A perfume, whose creator says was inspired by Russian President Vladimir Putin, has gone on sale in Moscow.

It's called "Leaders Number One". The perfume, created by the Belarussian-born perfumer Vladislav Rekunov, was inspired by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

But on the streets of Moscow, the fragrance has had mixed reviews."To be honest it smells like cheap perfume," said one man.But a Vladimir Lenin impersonator disagrees."What a scent! I recommend it to everyone!" said 'Lenin'.Perfumer, Mr Rekunov, says he hopes one day to present the real President Putin, with his own bottle of "Leaders Number One".
