Pijnboomhars (akkoord)

I’ve worn this on a crisp morning walk and the resinous, sticky-sweet opening lingers just long enough before softening into something almost woody. It’s artistic without being pretentious, and a single spray lasts through my whole workday.

The pine sap opens resinous and sticky-sweet rather than like a cleaning product, which is exactly what I wanted. It wears close to the skin for a couple hours before fading, so I dab a little extra on my wrists.

I expected something sharp and astringent, but this accord is softer and stickier — like resin actually drying on bark. It stays close to the skin for hours without turning into a candle shop. Genuinely artistic stuff.
