Osama Bin Laden's big brother, Yeslam, is preparing to cash in on 9/11 by selling a line of perfume in the US he thinks people will buy out of curiosity.

The Swiss-Saudi born Yeslam Bin Ladin told the New York Daily News the perfume, "Yeslam," is jasmine-scented.

"I expect people out of curiosity will try it, and they will find the smell out of this world," he said.

Bin Ladin, who deliberately spells the family name differently than Osama, said he expects the family name's notoriety in the United States since the 9/11 terror attacks will help sales.

He said he was preparing for the launch before the attacks but waited three years, and feels the market timing is now right.
