Hay, chocolate, raisin, resinous mostly-gourmand
Sampling Pineward Perfumes Hayride, a late 2022 release, a dark, gourmand-leaning composition from the line, only slightly woody, partly resinous, somewhat spicy, with a healthy rich blend featuring hay, chocolate, raisin, cardamom, tonka, and oakmoss. Such an interesting blend right off the bat, and to make my usual Slumberhouse comparisons, somewhere between the pepper cacao of Ore and the stewed fruits and resins of Baque. This is also vaguely reminiscent of some other entries within the Pineward line but this, to my recollection, has a darker character overall than most of the gourmand-leaning entries, with excellent performance, like Gristmill, which I sampled yesterday.
Like the rest of the line, Hayride is sold via the house website at bottle prices of $205/135/80 for 57/37/17ml, so by no means cheap, but very much on par with other high-quality, high-performing niche entries. I simply have the problem of loving too many of the house’s scents to choose, and I’m overdue to retry many of them.
