Red fruits and Chocolate chunk

Gluhwein is a kind of German mulled wine.
Built on the structure of Christmas Wine with an extra "twist."
Compared to its sibling here there is less of a fruity-syrupy side due to the addition of frankincense and champaca, but mostly chocolate! Very rich a D realistic semi-dark chunk of chocolate!
Overall, it does not turn out too sweet.
PS. Great juice color here too!

Red fruits and more

This blend of fruits with prominent sweetness smells delicious.
It seems that we are smelling and tasting an ultra-concentrated fruit liqueur.
This is possibly the sweetest house perfume along with Chandlery or Christmas Wine.
Its smell is somewhat reminiscent of liquor because surely the way of processing the extracts used in the ingredients is very similar to what would be the production of these drinks.
For me it would be an absolutely gourmand perfume.

I would say that it is one of the easiest for all audiences to like and also the least original and personal of all the Pinewards.
It can be as versatile as a gourmand perfume can be, considering that it is extremely sweet and in a hot environment it could saturate if its potency and performance were higher.
But this is a natural perfume and in that sense it shows a moderate or low projection, although its duration on the skin is very good.

Winter Holiday Gourmand

This is a warm spicy gourmand that makes you think of baking for the winter holidays. This scent opened up really sweet with warm baking spices that are reminiscent of gingerbread. The middle notes hit and then you have all the red fruit that give a really jammy like quality to the scent. Underneath all of that, there is the note of fir that keeps this scent from being too sickly sweet. This scent projects really well and lasted over 6 hours on my skin, like the jammy sweetness is still there hours later.

Chocolate spice

Gluhwein is definitely heavier in terms of performance. What is the most detectable is lovely chocolate, spiced chocolate with a hint of vanilla, this acts like a sauce or syrup that stewed fruits are dipped in. Not only this is much more gourmand than Christmas Wine, also - yummy! Immediately makes me wanna eat what I’m smelling.

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.
