What is Blue Expedite?

Written By Matthew B.G. King

In a city of ritual and occult ways that go back centuries, there is one scent that everyone agrees is the “go-to” when it comes to getting what you want out of life. Oleander, like magnolias and satsuma blossoms, have been pleasantly and profitably enjoyed by generations of New Orleanians. Is that love in the air, or is it just the scent of oleander? Sometimes, it’s both.

Blue Expedite Oleander Water Perfume is based on an old back-of-town recipe made fresh for the discerning tastes of today. For external use only, Blue Expedite Oleander Water will attract good things your way. Everyone you walk past will say, “Ah!”

Making America smell like New Orleans, Blue Expedite delivers on whatever it promises. Be careful what you wish for. In a world of pure imagination, you can count on Blue Expedite to get you through life’s rough spots. When you need a friend, Blue Expedite will be there.

If you can’t be in New Orleans tonight, put a dab of Blue Expedite Oleander Water Perfume behind your earlobes. Opportunity will come knocking at your door. The scent of oleander has unisex appeal. Everybody loves it. Follow your nose.

If you have ever smelled Florida water, this is the New Orleans version, which means it is better. DO NOT MIX THE TWO.

Original Blue Expedite Oleander Water Perfume is the toast of wards uptown and downtown and on the West Bank. From English Turn to Hollgrove, to the West End, to Pontchartrain Park; from the Rigolets to Black Pearl, and the Quarter to the Lake, nothing smells so good as a young man or lady wearing Blue Expedite Oleander Water. It smells so good, we write it on ever 5ml bottle. Pick some up today.

“Come Hither” Blue Expedite Oleander Water Perfume. “Come Hither” is the same as our original recipe. It comes in the same bottle. It is the exact same thing. We offer it twice because, sometimes, you need a double shot of “come hither” to get the point. If you are thinking you could use some, you’re right. Get it now.

“The Zinger.” This blend of Blue Expedite Oleander Water Perfume is daringly different. It has a little extra zing. That’s where the name comes from. The first mention of “the Zinger” was in in the 1920s, according to the Historic New Orleans Collection. Our blend today is descended from the oleander waters that were popular in the 1960s. Order some today and you’ll be whistling by week’s end.
