camp for me until recently when theAllureoffice got word thatSnifwas launching a perfume thatsmells like gasoline.
What sets this fragrance apart is the prominent aroma of gasoline, which comes from gasoline accord.

“We love starting conversations and sparking new opinions within the fragrance community.”
