Semi-dirty, semi-spicy resinous woody blend. Leans dirtier than most Pineward offerings.
Sampling, Pineward Perfumes Brokilan, one of the house’s newer releases in late 2021. It is dark, woody, resinous, semi-spicy, and semi-dirty, with an official note list of black hemlock needles, larch cones, sandarac resin, momi, sandalwood, and Vietnamese Oud.
It reminds of a bit of a cross between Slumberhouse Norne and Dasein Winter Nights, dirtier than the but not as dirty as the latter, with a little less of the pine resin aspect than either, and probably a little less bite than either, overall. Still, it’s in their league in terms of scent profile, concentration, and quality.
Nonetheless, I prefer some of the entries in the house to it, while it is very good. Some slight redundancy is bound to happen when there are so many great fragrances under a similar umbrella of dark, woody, resinous, pine/spruce/fir-laden scents.
Brokilan in particular leans dirtier than most and spicier, though (there’s no sweetness), and I’d surely recommend sampling it, or, better yet, ordering a sample pack when the house is accepting orders again post-holiday break.
The pricing is consistent with the rest of the line’s updated pricing, at $220/128/80 for 57/37/17ml and like the rest of the line, is in extrait concentration.
