Nashville, TN – In a move that has both amused and intrigued fans, Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has launched a new fragrance inspired by his well-known love for mayonnaise.

According to CNN, the fragrance is a collaboration between Levis and Hellmann’s, the brand famously associated with mayonnaise. The launch is part of a lighthearted marketing campaign that plays on Levis’ quirky habit of putting mayonnaise in his coffee, a trait that first gained attention during his college days at the University of Kentucky. The campaign has been met with a mix of curiosity and laughter, as fans and critics alike try to wrap their heads around the idea of a mayonnaise-scented cologne.
Fox News reported that the fragrance, simply dubbed “Mayo,” is marketed with the tagline “For the Bold.” The promotional material emphasizes the playful nature of the product, positioning it as a unique and daring choice for those who aren’t afraid to stand out. Levis himself has embraced the humor of the situation, appearing in a series of ads that highlight his offbeat personality. “Why not smell as good as you taste?” Levis jokes in one of the commercials, leaning into the absurdity of the concept.
Sports Illustrated highlighted the broader implications of this marketing move, noting that Levis has quickly become one of the most talked-about personalities in the NFL, not just for his on-field performance but also for his eccentricities off the field. The mayonnaise fragrance is just the latest in a series of viral moments for the young quarterback, who has already cultivated a reputation as a fan favorite. The scent, described as having “notes of rich cream and a hint of spice,” is designed to be more of a novelty than a serious fragrance, but it has nonetheless sparked widespread interest.
The partnership with Hellmann’s has also drawn attention from major media outlets, with The New York Times describing the campaign as a masterstroke in sports marketing. The collaboration has been praised for its creativity and for leveraging Levis’ unique brand to create something memorable. While the fragrance itself may not be a bestseller, the buzz generated by the campaign has certainly succeeded in keeping Levis in the spotlight.
CBS Sports provided additional insight into the campaign, noting that the ads have been a hit on social media, where fans have shared and commented on the videos in droves. The commercials, which feature Levis humorously touting the “sophistication” of the mayo-inspired scent, have been viewed millions of times across various platforms. The campaign is seen as a fun and clever way to engage with fans, particularly in a sport where personality often plays as big a role as athletic ability.
As the fragrance continues to capture the public’s imagination, Will Levis has once again proven that he’s not just a talented quarterback but also a savvy marketer with a knack for turning even the most unusual ideas into viral gold. Whether or not the mayonnaise-inspired scent becomes a lasting trend, it’s clear that Levis has cemented his place as one of the NFL’s most entertaining and unconventional figures.
