Forest Riot

This is as close as you can get to a realistic pine tree scent. They captured the sap and needles so well that sometimes I think my hands are covered with them and I instinctively get this feeling my hands are all sticky. It doesn't project as much, being that the brand has a very clean, sauna/wellness mythos, but it does stay on my skin for quite a while. For that price, it is an amazing option for any forest lovers.

Walking through a forest of Christmas trees - a dirtless, floating forest of Christmas trees. There is no ground. Or perhaps when a fresh Christmas tree has been placed in your living room, a few days in and the needles start to fall on the laminate flooring - the room is filled with mesmerising but cozy, pure scent of pine. Beautifully simple, and strong. I love it.

Finally I found it. Scandinavian forest. Spicy pine tree. Photorealistic. Affordable. Very close to SKOG handcream from Skandinavisk.

This smells exactly like you'd imagine reading the notes - Like taking a good whiff of a handful of fresh needles right off the tree. It is an incredibly accurate, strong smell and those familiar with forests dominated by coniferous trees will immediately recognize this scent. It's a very straight-forward and linear fragrance with decent lasting powder and a reasonable amount of sillage. If you'd like to smell like a tree, this'll absolutely satiate that need.

Spicy pine. Spicy like cinnamon (but not like muffins), and pine like a blend of all the body of a pine tree. Wood and sap and needles and the air about it. Unfortunately I couldn't get more than an hour out of it on my arm, may you have better luck. I was totally up for buying it except I can't abide that longevity. I will return my attention to Pineward perfumes.
