For men who don't have to work in an office — or who want to wash away that "office worker" odor when they get out!

A room filled with smoke where there is no smoke — only TOXIC with it's strong stench of tar and smoke, smoke and tar. But hold on now. That stink really isn't so bad. Perhaps we can call it an AROMA. It certainly IS a fragrance and guys CAN use it but it weeds out the dancers and prancers who can find their colognes at the mall. And the word "cologne" doesn't sound right for TOXIC. Too "perfumey." And while TOXIC is the far side of a safe aftershave (and you DON'T want to put it on your face!) it's more of a "body refresher" than it is a "cologne" or "fragrance" or "men's perfume." Colognes have their history and TOXIC isn't part of that. Colognes make use of a group of standard, old fashioned, acceptable-to-men aromas. TOXIC will have none of that. Colognes have a fine tradition of use by popes and presidents, warriors and waiters, but TOXIC will have not of that either. TOXIC is out there. One step forward in the revolt against conformity. A "terrorist tool" some might say. TOXIC is like blue spike hair, piercings, facial tattoos. It takes some mental adjustment. But if you get over the unusual initial impression you can begin to experience the full richness and beauty of TOXIC because, under its tar and smoke, smoke and tar, there are superbly crafted accords of exotic woods and spices, scents that inspire vibrant creativity, brilliant thinking and individuality. A lot of men will never live up to the TOXIC "image." But what about YOU?

Lester Frogge comments:

"TOXIC. My favorite. I love the smell of smoke. Campfires and marshmallows; hot dogs cooking, hamburgers and corn. Don't get me wrong — I don't EAT that stuff! But I love the aroma — it's so HUMAN ... so EXOTIC. No frog has ever created anything like it."

"But TOXIC is more than just a glorious scent of smoke. I love the woods and flowers that round it out into a beautiful woodland bouquet. Of course that's not the ONLY place you might find TOXIC. Some claim (and how would I know?) that TOXIC is a guy fragrance for the CAR set ... smoke and burning rubber ... racing gas ... dragsters, NASCAR, F-1, Indy cars, dirt track racers — even (very chopped) choppers."

"My mother claims that no woman in her right mind would be seen in the company of a man who uses TOXIC. But the only women my mother knew were prim and proper Garden Club Ladies. Ha! She would be "disgusted" by the kind of women who go after the man who is wearing TOXIC! Me, I got my taste from father, so I love the woman TOXIC men collect."

"Oh yes, this is what I get paid for. I'm supposed to give you that perfumer reviewer's description of TOXIC — the top notes, heart notes, base notes, etc. So my script reads, "TOXIC opens with a glorious burst of clove, spices and sharp woody notes which meld into a bright floral accord of orchid and lily of the valley (muguet), which in turn folds into an amber bottom note kissed by sandalwood and musk." I choke on the words; the fragrance I love."

"Now back to my pond."

"On a man? What man? Who would wear it? It's ... unusual. Maybe not horrible, but you've got to have a particular taste. And yes, you've really got to have an independent spirit."
"I love this one on a man. It's not wimpy or wishy washy. What's so amazing is yes, I can smell a floral note, but it's not a feminine floral — it's a guy's floral, like he just got crowned with flowers by beautiful young maidens for shipping the piss out of some really nasty creep."
"It took a little adjusting of the nose but now I'm really into it. I've worn the woman's version too and I don't give a damn what anything thinks!"
"What I like about it is it's a really original concept in a man's fragrance. It's strong — for a strong man. This isn't one the wife is going to buy you. A wife will hate it. This is the one that's going to attract anonymous strangers, naughty women, groupies and worse. Women a man can't resist."
"No how, no way, not a cologne, not a fragrance, just a smell — smoke and tar — just like they say. Like being in a smoke filled room and instead of getting it in your lungs, it just goes up your nose."
"I think this is a good fragrance, a real man's fragrance that's not like what most men have been wearing. It's not my personal taste but I give it credit for quality and originality and there are some men whom it would suit so perfectly."
