Miller High Life, known for its beer often affectionately referred to as the "Champagne of Beers," has ventured into the aromatic world of colognes with a scent that could only be released just in time for the holidays, the "Dive Bar-Fume." So, if you've ever wanted to bottle up an unforgettable night at your local dive bar, complete with last calls and sticky bartops, dreams do come true, and it only costs $60 per bottle. Described as the ultimate olfactory homage to dive bar lovers everywhere, Dive Bar-Fume combines notes of cedar and patchouli, meant to evoke the nostalgic aroma of bar counters that have seen better days. It also features tobacco and leather for that "well-worn bar stool" ambience. To create a truly well-rounded dive bar narrative, they've crowned it with hints of sea salt, reminiscent of a greasy basket of fries and popcorn, not to mention champaca flowers that audaciously claim to recreate the smell of Miller High Life itself. Finally, a fragrance that really lets you smell like it's time for last call on the Lower East Side. In a bold move to really bring that divey spirit home for the festive season, the description notes, "High Life brings that dive bar scent you know and love into your home with High Life Dive Bar-Fume just in time for the holidays. Happy high life living." The aroma is one of the latest in a series of seasonal offerings from the Champagne of Beers store, which includes an array of beer-themed stockings and Christmas ornaments just perfect for the beer-lover with a taste for the absurd. Social media reactions, of course, did not disappoint. Comments on Instagram ranged from genuine delight to cutting satire. "This has been my signature scent for 7 years," one self-proclaimed dive bar aficionado quipped, while another sly commenter asked, "Does it smell like shattered dreams?" With dialogue like this, it's clear that the Dive Bar-Fume has hit an unexpected nerve with a community appreciative of life’s more aromatic pleasures. Love it or hate it, Miller High Life has managed to carve a niche for dive bar scent-enthusiasts and has people talking, laughing, and possibly coughing as they test the boundaries of what exactly can be constituted as a fragrance. This is one gift sure to leave an unforgettable impression under anyone's tree this year, spreading the jovial scent of a good ol' night out at your nearby watering hole. But beware, wearers of this cologne might need to fend off unsolicited questions about where the nearest jukebox or dartboard might be located. Happy High Life indeed.
