The graphics card manufacturer Nvidia has announced a rather unusual bundle: with certain laptops featuring 3000 series graphics cards, you get deodorant and shower gel included. However, everything can’t be bought.
What kind of deodorant is it? The fragrance is called “SPHYNX: Ampere” and comes in the form of a roll-on deodorant and a small bottle of shower gel in a stylish gift packaging. Those who found the toaster from Razer strange will probably just shake their heads at this.
What exactly it is supposed to smell like, hardly anyone knows so far. Nvidia merely promises the “most advanced platform for extreme freshness you have ever seen” and the possibility to “shower with RTX” – whatever that may mean.
However, you cannot buy the gift box with deodorant and shower gel. The fragrance will not be released directly but will be raffled off exclusively.
Deodorant and shower gel come with a brand new gaming laptop – perfect for the upcoming releases in 2023. You can see our highlights for the coming year in the video:
Deodorant comes in a bundle with gaming laptops
Where can I get the deodorant? The plan is to raffle off the care products along with two laptops through social media channels. So you should keep an eye out on Twitter and co. for offers. As for participants from Germany, we currently do not know of any giveaway.
Deodorant and shower gel are merely a small gimmick, as the actual prize is hidden in a compartment of the gift box. The SPHYNX: Ampere comes with one of two gaming notebooks:
- the ASUS TUF Dash F15 with an Intel i5 CPU and an RTX 3050
- or the Nitro 5 with an Intel i7 CPU and an RTX 3060
Are the laptops worth it? MeinMMO hardware expert Benedikt Schlotmann has already analyzed and categorized both graphics cards if you want to learn more:

Both laptops usually cost around 1,000 euros and belong to the entry-level category of gaming laptops, depending on the configuration. Those who want to play the latest games at maximum performance will find little use for them. However, they are sufficient for traveling to family over the holidays and still comfortably gaming on the go.
If you want more performance, you should rather opt for the current flagship models of the 4000 series. Just make sure not to accidentally get hired by a company:
