What does it smell like?

Another discovery at the mall on Saturday: “The Essence of Adventure.” I honestly cannot figure out what the target audience is for this. I mean, a Hummer fragrance? Does it make you smell like you’ve been driving in mud all day? Is it a bottle of engine oil? Is it supposed to give you that new car smell? Is it supposed to increase your chances of getting—uh, never mind.
Seriously, who came up with this idea? And are we likely to see Jeep cologne next? Maybe BMW or Mercedes fragrances for the more sophisticated market?

A friend-of-a-friend of mine actually bought some of this stuff, and he is admittedly quite stupid. Does that answer your question?

Smells like adventure…so sweat? Fires? Temples of snakes?

Probably smells like leather seats, a drive-through quesadilla, car wash detergent, Armor All, and - I hope - the gentle electrical smolder of a dying Bose stereo.

I have no clue about this one.
Btw, at first, I thought Durova’s comment said something about driving through or over Joe Quesada. It’s still too early, I guess.

Ha ha ha! “Driving over Joe Quesada” sounds like it should fit nicely with CSI: Dying in the Gutters!
