For the man in your life - HUMMER(tm) cologne
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 02:38 PM by flamingyouth
I was just in Sephora getting some treats for a pregnant friend of mine, and I witnessed what had to have been one of the weirdest sales presentations ever. The sales rep was giving the store staff one of those endless and ghastly product trainings that all of us who've worked in retail have endured. I don't know if she'd had eight pots of coffee today or what, but she was so enthusiastic about HUMMER cologne, I was concerned for her sanity.

I took home two free samples of it and was surprised that it doesn't smell like premium unleaded. I love the description from the Sephora website.

A vehicle so extreme in its power, so incomparable in its appearance, that it defies any attempt to place it in a traditional category. Simply stated, HUMMER(tm) gives new meaning to the word invincible.

In keeping with its famous heritage, HUMMER(tm)Fragrance For Men is masculine with rugged and adventurous attributes. This classic yet bold new fragrance for men embodies all that HUMMER(tm)is.

Hummer

The Hummer adventure begins with a fresh and exhilarating burst of freshness comprised of green foliage (ironic), cardamom, thyme, and peppercorns that capture the essence of the outdoors. These lively notes are then melded with a warm, rugged, masculine, adrenaline rush of leather, patchouli, amber, and sandalwood. The smooth richness of tonka bean act as the "axle" that links and balances the fresh and warm notes, creating an olfactory sensation that can only be Hummer(tm).

Notes:
Peppercorns, Cardamom, Thyme, Green Foliage, Tonka Bean, Leather, Patchouli, Amber, Sandalwood .
Style:
Fresh. Warm. Masculine.

3. Note to all men everywhere:
You're only allowed one hummer. There's cologne. There's the car. There's something else.
Pick wisely.

5. mmmmmm...............HUMMER
What man DOESN'T want to smell like a six-ton piece of machinery? Especially after it's been out in the field for a while, and is caked with mud and the entrails of slain enemies?

mmmmmm..........HUMMER.

The idea is stupid, but how does it smell, anyway?

Ah, my sweet Adrien Brody. He drives a Hummer. :(
