Nice fruity resinous liqueur with fruity and floral accents
Sampling one of the most recent couple of releases from Pineward Perfumes, Gluhwein, a more liqueur-leaning cousin to Christmas Wine, a rich, sweet blend of chocolate, resins, florals, and fruits, with a bit of a “stewed fruit” vibe along with some darker accents like the chocolate and resins, especially, in line with similar fragrances but not executed quite as well as Christmas Wine or perhaps one or two other items from the line. Still, Gluhwein is another welcome variation on a similar concept and one of the relatively few options from the house that does not lean heavily on pine-like notes. It’s great that the house has built out such an interesting catalogue featuring nuanced offerings with their own personalities that nevertheless belong in somewhat similar categories.
The pricing of Gluhwein is the same as the rest of the line, at $220/128/80 for 57/37/17ml, and as with most of the line, it performs very well, the dark juice projecting and lasting a while.
