Discover earthy scents in CB I Hate Perfume
Imagine spraying on a mist of cologne that wafts notes of sand and driftwood about your frame, giving you the sense of having been swimming in the ocean all day. Fresh and salty, these exact notes have been captured in a cologne dubbed At The Beach 1966.
Just one fragrance under the CB I Hate Perfume banner, At The Beach 1966 is a concoction of wet sand, seashells, driftwood and Coppertone suntan lotion as it existed in the 1960s. The creation of Christopher Brossius, CB I Hate Perfume crafts individual scents for the discerning gentleman (and woman), which are produced and bottled in Brooklyn.
Christopher’s favourite smells as a child growing up in the country were dirt and dandelions, vegetable gardens, walks in the woods, snow, wet rocks and cookies – so it seems appropriate that today he bottles earthy, rugged aromas within his unique perfume label. The name CB I Hate Perfume was inspired by Christopher’s time working as a taxi driver in the 1980s, when women would get into his cab drenched in ghastly scents. And so he has gone on to create artistic, alcohol-free, traditionally made colognes for men and women.
You can find a selection of CB I Hate Perfume at Dirtbox, including the In The Library scent – a warm blend of English novels, Russian and Moroccan leather bindings, worn cloth and wood polish.
