This reeks of genius.

D.S. & Durga, a Brooklyn perfume house, has captured the scent of Albert Einstein in a bottle.

The burly blend evokes pipe tobacco, papyrus manuscripts and vintage leather. It’s not available for purchase on its own, but you can score a bottle if you buy a limited-run Menlo Cossack Jacket from Levi’s.

See, Einstein was revered not just for his scientific advancements, but his style, too — namely, his signature golden-brown Levi’s leather jacket. In 2016, the denim brand acquired the original piece at a 2016 Christie’s auction for 110,500 pounds (about $152,000). Surprisingly, the brainiac’s scent still lingered.

Wisdom doesn’t come cheap, however: It’ll cost you $1,200 to look and smell like the scientist.
