Fresh, marine, woody alternative to most of the house's darker stuff
Sampling Icefall, one of the more recent releases from Pineward Perfumes, and notable in its lighter/brighter juice color, relative to the generally-dark shades of reddish brown that comprise most of the house’s offerings.
Icefall, as expected, is a bit fresher, still a familiar mix of woody notes but with some citrus, as well. The full note list is white grapefruit, blue cypress, maritime pine, juniper, nootka, cedar, sandalwood, and seaweed. So in addition to freshness, there is marine quality to it as well. So it’s fresh, woody in a pine/spruce sort of way, and a bit marine, very agreeable, mainly with the “icy” sharpness in the brief opening before drying down to something more pleasant and agreeable.
Performance is modest, and while the scent is fairly inventive, without being the dark, robust, super-strong juice of most of the house’s other releasing, the standard pricing ($220/128/80 for 57/37/17ml) seems a bit more difficult to justify, but it’s nice that the house has Icefall in its catalogue, very much in contrast to the rest of the line.
