NEW YORK (AP) --

Looking to beef up your mojo this holiday season? Burger King may have just the thing.

The home of the Whopper has launched a new men's body spray called "Flame," which it describes as "the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat."

The fast food chain is marketing the product through a Web site featuring a photo of its King character reclining fireside and naked, except for an animal fur strategically placed to not offend. The marketing ploy is the latest in a string of virile ad campaigns by the company.

Burger King is also in the midst of its Whopper Virgins campaign that features an taste test with fast-food "virgins" pitting the Whopper against McDonald's Big Mac.
