Pine Cone Sack Attack

Pine sap and amber ashes.

This is just like getting the sticky amber sap of a Christmas tree between the seeds of pinecones and on your fingers, and as much as you try to get the sticky stuff off, you secretly don't want it to come off because it smells so good. That was me was a kid and now I'm wearing it as perfume.

I agree that Pine Cone Sack Attack is reminiscent of the sticky sap of a Christmas tree. My cousin invited my partner and I to attend a wreath-making class at a bar last month that involved clipping actual fir, pine, juniper, and cypress branches to assemble the wreaths. This reminds me of the pine and fir sap that got all over my hands while creating my wreath. While the amber lurks beneath the pine sap at first, it eventually gains strength and becomes the dominant note, backed by the pine sap. It reads as a golden variety of amber to my nose. 

 

I really enjoy the pine sap forward phase of this scent, and at first, I was bummed that the amber ended up taking over -- as I prefer my evergreen scents to stay evergreen-forward -- but this ended up growing on me the more I spent time with it, and I think this particular amber complements the pine sap note really well. I'll definitely be keeping my decant, and I plan on giving this a full-day slather to see if need a bottle.
