wilhelmscream Report post Posted October 9 This is one of my personal favorites. Last Halloween, when we introduced the Wild Hearses line as atmosphere sprays, I went through an entire bottle of Hiss & Hearse in a month and immediately ordered us a backup bottle (which I learned how to use *sparingly*). When I found out we were bringing the hearses back this year, but as perfumes, I was so excited to have a perfume version of this. It's always fun when Beth combines Dorian and Snake Oil together and I think this one is NEXT LEVEL. I love what the dirt and moss notes do to this perfume. The vanilla in both Dorian and Snake Oil seems to rise through, creating this dirty, mossy vanilla-tinged haze. Very earthy, very soft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmellsPrettyGood2Me Report post Posted October 13 Had to grab a bottle of this after loving the Atmo Spray from 2024 and am so glad to see it in wearable form!! I hemmed and hawed about how to review this properly, and decided to give impressions as a standalone scent first and then compare/contrast with the spray for those who may have tried it last year. In the bottle, the aroma of recently wetted soil is the first thing to hit my nose. It doesn't smell too dank or like decay, just fresh, clean garden dirt. Underneath is just the tiniest hint of vanilla and patchouli, but you really have to sniff hard to find them. Initial application on skin really causes that soil scent to bloom with a green, mossy brightness that I was honestly not expecting, coupled with what seemed like mostly Dorian along with it. I never really considered dirt as a top note, but it seems to be here, at least. The loamy tang starts to settle and then, 30 minutes in, I start to get a whiff of the Snake Oil. I am genuinely surprised at how simultaneously deep and bright it feels at the same time. It's an absolute banger, and in my mind strongly deserves a place in the permanent collection alongside all of the other Snake Oil flankers. Don't we deserve to smell like vanilla and patchouli flavored* dirt year round? That said and done, in comparison to the 2024 Atmo Spray, this is much more dirt and green moss forward in general, and most specifically in the first 30-45 minutes of wear. Because personal skin chemistry is likely a lot more variable when it comes to scent impression than the air around us (or maybe it isn't? what do I even know?), I would say that for me the perfume oil is more Dorian forward, whereas the spray seems to have Snake Oil as the dominant scent. If you love both OG scents and initially got the spray because of that, the only reasons you may not like the perfume oil as much are if 1) you like fresh soil, but not to this level of initial intensity in the open 2) your personal skin chemistry for some reason doesn't dig Snake Oil and Dorian competing for attention in a way that's unique to each one of us I will resist the urge to keep gushing over this for the sake of brevity, and urge you to try a sample of this to see for yourself how amazing it is. *I speak of olfactory flavor and not actual taste flavor. Do not eat or drink your BPALs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
