Unique scent
Pine in the Sun is the first sample of eight I have from Scents of Wood. Having been on a sample testing binge with a dearth of anything new or unique, I was pleasantly surprised with Pine in the Sun. It's definitely unique and unlike anything I've smelled before. It's rather linear but outside of mellowing out a bit and the slight change noted below, it's pretty much the same from beginning to end.
So, what does it smell like? The main accord I get from it is "green". It's definitely a green scent with an interesting balance of resin and spice. The green here is vegetation - leaves and such, not conifer, pine or Christmas tree. As it dried down and mellowed out there was a very slight fougere hint. Could that be from the oakmoss and lavender? Maybe, but it's very subtle. All in all, very unique for my nose.
Performance was decent. It's not a stink bomb, but lasted about 9 hours for me. Projection was more modest after about the first 30 to 60 minutes.
My verdict - let me first give you a suggestion. If you find my description above intriguing, get yourself a sample and try it. For me, Pine in the Sun didn't work for me somehow. I didn't really care for the combination of green, spice and resin. Just didn't sit well with my nose. Nevertheless, I have to give credit to Scents of Wood for coming up with an interesting fragrance.
