If you didn't get a chance to visit your hometown's local watering hole this holiday season, you can still transport yourself there with Miller High Life's Dive Bar-Fume.
Just as the name suggests, the Dive Bar-Fume is an actual fragrance that manages to capture the familiar scent of a dive bar – from the aroma of a freshly opened beer to the savory smell of bar snacks. More specifically, the fragrance is made up of Cedarwood & Patchouli (capturing that woody bar top scent), Tobacco & Leather (the smell of worn-in barstools), Champaca Blossom (the distinctive smell of Miller High Life), and Sea Salt (fried bar snacks like French fries).
The High Life Dive Bar-Fume officially made its debut in early December 2024.
