Kerosene | Summer of 84 | Eau de Parfum
The Detroit Tigers won the World Series, I was young. Summer air smelled as new and clean as grapefruit pop sunk with ice cubes, fizzed in warm sun. Popsicle wrappers and fresh cut melons half-eaten on the picnic table.
It was the Summer of '84.
Notes: Grapefruit, Lemon, Bergamot, Melon, White Flowers, Fresh Water, Musk
Common Questions
What does Kerosene Summer of 84 smell like? Grapefruit soda over ice. Grapefruit, lemon and bergamot fizz at the top, melon and white flowers add a juicy, watery sweetness, and it settles into fresh water and clean musk. Bright and nostalgic rather than sharp.
When should I wear it? Warm weather is where it belongs: summer days, weekends, anywhere you want to smell clean and easy. It is a citrus fragrance, so it is light by nature rather than a heavy evening scent.
Should I buy the 100mL without trying it? Citrus-and-melon scents are generally easy to like, but melon is a note some people love and some do not. The 1.5mL sample is which is the cheapest way to find out which camp you are in.
Where can I buy it? Here, or in person at our counter in West Hartford, Connecticut. If you have not tried it, start with the 1.5mL sample before a full bottle of the perfume.
