Revelries

Oh man, what a scent. Revelries is what you expect it to be. You see notes like Rum, Clove, Cinnamon and immediately think of the holidays. The beauty of this scent is that it's truly not just a sweet and spicy fragrance. Yes, the Rum adds a vanilla like sweetness. The Clove and Cinnamon add that fall spice feel that you expect from a fragrance like this. What really comes through and blends it all together are the fruit notes you get from the Raisin and Green Apple. This was revised in 2023 and the increase of Green Apple takes it from just being a spiced rum type of fragrance and turns it into a fruity spiced cider. Any time I have ever worn this I have received at least one compliment from someone. It lasts all day. I applied this at 8:30 in the morning and was still able to smell it rather prominently on me around 6:00 in the evening. It doesn't have the kind of projection that will scream in peoples faces but if you apply this in the right places you're going to have the most delicious scent bubble than you will not ever want to leave. This is a scent that absolutely leans into the Fall and Winter months but I could definitely see this having a place as a year round fragrance. It's very unisex in my eyes and toys on the line of being a gourmand while still maintaining its profile as a conifer. I cannot recommend this fragrance enough.

Revelries is impressive: a potpourri scent that I actually want to wear!! The opening is a boozy clove tobacco sweetened by apple. Cinnamon joins in and is beautifully balanced in the mix, it doesn't overwhelm like it usually does for me, leaving room for apple-clove-tobacco to shine. Another interpretation I get is a comforting mulled cider with a smooth tobacco making it less Edible and more Wearable. The third act is a light cider projection with deep clove sitting close to the skin. I love that the scent bubble has layers! It's what I hoped Apple and Tabac would be. Really gorgeous. I just want to add - Pineward does apple SO well. Apple and Tabac was too sweet and like a dusty potpourri to my nose but apple wasn't the issue. And Akero (new I think?) is the perfect Mackintosh apple, bright red and juicy, with autumn spices and oud as supporting players. Looking forward to testing the rest of my samples.

This is one of my top three Pineward Perfumes, and one of my favorites from the fall collection. A brilliant, spicy cinnamon and clove is complimented by a gorgeous, boozy rum and woody base. This feels like a crisp fall night, with a crackling fire and a mug of hot apple cider. This feels boozy and spicy, but also grounded and sweet. A very slight nuttiness from the hazelnut adds that final touch to compliment the other aromas. This feels so cozy and spicy, and I can absolutely see myself buying a full bottle of this for the next fall when I have more room! An absolutely lovely offering from this amazing perfumery.

One of my favorite Autumn fragrances is Revelries from Pineward Perfumes...it's a complete joy to wear. It is also an amazing Winter perfume as well, so I'm able to enjoy it for many months in a row. As described, it does fit well in a cozy sweater setting, or during the holidays as well. Warm, comforting, spicy brew that is a dear companion and friend to me this time of year. Highest recommendation for Revelries!

I don't know how to describe this scent other than smelling like a simmering pot of potpourri. It's like if that smell of craft stores during the winter holidays wasn't weird and artifical. I got this as a freebie and didn't expect to like it because the Pineward website mentioned it had notes of raisin, but I'd say it's less like the stereotypical grape raisin and more of a general dried fruit smell.
