Aptly named sweet, fruity, spicy blend with fir balsam
Pineward Perfumes Christmas Wine is, I believe, a seasonal offering from this 2020-launched house out of western US whose inspirations mainly include the outdoors and particularly pine trees.
Christmas Wine is yet another example of a great mix of woody, spicy, sweet, and resinous elements, with a note listing of cranberry, plum, blood orange, cloves, nutmeg, fir balsam. So it’s plenty fruity, a quite sweet, a bit tart, with significant woody underpinning, dense and dark enough that, like most of the house’s offerings, it’s clearly better for colder weather and in line with the current winter season in the northern hemisphere.
The juice is dark and strong, as, with other releases from the house, Christmas Wine is compounded at a extrait concentration, 30%+, reminiscent of Slumberhouse releases, and similarly, I would liken this scent in particular (as I did with another) to the stewed fruit aspect of Slumberhouse Baque and Mond, albeit somewhat better than Baque but in a comparable style to both scents.
The pricing is fairly consistent with the rest of the line, as well, with a newer, larger size having been made available, seemingly for all scents in the catalogue: $220/128/80 for 57/37/17ml.
I continue to by impressed by Pineward’s offerings, loving the vast majority of the fragrances I’ve sampled, and I still have some more to go.
