Grass
I have officially run out of my favorite perfume: Gap Grass. They've discontinued it because there is apparently not a big market for people that want to smell like their neighbor's lawn.
But I do.

That's all fine and good, but "Perfume Warehouse does not sell and has never sold any of the original designer brand perfumes. We only sell high quality rendition fragrances created by our own chemical analysis and reproduction."

Posted by: J-Me on Wed May 14, 2003 | ReplyThis may be an assumption, but since I've seen your name on some local Minneapolis blogs (I live in Minneapolis) and thought you might be living in the Twin Cities...
...Garden of Eden in Uptown (kitty-corner from the Gap) sells Grass-scented oil/perfume stuff. It's more expensive than the Gap's, but seems better.
If you really live someplace else, just ignore me!
Posted by: stacey on Wed May 14, 2003 | ReplyAh, nothing revs me up like the smell of a freshly cut lawn, except maybe filling up the tank. I think there's a name for people like me who like odd smells. I hope they come out with Gap Gasolne.
Posted by: MJ on Wed May 14, 2003 | ReplyMJ: I would totally buy Gap Gasoline. I love that smell, plus maybe I would attract a lot of hunky mechanics.
Stacey: I do live in the Twin Cities and am going to Garden of Eden IMMEDIATELY! Thanks!
Posted by: irish-girl on Wed May 14, 2003 | ReplyOh my God! I thought I was the only freak out there who loved the smell of Petrol. We should start a club or something. Gas sniffers anonymous...wait, that doesn't sound so good.
Posted by: Buddha on Wed May 14, 2003 | Replyyou gotta go for that burning oil smell.. nothing says 2 stroke engine like the smell of oil.
Posted by: bill on Wed May 14, 2003 | ReplyActually it's either unleaded gas or Diesel fuel. The latter reminds me of when I was put to work in a Peterbilt truck maintenance shop as a child. Not kidding.
Posted by: Buddha on Wed May 14, 2003 | ReplyICK. Jet fuel can pretty much make me barf on a nose hit. This gas discussion makes me want to hurl. That stuff'll kill ya, ya know.
Posted by: mopsa on Thu May 15, 2003 | ReplyFunny, the smell of diesel always reminds me of you Mopsa (no diesel dyke jokes please). When I first met you oh so many moons ago, you drove a diesel VW Rabbit. I had never met anyone who drove a diesel car before...
Posted by: MJ on Thu May 15, 2003 | ReplyYou can get anything and everything on Ebay! One full bottle:

Posted by: Douglas on Thu May 15, 2003 | ReplyI loved that car. It was shit colored with an orange swoosh stripe. And an AM radio. Oh, MJ -- thanks for the memories.
Posted by: mopsa on Thu May 15, 2003 | Replymopsa: sounds like a miniature german starsky and hutch mobile.

Posted by: irish-girl on Tue Jul 29, 2003 | ReplyHow would you track down a Gap outlet that would have some left over other than calling all of them?

Posted by: Kelly on Sun Jul 11, 2004 | Replyhey, well let me tell you : the best place is ebay.com , the do sell grass is quite expensive around $27.00 to $35.00 dlls. checck ebay, type gap perfume and you will see all the listings, good luck!!!
Posted by: lucia on Sun Sep 05, 2004 | ReplyHi, I love Gap Grass perfume and have been looking for another bottle since 98. I finally walked into a Gap outlet and found that they do sell it as limited edition perfume and was told that they release it once every year. If you can find a Gap Outlet you may be able to find out when they may be releasing it again...
Posted by: Kristan on Thu Sep 16, 2004 | ReplyI have a tiny bit of the gap grass solid perfume which is now several years old but still smells divine. I have also searched high and low but no-one else seems to make this fragrance except in scented candles.
I didn't know that gap release it each year, so I will try my local gap store (in the UK) and see if they are likely to do this limited edition again soon. Otherwise, I might just have to roll around on a lawn somewhere!
