Bacon—the actor, not the delicious breakfast item—teamed up with the _Late Late Show_ host to make a commercial for a new bacon-scented cologne, a feat that could only be truly celebrated in black-and-white with an accompanying interpretive dance. In the perfume ad, [Corden](http://time.com/4472347/james-corden-kanye-west-fade-video/?iid=sr-link6) extols his love of bacon (or is that Bacon?) be it, “crazy, mad, or wild bacon.” Whatever the craving, the answer is always “bacon.” Corden is so excited about the idea of bacon-scented cologne he doesn’t even care if the cologne smells like bacon or, you know, Kevin Bacon. Watch above, and if you’re truly interested in breakfast meat-scented perfume, it [already exists](http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/04/06/bacon-scented-perfume-sure-why-not/?iid=sr-link1). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4475856/james-corden-kevin-bacon-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4475856/james-corden-kevin-bacon-video/"},"headline":"Kevin Bacon and James Corden Want You to Smell Like Bacon","datePublished":"2016-09-01T15:02:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:07.654Z","description":"What's the smell James Corden loves most in the morning?
