I was surprised at how much I liked the smell in the air when my friend sprayed it on. I could smell it from about 6 feet away. In my experience that was the best way to enjoy it. My only qualm was that up close on my skin it has a bit of a spit smell in there among the lavender. This alone was enough for me to sell it. Oh well, it’s worth a try, but IN NO WAY did this smell like Bowling Green. If you read that it does, don’t believe it. It’s pretty one dimensional masculine lavender. I don’t know why they had to put so much dye in it either. Just make the bottle green.
