Lime Cola

First wearing of one of Pineward Perfumes’ most recent releases, Lima Cola, and it’s a bold, light-meets-dark sort of cola blend, mixing in fresh, effervescent lime with cola, rum, and sugar, playing against a hearty underpinning of ginger root, spices, and what almost smells like oud. The brighter, lighter elements feel very much harmony with the heavier, darker elements, and there’s this interesting balance throughout that makes the perfume feel complete and thoroughly considered, a real testament to Nicholas Nilsson’s skill as perfumer/owner of the brand. It’s frankly an instant favorite from the line, and somewhat unique within the current catalogue. I enjoy cola both as a beverage and in perfumery and revel whenever a perfumer attempts to capture a different side of it, and in Lima Cola, something special as achieved, as this sort lime/ginger/resin expression is a different twist form other perfumes that emphasize the caramelization, effervescence, or other qualities. This lands for me as rum-cola-sugar meets ginger-oud-spices, elegantly put together. I’m not certain of its concentration but I imagine it’s EDP or extrait, with pricing that largely matches most of the catalogue, albeit with slight tweaks to bottle sizes from the last time I looked $130/80/20/6 for 52/32/4/2ml, so a nice variety and reasonable pricing for high-performing, high-quality juice. I’m long overdue to buy some bottles from this brand, which was launched in 2020, and I’m confident that Lime Cola is one of the first bottles I should buy. 8 out of 10

I have to say I absolutely love this scent. I can kind of see where people can't really pick up the cola scent and smell some other components, but overall, I think this nails that scent of a syrupy fizzy drink topped off with deep cherry and yummy lime. It does seem strange that this does comes from a Pineward fragrance of all houses but I think it actually works really well. It's a fresher spin on the overall cloying sweetness of a cola drink by adding a citrus that'll perk up every now and then, retreat into the sweet caramel/cinnamon/rummy drink that is this fragrance. As the fizz dies down it kind of melts into a sugary, spicy, woody, and strangely incense scent profile with a lingering citrus, almost like the ghost of the lime in the opening still hides within it. I love cola, and that might be a very strong reason as to why I love this scent. I also absolutely love Pineward fragrances, so when I saw this, I NEEDED it.

off the opening the bitter orange, lime, and ginger mash together and create this kind of.. toilet cleaner smell.. but it doesn’t take long before it settles into that lime cola smell it’s supposed to be. the lime in it is really loud and i actually love it, really unique. part of me wishes it was a bit less spicy, but i do understand what they are going for, and the spice does make it more a year rounder than just a summer fragrance. i do think that the whole cola aspect dies off a couple hours in, but it’s still nice and citrusy all the way through. edit: my sister said it smells like Haribo Cola gummies and now i can’t unsmell it

Pineward's most recent addition to their summer collection, Lime Cola smells like a photorealistic homemade cola with a lot of lime juice and zest, it also reminds me of gourmet sour cola gummies. It’s mouthwatering sour, citrusy, effervescent and just sweet enough. I’m normally not too keen gourmand fragrances but this one in particular holds a special place in my heart. Longevity and sillage is amazing, perfectly unisex scent, price is reasonable for the quality ($130 for 52ml bottle) Just like the rest of Pineward's summer collection scents, this is usually only in stock for purchase June-August, so get yours while you can.

This fragrance is amazing! Just got a 32ml, blind bought it, and another successful blind buy! I’ve never been familiar with pineward as a niche collector, I’ve always heard of it but never tried it. Until I tried lime cola. This fragrance is an amazing amount of Coca Cola, lime, and cinnamon, such a great scent! Perfect for all seasons day and night! Would recommend, 10/10 scent and is beautiful Longevity and silage is excellent great 10-12 hours with 3-4 ft projection, 3-4 sprays max!
