Made of pine trees... it invites you to dream..
With the last strokes of the sandpaper, over the soft pine wood, he is done.
He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and surrenders to the ethereal scent of resin and wood.
After letting the trunk of the old pine dry for a year, so that the fine resin could flow out and all moisture could dry off in peace,
he had now worked for 6 months on the light and strong-smelling wood.

Now he was finished, it has become a beautiful rocking chair, one of his best.
From the bed wafted the mild scent of wildflowers.
He tries sitting in the rocking chair for the first time.
Everything fits and nestles beautifully.
Now lost in that aromatic pine scent, he dreams away....

He sits on the veranda, holding a glass of gin in his hand, the spicy smoke of the slowly dying oak wood rising to his nose.
Singing from an old gramophone
Louis Daniel Armstrong "What a wonderful world."
The rocking chair squeaks slightly under the rhythmic rocking.

... then, he fell asleep....
******

Pine Barrens is a wonderfully powerful pine scented perfume.
As if a pine tree was squeezed and the juice along with the fibers was filled into the bottle.
Unfortunately, he keeps on my skin only about 3 hours clearly, before he then already skin close.
In the time he smells but quite passably at an arm's length away from the body.

*With a very heartfelt thanks to
Floyd :)

Certainly not hostile
When I hear the word "bars", I spontaneously think of the "Lord of the Rings", in whose original English version the term sometimes appears. There is always talk of rather unpleasant corners of Middle Earth, often devastated and/or dominated by dark powers.

Mr. Mathew Sabatino's'Pine Barrens', on the other hand, are a rustic but certainly not hostile environment - and I don't mean the concretely named landscape on Long Island (which I don't know anyway) but simply what the scent conveys. Anyway, no one has probably ever been beaten to death with a Soignon goat roll. Because with one of these,'Pine Barrens' opens. In some coniferous flavours there is a sour twist, which has something of goat cheese - so here too. And that is by no means to be understood negatively.

But soon other aromas dominate, the odd thought of the opening fades away. A sweetness, to which the announcement "flowers" really fits. There is honey from the coniferous tree including its own metal note as well as airy resin with a slight, bitter tinge. Later I am happy about a kind of nut, as I already know it from'Taiga Whispers' by Nimère and I haven't found out its secret yet.

Finally - sometimes the business economist peeps out from the accounts department - I may make another catch behind the "charred oak", although I find that this sounds much too martial, because it is merely an addition, a touch, as if it has burned somewhere in the distance. From noon it slowly becomes a little creamier and sweeter, however, always a needlewood-like aeration remains noticeable, while the scent gradually fades away.

I find the low silage remarkable, which, to anticipate this, applies to all Barnaby Blacks and is certainly astonishing for perfumes from the resin, wood and smoke direction. In style,'Pine Barrens' reminds me of one or the other euphorium Brooklyn, but the latter are much thicker, louder and almost uncouth in comparison. It is immediately obvious that Mr. Sabatino wants to capture atmospheric moods and not depict events. In this respect, the manufacturer rightly points out that the fragrances can be applied generously. Nothing should contradict that.

Is that perfume or room fragrance? The answer "perfume" comes to me - at least when limited to these alternatives - astonishingly easily. This must be due to the non-spatial approach. Of course, these are not classic perfumes.

Thank you Yatagan for the rehearsal.

Pine Barrens
It is quiet this morning as the world awakens. The air smells so clear that you look forward to your next breath. The needles under your feet crack with every step. Warming the ground, giving it protection. And food. The old pines sway in the wind. Gently. Hypnotic. Like a welcoming wave.

Instinctively, your fingers run over the bark. Tell you their centuries. Rough tank of life. And magic. You always come here when you want to feel your heartbeat again. Take a moment outside the loudness of time and just want to be. Under your tree you take off your shoes and sit barefoot, leaning against its trunk. The needles prick. And yet they welcome you. Your fingers run across the ground. And as you grab a fresh branch, you gently rub the green needles between your fingers and breathe deeply. This moment will not be the last. You will come back. Over and over again
In this case, Pine Barrens describes the scent of a sprawling gem on Long Island, which is part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Pineland National Reserve. Barnaby Black has dedicated his distillery to capturing the natural moods and scents of areas and places. For this purpose they collect plants, woods, mosses, resins ... just everything that composes the own scent of this nature in such a unique way.

Pine Barrens starts directly with a clear air note. Lightly ozonated, the fragrance immediately takes you into a cool morning. In the course of time, more and more green-resinous and slightly smoky chords establish themselves and weave an even, calm and in its form beautiful, because no frills, image of a pristine landscape, which despite the proximity to the metropolis, its green, romantic and rugged heart beats proudly.

Pine Barrens is a fragrance oil that can be applied generously to skin and hair and only requires some caution when wearing light-coloured clothing. It has a tendency to be almost viscous and when decanting into a small atomizer, a small pine needle ran out. You can imagine my happy smile, because of this discovery.

I like the fact that Barnaby Black uses simple, numbered glass bottles with dropper and tin lid and does not make a big bohemian fuss, but concentrates entirely on his fragrances and their ingredients. The super friendly contact to Mathew and his team is a real bonus on top. So he wrote me directly on my reservation for a fragrance that was out of stock, because he still had some leftovers.

I can recommend this fragrance to anyone who likes almost meditative, green-woody scents and wants to take a trip to Pine Barrens, from the living room. Or the office.
