Treehouse Royal

TR begins with a FRESH blast of tart bergamot (not listed here, but on the box, and I smell citrus but no pear), delicious fig and some spicy, leafy features along with MOSS. The moss isn't dusty, fusty or musty! It's lovely! I'm really, really into it. This is hands down, one of the BEST openings I've ever experienced. Ever. Some people are complaining about the moss...but I'm from freaking Washington state. Moss is as common as grass here...maybe moreso. Fresh moss isn't gross like most people assume, it's fresh and very clean, but it definitely is *green*. The issue with this is a vexing issue with this brand in general, they just need to use better fixatives or something (I'm not sure, I don't claim to be a perfumer or expert), because these perfumes die way too quickly. Even this one, which is a little heftier than the others I've tried. It becomes a soapy (but still very pretty and fresh) skin scent in an hour or two, even on clothing. The weird thing is, I'm ready and willing to entirely forgive that, because this is SO good. I think the cassia, fresh figgy/fruity tones and the delightful moss is so perfectly balanced, I can overlook the performance in this case (I wouldn't even bother bringing it up if Pinrose frags were EDTs or EDCs, but they're EDPs and you pay EDP money). Some might equate all of this with autumn, but in my neck of the woods (literally), moss and fresh air is at large NOW on spring. This is so naturally clean and beautiful, it's the very olfactory song of springtime 💚 Spring...in the Pacific Northwest! 😍🌿🌲

I definitely got a lot of citrus here. I'm not sure I get the fig, but I may just not know what fig smells like. This is also the only mossy fragrance that I like so far. I like how it's not too sweet like most popular and recent perfumes. While I may not be able to pick out all the notes, I do know that this is my favorite fragrance at this time. It's really nice when it's cold out (wore it in New York during those arctic temperatures this winter), but I'm sure it'll be great in warm weather too. UPDATE: I have just discovered that the mystery "citrus" note was actually the cassis, which I had never smelled before (I figured this out by eating a blackcurrant-flavored jelly bean, out of all the ways I could have). I don't get the cat-urine quality that comes up a lot when people talk about cassis. Instead, it just makes me smile.

Treehouse Royal by Pinrose is a more refined and elegant version of the Pear Glace scent by Victoria’s Secret. The three words I think of with this scent are Green, Earthy and Woodsy. It evokes memories of early morning walks in the country. The soil is dark and moist. There’s dew on the grass and the smell of blooming flowers fills the air. Upon application, I am able to l smell the sweetness of the ripe fig and pear notes tempered with the sharpness of the fig leaf. After about 1 hour, the violet and jasmine notes become prominent. Mid-day (about 5 hours after the initial spray), I notice the warm, boozy musk-y notes from the vetiver and moss. The note list says bourbon vanilla but this smells like rum. This is just a lovely scent to me. Great for days when I want to project my inner Earth Goddess.

This one is a signature fragrance for me. I mostly get moss and vetiver from this one, and though the fig is present, I would not call this a fruity fragrance. It's earthy while also being a little sweet. If the violet is at all powdery, it's masked by the moss and vetiver. Treehouse Royal is a perfect name; it smells like a fairy princess who lives in a forest would smell. Granted, I am very biased for this one because it contains four notes I absolutely love: fig, violet, peony, and moss. My overall impression of this one is that it's unique without being too weird, and it could work for any season, day or night.

At first spritz it’s a bit too green for me, but it settles down to a wonderful fresh scent that I love! I put some on my wrists and while I drove ( air conditioner was blowing on my arms) I was trying to figure out where the great scent was coming from, then I remembered I had put this on! It’s too pricey but I have repurchased.
