Deer Forest."

Has anyone thought about that it is lent in regards to the pope having a perfum made for him, not a good time i do not think for him to be doing such a thing... I wonder what Anthony Fisher is doing and eating this year in lent after gorging himself on a table of sea food this time last year.
