The Death of P
Grist mill, here without grain
Shredded wood everywhere you look.
Less grist mill, more sawmill
Wood store, saw blades, fresh wood, processed wood
The apprentice sweeps up the sawdust
Geppetto mucks out
Figures and Pinocchio are chopped up
The machines run, run hot
Oil, tree resins drip into the warm sawdust
Oil drips in and out of the machine
Warm, dark, heavy oil-like
Steam, smoke escapes the noisy machines
Aroma of charred wood residue
Creaking bushes around the factory
Sawmill would fit better
Wood of all kinds is processed
First comes mahogany
Warm, light wood varnish, straight for further processing
With a hint of essential oil
Next is walnut
Light, warm and shell-like
Walnut shell as aroma
In the drydown cedar is processed
Sometimes dark, sometimes light, typically aromatic
Gristmill, Sawmill
A pure creation of wood
Unworn, unprocessed in the change
Pure woodiness without frills
Without distraction of other dominance
Pinewood - not in this case
Only about mahogany and walnut
American, rough and wild
...
My first Pineward fragrance and definitely not my last. I'm a sucker for that rough woody aroma. Sawdust, cut boards and slight hints of wood varnish, oily woodiness and nutshell. The creaky character of the labdanum is perfectly embraced and not at all distracting. Amber gives just the point of creamy resinousness to give the fragrance that certain something. It may be an atypical Pineward due to the lack of green notes, but it is a perfect fragrance for a wood lover.
The first three hours are dominated by sawdust, mahogany and walnut. In the drydown, the cedar comes more into play and closes the fragrance. In the drydown, the scent also starts to become more mass-produced, but I don't want to see that as a negative point.
This is exactly how I imagined it. Pure, without many disturbing elements, a slight touch of resin that adds a hint of sweetness. Gristmill makes you want more. More tests of Pineward and in general this area of the niche, which I am almost completely unfamiliar with.
Postscript:
It feels like the drydown is a little different every time. Sometimes creamy-woody, sometimes a little ambery, the next time purely woody. Exciting.
