Basenotes' visitor's favourite,
Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf has been banned from duty free shops in Oslo so that "extremists will not be tempted to use it as a prop" according to Yahoo! News
The Flowerbomb bottle, which is shaped like a hand grenade, was withdrawn after a Norwegian passenger was found carrying the bottle in her hand luggage at Beavais airport.
A similar incident happened in 2003 in Philadelphia International Airport when a international student was held for four hours after carrying a bottle of
Diesel Green - shaped like a bottle of garden fertilizer.
