Dark pine resin type scent, not unique but well done nonetheless
Sampling Pineward Perfumes Fanghorn II, a pine/fir fragrance with listed notes include silver fir, moss, lichen, pine needles, wet soil, and damp vegetation. It’s woody, dark, resinous, a bit piney and green, and is effective as a standout fragrance in the approaching cooler weather in the northern hemisphere.
Fanghorn II has a reminiscently dirty pine resin vibe that draws comparisons (for me, at least) to Dasein Winter Nights and Slumberhouse Norne, which themselves lean woodier, darker, and dirtier than, say, the more barbecue-leaning smells of La Curie Incendo or Hendley Fume. This is a welcome family, but as with Cotswold, there is a familiarity that makes Fanghorn II a bit less distinct that some of the other entries, but this is a great entry in the line and a great fragrance to offer, as this will fit the bill for some, its dark juice filling a void for some fragrance fans currently out there.
And, in fairness, the standard Pineward pricing of $135/80 for 37/17ml is a bit lower than Slumberhouse’s, albeit higher than most of the other examples. Still, I probably owe Fanghorn II a side-by-side with Norne and Winter Nights to weed out some of the differences, but my conclusion is that Fanghorn II is also a great fragrance, like them, perhaps not quite as potent either but comparable, scent-wise, and worth smelling. I’ve really been pleased with everything in the sample pack so far.
