Zotac launches a new fragrance line just for gamers — the company’s April Fool’s joke turned to reality

F5 Fragrance from Zotac.

Gaming hardware company Zotac, known for its graphics cards, mini-PCs, and gaming handheld consoles, just launched a new product line designed for gamers. According to the Facebook post of HKEPC [machine translated], the company is launching the F5 Esports Perfume designed for players “to keep their body smell refreshed in intense gaming, fight mental fatigue, improve attention, and speed up reactions.”

Zotac first released an April Fool’s post about this fragrance earlier this year on the Zotac news page, saying that the fragrance uses a “proprietary blend of caffeine, taurine, and other secret ingredients.” It also listed what F5 smells like — a combination of sea breeze, cypress, mint, and white musk, delivering an aquatic and woody scent. We’re unsure if the details on this page are still accurate, but one of our teammates here at Tom’s Hardware got their hands on it during Computex 2025. According to them, the fragrance smells sweet and is suitable for everyone.
