Hearse of Pancakes Atmosphere Spray

[Jenjin]

There’s still a little time to kill before the viewing… surely it wouldn’t hurt to stop for a short stack? Black coffee, syrup-drenched buckwheat cakes, and a crusty cruller for the road.

SO GOOD, full stop. No hint of the hearse here. You didn't pull over for a chain breakfast. You stopped at a secret artisinal foodie's breakfast cafe where they stone-grind their own buckwheat and distill cauldrons of tree sap for house-made syrup. The boiling sweet steam perfuses the French roast.

 

I actually sweeten my coffee with sorghum molasses instead of sugar. It brings a caramelized, smoky sweetness that I swear I smell in (i)HoP. I also smell the earthy, mineralic buckwheat, a generous pour of syrup, a pinch of pie spice, and a hint of buttery fried dough. It's rich and nutty and nuanced, and I've drenched my bathroom in it. It's not like any of the other "foodie" blends I can recall - it fits with the medieval vibes of Labors of the Months.

This is a breakfast to die for. It reminds of me of those times when I've stayed at a hotel and used it as an excuse to grab everything semi-forbidden for breakfast, especially a fluffy stack of syrup-drenched, butter-slathered pancakes, except the syrup here isn't the imitation stuff but that elusive dark maple syrup you can really only find at farmers' markets a way off. The steaming mug of black coffee next to that plate is definitely not decaf. As if this isn't enough, a donut fresh out of the fryer has been sneaked in there as well, and it makes itself known. Hearse of Pancakes almost makes me want to be a morning person. Almost.

I was hesitant about this one because maple syrup and I don't really get along. Too sweet for me. But I decided to give it a try anyway. 

 

General Impression: Very sweet, rich, gourmand. 

Notes I can smell: Bitter-sweet coffee, fluffy pancakes, butter, maple syrup, and a light cinnamon sprinkle. 

 

As expected, this is a very sweet scent. However, there is less syrup and more coffee than I had anticipated, which helps to cut the sweetness a bit. I would say the coffee is the strongest note (and it is a strong coffee). A pat of butter melts over the pancakes, blending in with the maple syrup. Delicious and very realistic, truly smells like I could actually stick a fork in them. There is also a hint of cinnamon coming from somewhere. Very mild though. 

 

At first I thought one bottle would be plenty. After having used it a few times, I'm gonna need at least two. If I were more into super sweet gourmands, this would be a panic and buy ALL the bottles type situation.

I initially didn't order this because I was wary of the syrup (I haven't been loving maple scents over the past few years), but the reviews, especially SurrealReality's review (as a fellow non-maple syrup scent lover), swayed me, and I decided to blind bottle it before the Weenies were taken down from the website.

 

I'm glad the reviews made me give this a chance. The syrup in this does not smell like most maple syrups. It is really dark and somehow not cloying. The buckwheat pancakes aren't overly buttery. The coffee lingers in the background, reading more as a creamy coffee to me than a black one, but perhaps that is the cruller note mingling with it (I get the glaze of the doughnut more than the doughnut itself). It smells delicious and is such a realistic foodie scent that smelling it makes me hungry.  

 

Every single hearse atmo that I tried last year was amazing (I tried all but two from the collection). I'm really glad I grabbed a bottle of this before it went away!
