2AM Diner Coffee

[doomsday_disco]

The scent of a too-big mug of coffee at your favorite all-night diner after the clubs let out: a slow ribbon of clove smoke, the warm fry-oil haze that clings to everything, and a fleeting gust of maple syrup drifting through the booths.

Black.coffee, absolutely. With syrup and the ghost of burnt hash browns lingering. On remembering that there’s clove I can smell it.

 

I prefer Hearse of Pancakes which is milder with a touch of doughnut and no greasy spoon vibe.

 

Trying this layered with Black Coffee and Apple pie to see if I smell like a Twin Peaks diner.

 

Edit: someone asked me if I was wearing scent with this one and said “no, that doesn’t smell like coffee.” That clove smoke has quite a throw

On application, a delicious blast of black coffee with something like leather.  Soft clove.

After 5-10 minutes, it smells like cloves mixed with the kind of cigarette smoke that I've smelled on my friend's clothes. I'm not sure what brand he smokes.  I don't love it because it's a bit bitter. There's some sweet maple syrup in the background that gradually appears faintly.  However, I think it's mostly clove on me.
