This eau de gentrification for Bowery 2.0 – Nouveau Bowery – opts for a citrusy scent in honor of the rampant transition to so-called “ultra modernity.”
The sweet scent of skid row transitioning to ultra-modernity. For contrarians of all genders, an enticing anti-perfume, composed of near dissonant florals, citruses and herbs.
A punk-rock, “anti-perfume” priced accordingly at a laughable $150 for 50 mL. But in the end, we all know that the true scent of the Bowery is an olfactory cocktail of piss, puke, and trash.
