John Mayer won't release an aftershave because it would smell like "sausage and sleep".

The 'Gravity' hitmaker has refused to launch his own fragrance because he doesn't want to be an "a*shole" and encourage his fans to fork out $60 for something which doesn't smell very nice.

He said: "I'm not diversifying in terms of selling anything. I'm not selling 'John Mayer: the cologne'. If I did it would just smell like sausage and sleep. I don't look at my fans and think, 'Wow, they really like what I do musically. Imagine if I could get $60 more out of them.' Who out there really foes, 'You know what, I just f**king love perfumes. I always have since I was a kid. If I weren't a pop singer, I'd be a perfumier…'? At some point I may turn into an a*shole, but right now I just peddle a CD for $15 every two years."

I would love to have a perfume, how amazing to have your own smell.

Although John is uninterested in extending his brand, this seems to be a rarity in the celebrity world.

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole recently admitted she would like to create her own fragrance.

She said: "I would love to have a perfume, how amazing to have your own smell."
