The king of swing Wasim Akram turned into a king of colognes on his 50th birthday.
To honour his achievement for being the highest wicket taker in the test cricket for Pakistan, J. Fragrances collaborated with the cricket legend and launched a cologne, named '414 Scent of Sultan,' reports the Dawn.
Describing the reason behind the name, Mohammed Ali Mufti, the head of sales and marketing at J. Fragrances said, "Wasim Akram is the the highest wicket taker in test cricket for Pakistan, having taken 414 wickets in 104 matches; We thought it would make for the perfect name for the perfume."
Several cricketers, including Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Jacques Kallis, Shahid Afridi have posted videos on their social media accounts, congratulating the left-arm pacer on the scent launch.
