    I hate to admit this, but this might actually smell good - especially the cedar, juniper and grapefruit. But buying a Brooklyn perfume with a bunch of shit written on the bottle with a Sharpie is just too dorky even for me.

    Well, this company also thinks the Upper West Side smells like pineapple and basil and that Harlem smells like coffee and patchouli. I live somewhere in between and I'm glad it doesn't smell like the world's grossest smoothie/frappuccino in real life.

    I loathe, loathe, loathe that perky little "think:___" construction. It gives any piece of writing the depth and style of a fitness tip in SELF magazine.

    Christine's Beef Patties (In the Slopes where the Yupsters ask for their's "mild". Amateurs), Mill Basin Supreme's Supreme Pizza (the good one with the basil and buffalo mozzarella), Kings Plaza burned Quiznos/Sabarro Oven, Kam Fung chicken wings with hot sauce in a brown paper bag (the freakin best smell, Evah!) Sheepshead Bay United Artist Theatre stale popcorn and urine, because for some reason there's always urine.

    If it were edgy, it'd come in a baggie. No sell.

    In a related note, Bond No. 9 Fire Island smells like lube, suntan lotion, and crystal meth.


    I have to admit, I do like their New Haarlem scent though...

    Grapefruit? Silly marketers, the only citrus you'll find out here are Georgi-heavy screwdrivers. And what about the sea of skinny man-legs in tight jeans made you think "desirably masculine attitude," pray tell?

    This makes me glad I have an impaired sense of smell.


    As for the concept, I can't say anything that Thomas Frank didn't already in The Commodification of Cool.

    Yes, the edgy, urban handwritten script is vital, for had we used Times New Roman it would smell exactly like Old Spice.

    Mine would almost smell good.


    Pot

    Fresh baked bread

    Bacon from the Korean grocery

    Sewer


    In my dreams it smells like kielbasa and dill pickle soup. In fact, in my dreams, it smells like Krolewskie.
