Pinecone (Accord)

I've never smelled a single accord that felt this complete — it's resinous and warm without turning sticky or sweet. Wearing it alone on a cold morning was honestly better than most full perfumes I own.

I expected something sharp and sappy, but this accord smells like resin and dry bark on a warm day, way more wearable than the name suggests. Wore it alone on a rainy afternoon and it lasted a solid five hours before fading to a skin-scent whisper.

I've been layering this single accord over my usual woody scents and it adds a dry, resinous sharpness that cuts right through. As a standalone wear it's a bit linear, but that's kind of the point of an accord, and it does exactly what it says it will.
