Pointless Perfume Review: Gasoline

[smokingboot]

I don't know enough about New York City to understand what Bleecker Street is famous for. (https://www.bondno9.com/bleecker-street.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqpQSUAZXE26a7WcFQO44PzASx9L8agjMXomn4Ur4F6lp0GZhBw)

What I do know is that this perfume, happy and pleasant though it is with its interesting combo of gasoline and treated jasmine plus fruity floral notes, is not worth between $295.00 - $440.00. Come on now. Also, the bottle is green and purple, designed in a way that makes me think of an artistic collusion between Aleister Crowley and the Joker.

Cute. But neh.

Edited to add; OK, credit where credit's due, this thing was still hanging on in there into evening, with very little change to the top notes. Impressive longevity, and what you smell at first is what you keep getting.

Bleeker Street is one of the main drags through Greenwich Village and thus synonymous with the Bohemian lifestyle, rebelliousness, my candle burns at both ends, etc.

Well that's interesting, thank you! It is quite a 'bright' perfume, cheerful without being shrieky, and the gasoline edge to the florals keeps it metropolitan. I'm too used to 'Bohemian' being perfume code for Patchouli.
