Mid Brain reports:
In one of the oddest stories I’ve heard in a while, Kate Moss admitted that she thinks gasoline is one of the best scents in the world. According to the report I read at CosmeticsDesign.com (which I have to assume is partially tongue in cheek) she is considering creating a gasoline-inspired perfume. This started me wondering what perfumes would cost if we bought them like we do gasoline – by the gallon!
Velvet Hour by Kate Moss
Description: With her new fragrance, Kate invites you to be part of her Velvet Hour, a brief, precious moment as dusk settles, when the air is electrified with possibility. It is all about entering an intimate, almost ritualistic moment of intense sensuality and seduction.
Cost per ounce of fragrance = $40/ounce
Cost if it was a gallon of gasoline = $5,120/gallon
Angel by Thierry Mugler
Description: Evokes the emotion of tender childhood memories together with a sense of dreamlike infinity. (But then again, don’t we all?)
Cost per ounce of fragrance = $90/ounce
Cost if it was a gallon of gasoline = $11,530/gallon
No. 1 by Clive Christian
Description: Does it really matter?
Cost per ounce of fragrance = $2,150/ounce
Cost if it was a gallon of gasoline = $275,200/gallon
The Beauty Brains bottom line
Hmmmm, I think it’ll be cheaper to build the world’s first hydrogen powered car rather than use perfume as gasoline!

I’ve heard worse. If people make heavenly perfumes out of civet, they can manage anything.
I’ve always liked the smell of gasoline; when I was a kid I’d stick my head out of the car window at the gas station. My behavior is a little more discreet now, but I still like the stuff. I’m happy to hear I’m not the only one, since my husband thinks I’m nuts in this regard.
I wouldn’t go so far as to dab some behind my ears, though.
