Zippo, the well-known American lighter brand, has launched their debut fragrance, Zippo Original for men:

The notes for the woody aromatic include bergamot, grapefruit, apple, violet leaf, black pepper, lavender, geranium, clary sage, tonka bean, cedar, patchouli, cashmere wood, vetiver and vanilla.
Zippo Original is sold in 50 ml + 50 ml refill, concentration unknown. (quote via zippofragrances, additional information via osmoz, sfilate.it)
I wish they were kidding.
I think that’s a great bottle. Don’t know about the scent….
I was thinking the same thing! Great bottle. I wonder how large it is.
How delightfully tacky!
Wouldn’t it be great if the juice was actually quite good.
Yes!
I think this is great, but it would be even better if there was a tobacco note in there!
I know – right?! I mean, hello! Tobacco would have been a logical note to include.
Ditto!
Makes sense to me. Maybe they were afraid of backlash, strange as it may seem.
I missed it too
My inner nerd loves the bottle design, but it sounds like a kitchen sink sort of fragrance. Not really my thing.
I love that bottle too.
Off topic here, and this may have been mentioned before – but the November issue of InStyle magazine has a ‘Best of the Web’ feature and NST gets a shout out!! Yay! That made me so happy when I read that. 😉
Thanks!
It figures I missed that and I usually pick InStyle up @ the grocery store each month.
I saw that too! My heart did a little leap.
i haven’t seen a (hidden) cigarette ad for years…
Love the bottle but where are the tobacco and leather notes??
This is great design! Most fragrance bottles for men are large and clunky…designed by people who have no understanding of the value of a small sleek container which can be easily carried in a gym kit, overnight bag, etc. I wonder if, given the alcohol content of this fragrance, it could also be used as lighter fluid in case your actual Zippo lighter runs out? That is a great multi-use concept.
There used to be this clever zip-light mini flashlight that inserted into the standard lighter. You can remove the contents and put other stuff in their. It would be funny if the fragrance doubled as lighter fluid. Ha.
Oh, come on. I can’t even hear the words “Zippo” or “cigarette lighter” without smelling lighter fluid. That is NOT a scent I want to wear.
Oh, I totally want to smell the lighter fluid!! Reminds me of my grandpa and then of a guy I had a huge crush on who used a Zippo. Tobacco, ciggy smoke, lighter fluid, maybe a little Schlitz. I wish CdG or Etat Libre had done this one.
I used to love that lighter fluid smell of a Zippo. I think an uncle or other relative had one. The cigarette tobacco… not so much.
I’m a fan of the actual smell of a Zippo as well. I even miss how it used to scorch my nose hairs sometimes. 😛
HA! Schlitz…maybe Busch as well with a bit of a ‘Mary-Jane! Would smell like a few high-school boyfriends…
oops..’Mary-Jane’ accord I meant to say!
LOL! We know what you REALLY mean! LOL!
I won’t repeat what I said under the video commercial. But I need to get my hands on this for sure. How funny.
The best thing would be if that bottle had the very characteristic sound of the Zippo lighter everytime you’d open/close it.
Love that sound. Very satisfying. It used to drive my friends crazy though as I have a nervous tendency to “click” things over and over. Never let me get my hands on a retractable ink pen.
