When I saw this bottle online:
Attachment 19035
I thought to myself, "Jesus Del Pozo! That's one weird looking bottle. I should buy that." But I would never just buy something because it has a strange bottle, so I read some reviews about it--and then bought it.
Online it looks like something that would host the Space Olympics (space luge is totally cancelled, btw) or a futuristic housing tenement in the once former now reunited Soviet Union (we can all dream, can't we?).
Up close, it looks like a gear from a Construx set or a little hand grenade that a child assembled from a Construx set which contains dangerous liquid.

The bottle's awesome. It totally looks like a cog, or sprocket, and you can roll it around on the table and it makes this satisfying clunky sputtering sound due to its cog-like ridges. It feels very hefty and durable.
As for the smell, it's like a mix of Cool Water and Hugh Parsons Blue, but it's smoother and lighter than both. I'd say it has the soapy, aquatic quality of Cool Water and the warm, spicy/herbal fruitiness of Hugh Parsons. But on top of that, it has a gin and tonic accord that really stands out and makes the fragrance fizzy and bright. There's also some light florals in this, and a fairly strong geranium note. I'm not sure about the base, because I don't think I'm there yet. Overall it smells clean, very smooth, and a little peculiar. I really like it.
Sorry for the rambling review, I just got this in about an hour ago, but was kind of excited to talk about it.
I don't know where you would ever run into this one, but if you do, you should definitely sample it.
