Jailhouse hooch. Distilled in toilets, this vintage is comprised of chow line droppings, including oranges, apples, ketchup, and sugar.

First off, I just love the little jailbar label on this bottle. Lol

Bottle: Very FIZZY sort of fruits. Like, super carbonated slightly orange soda. Cool, no ketchup in sight…

Wet: I can’t get over how fizzy this feels. I smell a lightly sweetened orange and a mega dose of “fizzy” whatever note that is. :P Its like a carbonated party punch. There also seems to be a light floral component…almost jasmine like, but not doing the horrible things that jasmine usually does on me. I know no florals are listed…but…maybe the jail’s toilet cleanser? LOL

Drying: All of the above applies, still. But I think I’m getting a bit of a cool piney note. Fizzy orange pine soda. Again, the piney thing makes me think there’s a toilet cleanser note in this as a joke. Hehe. (reminds me a bit of knecht rupbrecht) Fades fairly quickly to a faint fruit fizz.

Overall: A very awesome joke. And a pleasant enough scent, but not something that I can see myself really wearing. Onto swaps! Edited by jewelbug

Oh bugger.. I'm getting all the 'distilled in toilets' bit and none of the good stuff. I bought this via a sales post here on the forum - I read the reviews first and saw "fizzy orange" and mentions of The Hamptons and I thought ooh.. sounds delicious!

 

Then I get my bottle. It certainly is an eccentric blend of interesting notes, but do I like it? Uhhh.. no. Sadly, this is really sour and rank and nasty on my skin. I left it on for about 45 minutes, hoping it would improve, but I had to go wash it off.. it was actually hurting my nose and making me feel a bit sick - it didn't smell very nice at all. Buh-bye Pruno, I'm sure someone out there is going to love you, but it ain't me.

Ah Pruno. You do smell like bad alcohol. Kinda like college made jungle juice.

 

If you made it in a TOILET.

 

There's a distinctive toilet cleanser/urinal cake superclean fume that is attached to the fruity alcohol.

 

Not the type of scent I'd wear, but damn... this does smell like jailhouse hooch!

Slightly fruity, with a sour note to it in the imp.

On my skin it smells.. almost floral. Very perfumey, generic, with a hint of.. bathroom cleaner. Ugh, not for me.

I was hoping for fizza orange soda. Instead, I got fizzy vinegar. :cry2:

In the imp: Oh dear, I smell ketchup. :S

 

Wet: It's not so bad wet. Quite sweet and floral, with a hint of booze. Mostly orange.

 

Dry: Kind of reminds me of toilet cleaner. Ew.

Fruit cocktail comes immediately to mind on application. I do get a whiff of ketchup in the background... happily that does not linger. The end result is fizzy fruit.

In the bottle it seemed a little cleaning product citrus, but not awfully so.

I smeared a bit across the back of my hand and got a lot of citrus which quickly seemed like lemons and then (I'm not kidding) soap. Like liquid citrus hand soap. After a few minutes it has lightened up considerably and seems on its way to fading off fast. Weird.
