French surf and extreme sports brand Oxbow will open their first US boutiques in 2008, and will launch their debut fragrances under the tag line Essence de Surf in March.
The Oxbow scent for men was created by perfumer Alexis Dadier. The notes feature green citron, mint, cola, cannabis accord, driftwood, mate, hot sand, patchouli, vetiver, moss and white musk. It will be available in 50 and 90 ml Eau de Toilette.
The women's fragrance is a citrusy fruity floral developed by perfumer Philippe Romano. The notes include citrus, violet, raspberry and jasmine. It will be available in 30, 50 and 90 ml Eau de Toilette

For all the dudes and dudettes in your life… If one could remove the cola and “cannabis accord”, the men's might be nice.
Exactly! The men's sounds way more appealing to me than the women's, cola & cannabis or no.
