Gasoline perfumes
The gasoline accord is a scent family that evokes the sharp, volatile, slightly sweet and petroleum-like smell of a gas station or a garage, and it is mostly found in experimental and urban perfumes. It adds a daring, offbeat character to a fragrance.
Real fuel is never used in perfume; the effect is built as an illusion with tarry and smoky notes, aldehydes, terpenic molecules, and metallic and leather notes. Gasoline notes are mostly felt in the top and heart. They pair often with leather, smoky, metallic, asphalt and woody accords. Gasoline-accented fragrances suit those looking for something unconventional, autumn evenings and an urban style.
The Gasoline accord appears in 24 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
