Mango Yuzu Gasoline

This is my first time trying a Bohoboco and I'm surprised at how good this one is. I expected more of a novelty fragrance or something that would be more confusing to wear based on hot or cold weather situations (like Imaginary Authors' Cobra & Canary), but it's actually the opposite. For me, it's an easy-to-wear, highly unique fresh-leaning fragrance that can work year-round. I was waiting for the gasoline accord to overpower the fruit notes, but it never really does until the far drydown. It's very balanced and maintains a level of freshness on my skin through almost the entire wear. Instead of the usual musk/woods etc. that you'd find in the base of your average freshie, the gasoline/suede/leather act as the backbone to everything here. It's not harsh or dirty at all to my perception and everything is beautifully blended. As far as fruits goes, the mango is definitely what I pick up on most. It's actually bright, realistic and effervescent, countering the gasoline accord to make a really perfect yin and yang. I don't know how they did it, but it somehow just works. Also in the air, I get the citrus much more than the heavier facets. Only con to the fragrance for me is that the far drydown is kinda plastic-y, but I guess that's to be expected given the aromachemicals needed to make the gasoline accord. If you're like me who lives in an area where it's hot 10 months out the year and you want all the unique freshies you can find, this should definitely be on your radar. Just make sure you like mango, yuzu, and gasoline first. 😄 8.5/10

This was my introduction to the house of Bohoboco and what an intro it was. I have a moderate size collection of different styles of fragrances and this one has been one of the best smelling fragrance I experienced in a while. I can see that it would not be for everyone, you need to enjoy the fruity aspect of it. Yet, if you do enjoy fruity scents, the depth it has with the combination of freshness is amazing to experience. Can't say anything about the performance yet, although it shocked me that I was able to smell it after 18 hours as a skin scent. It does not project at that point obviously but I could still smell it, which makes it a nice sweet intimate fragrance after a couple hours.

This release is catching flak from some because those reviewing it are expecting something similar to a Lorenzo Pazzaglia tropical fruit bomb. Instead, they’re getting bodied by the gas note. THIS IS NOT A SWEET TOOTH FRUIT PUNCH. This is a tropical, more summer friendly approach to the Fahrenheit DNA. Once you recognize this fact and use it as such it makes a lot more sense. I purchased this earlier in the week in Florence and have been wearing it in the sun, and the experience is incredible. Citrus goes to tropical sweetness goes to petrol. What bohoboco has done here is just incredible.

Wow is that the nicest mango I've smelled or what. Crisp, juicy, slightly sweet but very fresh and not even slightly cloying. What a great fragrance, completely surprised me how nice it is, mango and the other fruits feel so natural and well done. Deep, complex with the suede/amber/gasoline backbone. Lovely scent, I think it's quite wearable actually. Great blend with mango (yes mango again) on top. Base notes blended really well, nothing sticks out. This is straight gas(oline), hehe.

Bohoboco strikes again and nails a big one. It smells like it says. Outrageous, outstanding, out of this world. Smells like drinking a fresh and zesty fruit smoothie while filling the tank at the gas station. And I. LOVE. IT. I always loved the smell of gasoline, since I was a child. I can't say why. I went to my favourite niche shop in town and tried it. Love at first sight. Instant buy. It's gonna be an adventurous summer.
