OK so Belgium have totally outdone themselves in terms of the Art scene - olfactory artist Peter De Cupere unveiled a frozen sculpture of The Madonna that is designed to smell like vagina. Let's all just have think about that for a moment.

First off, the reason behind the interestingly scented move, is to deal with complex issues religion has in art. Obviously. 'Religion has always been an interesting issue in art. The reason is simple, because it’s conservative, an old and closed idea and art is the opposite, it’s progressive and open — like a vagina,' Peter De Cupere told The HuffPost. 'A woman’s vagina smells, in general, great and more men should respect that.'

Well I suppose that's quite nice. The sculpture - called *The Deflowering *- was unveiled yesterday, made from frozen holy water and designed to melt within two hours. But don't worry if you missed out, spectators can now dip their fingers in the melted water and take the scent home with them on their hands.

But how did they get the authentic vagina-scent? Er, from genuine vaginas. Look I'm trying to be all cool about this and not say its weird but IT'S WEIRD ISN'T IT IT'S SO WEIRD WOULD YOU GO AND SEE A FROZEN SWAN THAT SMELT LIKE BALLS? PROBABLY NOT.

'I wanted to be sure that it’s a mix of different women and that they are from different origins,' says Peter, ever measured and never knowingly writing in capital letters about a frozen swan that smells like balls. 'The scent is not synthetic. It’s the real vaginal scent distilled in special ways. How they do it is the secret of the labs.'

German labs have created the vagina smell and, while I'm really on board with the concept and the idea that more men should respect women's vagina-fragrances (let's put those feminine perfume companies out of business! Hooray! This isn't sarcasm! I genuinely wish they'd all disappear never to return because who wants a vagina to smell like disinfectant/toilet freshener!), did he have to actually make a Madonna out of vag water? Not sure.

Check it out if you're in Belgium though, I mean, why not?
