This unique, politically inspired fragrance is called POTUS 1600. It was launched to commemorate Barack Obama's historic run for President.
According to the website "the fragrance is a clean, refreshing blend of citrus, green leaves and marine notes formulated to insight Hope."
I think the most notable part of the fragrance is that it does not have skin-drying alcohol in it, which also makes it an environmentally-friendly as no alcohol molecules evaporate into the atmosphere.
Obama has brought Hope and the Prospect of Change to so many in the United States and around the world. Owning a fragrance that reminds us of that Hope and Change makes a nice commemorative gift or keepsake.
The company has no relations to Obama for America or any other political party or campaign.
