Freeway - Our Shop
This is the fragrance of LA freeways after the oil runs out: flowers, birds, bicycles and picnic areas. It's the aroma of a freeway when the space has become a wildlife haven, with orange groves and white flowers. There are solar cars and bicycles, picnic tables and humming birds. Like everywhere in LA there's the background scent of cooking sugar.

Mandarin petitgrain essential oil gives it a strange note of gasoline evaporating from sun on baking concrete, and there's the deep dark hot rubber smell in the background. It's unusual, but some customers who've been expecting something to try once rather than wear have found themselves pleasantly surprised by how approachable it is and come back for a bigger bottle.
