Snif's Dead Dinosaur fragrance is an unusual one that gives off a scent that's described as an "ode to the addictive smell of gasoline, garage hangs, and simpler times." Pink pepper, ginger, magnolia flower and davana are some of the inclusions in the fragrance, as well as gasoline accord. Notably, the fragrance does not contain any actual gasoline but its likeness is uncanny.
This new scent by Snif is the latest addition to its sub-brand Secret Menu, which specializes in unusual and anti-traditional fragrances. As Snif co-founder and co-CEO Bryan Edwards says, "When working with a smell as high-pitched and pungent as a solvent or gas, what you do is use pleasant smells that are completely opposite, but with a similar volatility to make the overall scent more palatable."
For those who can't get enough of the scent of Snif's Dead Dinosaur fragrance, there's also the option to purchase an air freshener with the same aroma.
