Reviews of Apple Tabac by Pineward Perfumes

There are 5 reviews of Apple Tabac by Pineward Perfumes.

I originally got a sample of this a year ago, right when the branch launched. I liked the idea of apple-tobacco, but was curious at how well it would be pulled off. I was pretty impressed at the realistic, juicy, apple note that came through when I sampled it. It was intense and probably the most apple-forward scent I had found — very autumnal and interesting.

Fast-Forward a year later, and I decided to revisit this one for the fall, with thoughts of buying a bottle. I was amazed at how much the scent had changed from what I experienced before. The apple was much more subdued now, and I got a very off-putting note that emerged and intensified as I wore it. Within an hour I had to scrub it off, but could unfortunately still smell that off-putting accord for hours afterwards. As a big fan of artisanal perfume, this is something that I rarely experience.

I’m giving this one a neutral rating, as an average of my two experiences. I’m not sure if the perfume just changed that much as it macerated for a year, or if my perception also changed a bit in that time. But regardless, I was thoroughly disappointed when I revisited this one.

Apple Tabac is my first sampling of the house of Pineward Perfumes, based in the Western US, which launched last year in 2020 but that I just discovered recently by chance, featuring many scents inspired the temperate forests of the region, curated by perfumer/owner Nicholas Nilsson.

Apple Tabac fittingly involves a lot of red apple, but not a ton of tobacco, immediately reminding me of apple cider and similar, spiced apple products (apple brandy, perhaps apple sauce), so very comforting, delightful, and mostly gourmand-like, with the notes of resins and dry fruits featuring prominently. It does not smell exactly like a food item, as the tobacco is part of the mix, but the blend is quite sweet and rich, and leans more toward a stewed / cooked apple vibe than a fresh apple, at least to my nose.

Apple Tabac pivots leans toward a daring, darker scent but in the scheme of cold-weather-evocative perfumes is fairly safe and agreeable, and I think that actually makes for a great introduction to a brand. Even those like me who adore a number of the darker, edgier scents of Slumberhouse or Hendley might nonetheless take comfort in Apple Tabac, as it hits the “stewed fruit with spices and resins” combination very effectively.

Performance wise, it’s quite strong and dense; I applied very little juice from the dabbers before a scent bubble was present, and I can fairly easily smell the fragrance on my neck and wrists more than an hour into wearing.

Apple Tabac (and every perfume in the catalogue) is priced at $135/80/20 for 37/17/4ml, with individual samples sold for each, as well the sample pack of all 11 scents (1ml each in dabber vials) for $45, which is what I bought.

Apple Tabac skips any detectable top notes on skin, moving directly to its highly linear heart progression. During the heart and continuing through the late dry-down the composition features a focal natural smelling slightly bright, fresh red apple, with an underlying celery accord. Projection is average and longevity outstanding at over 15 hours on skin.

What can I say? Apple Tabac was a complete surprise on my skin, and not a good one. I get no tobacco at all, and the apple, while very natural smelling — just as one might expect a freshly bitten into red apple does not smell like something that would mesh with tobacco even if it *was* there. Instead, I get an odd, celery-like supporting accord that I have to believe is actually the fir, that with this perfume is not playing well with my skin chemistry, as I can’t believe this was the intended effect. As is, it smells quite off-putting, and unfortunately the longevity performance metric is through the roof superb, which in this case is a bad thing as Apple Tabac is a major scrubber. The bottom line is the $128 per 37mm extrait concentration Apple Tabac swaps the intended tobacco for horrific smelling celery, earning it a «poor» 2 stars out of 5 rating and a strong avoid recommendation. One can only hope that this was just a skin chemistry issue that others will not encounter.

Introducing Pineward Perfumes, the New Fragrance House on a Conifer Quest
Fragrance Reviews

Nicholas Nilsson, 25, has launched a perfume brand centered around (but not completely limited to) coniferous scents, which is a feat considering the already-breakneck pace of his lifestyle.

Nick is currently finishing an undergraduate degree in kinetics, genomics, and biotechnology, with a side gig pruning shrubs for his school’s Grounds Department. He’s also an understudy for botany professors when not juggling the landscaping and lab work.

But if his new fragrance venture Pineward Perfumes owes its existence to anything, it is Nick’s fascination with all things rugged, natural, and piney – developed during childhood when his family would camp in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

“The Rockies were a pine heaven, and I’ve been infatuated with those woodsy smells since I was a kid,” he says.

Most of Nick’s perfumes are born out of imagining those times in the Rockies or other natural landscapes, conjuring accords he would want to smell in a perfume designed around that setting.

Let’s examine this budding independent house and its most distinctive work thus far.

When the Conifer Quest took root

Nicholas remembers sneaking into his parents’ bathroom to apply some of his father’s cologne before going out with friends – a ritual many emulate from their parents. But he didn’t realize that crisp, outdoorsy scent could be captured in fragrance until he encountered niche perfume years later.

The fragrance that sparked an initial interest was John Varvatos Vintage, a perfume he discovered after asking a department store sales assistant if she had anything that smelled like a forest.

“She painted this romantic picture of a campfire in the wilderness, and being so young, I was smitten by her description,” he says. “The perfume blew my mind. I took to the internet to explore more about eight years ago and that helped me recognize that perfumes could be so much more than what I thought they could be.”

Boreal’s initial blast of minty, piney, resinous, and airy notes are delightfully underpinned by vegetal and mossy ones. What I find most intriguing about this perfume is that it gives pine something to meld into: soft cedar envelops the more astringent aspects of sap, creating a memorable contrast of textures and temperatures.

Admittedly, I am one of those people for whom pine notes are often inextricably linked to floor cleaner, especially if that note is combined with citrus. Boreal forgoes citrus for a minty top note which is sweet yet piquant enough to make my mouth water. I never thought a pine fragrance could act as an aperitif, but Pineward proves me wrong!

Listed notes: pine needles, mint, cedar, resins, moss

Those familiar with January Scent Project’s origins know just what he’s talking about: it’s so easy to let one’s curiosity and imagination run wild with the wealth of fragrance marketing and note descriptions available to us on the internet. Endless rabbit holes exist for the curious smeller to nosedive into – which is precisely what Nicholas did.

Within a year or so, he read about Slumberhouse, creator of the legendary coniferous scent called Norne — a perfume often compared to a dark mythical forest and which I once called the olfactory equivalent of a Twin Peaks episode.

“I ordered a sample because the 160-dollar bottle at the time was way over my budget. I didn’t want to love it because of the price, but it became the fragrance which redefined what fragrance can be and the effect it has on my mood.”

The Guide to Coniferous Fragrances

Once he realized this, Nicholas started hoarding samples of the most piney, coniferous, or otherwise-outdoorsy fragrances he could find. He made a name for himself on forums for reviewing them en masse and providing detailed recommendations based on his thoughts.

“I was always curious about guides, seeing if reviewers had done the legwork already on Reddit, like the ‘Recommend me a Scent’ threads. I would frequent those threads, giving the same answers over and over again.

“Eventually I thought, ‘if people have a resource for this, they won’t need to ask so much.’ Piecing together those recommendations helped me form the Guide to Coniferous Fragrances.”

This pastoral offering brings wearers out of the forest and into the middle of a wheat, tobacco, and hop farm in autumn. Its fields are surrounded by fallen pine needles and hay bales, the latter’s dampness pervading throughout this perfume’s life on skin.

Tobacco leaves are unsweetened and even a bit musty. Prickly green vines and pallid brown branches lay in sepia tone between warm and cool seasons. The funk of hops hovers above a dense and syrupy maple base.

Listed notes: tobacco, hay, beeswax, barley, dried needles, poplar, hops, maple, and wisps of peat smoke.

From connoisseur to creator

It was around this time in 2017-2018 that Nick started experimenting with fragrance creation, wanting to educate himself on materials found in the scents he was recommending and rating for The Guide.

“I used to just mix perfumers alcohol with fir balsam – it may be weak, but it is a beautiful perfume on its own. I didn’t really start heavily experimenting until a year and a half ago.”

As an active forum contributor, Nick often participates in sample swaps. It was through one of these swaps he found out that one of his experiments was worth its salt.

“I sent a few packages to friends, slipping in samples of what I made with generic labels – not telling them who made it. I just wanted some blind, organic results.”

A friend in Australia asked him out of the blue, “what is this perfume you sent me? I can’t find it and it’s the best pine scent I’ve ever smelled.”

“I became more serious and started to research and experiment more. I invested in more materials and sought feedback from other friends, which was also better than expected.”

With a name reminiscent of Tolkien’s “Shepherd of the Trees,” Fanghorn is chilly and stark at first, demonstrating the creator’s deft hand with incense and mossy-tree accords. It develops into something I can only relate to a hot compress of pine sap, blackberries, and goat fir.

Fanghorn is the fragrance equivalent of a lone candle burning inside an empty alpine lodge. It conjures the primordial beauty of natural saps and vibrant greens paired with something much darker and almost intimidating.

Nicholas Nilsson is a “conehead” – a premier connoisseur of the coniferous – and that specific passion is most evident in this work. It’s an olfactive summation of all things Northern and outdoors.

Listed Notes: silver fir, moss, lichen, wet soil, and damp vegetation.

Fanghorn, a primeval forest perfume befitting of its Tolkienien name, is Nick’s crowning achievement to date.

“I don’t want to box myself in by making just coniferous things, but this represents everything the brand was founded on. It’s built around a beautiful silver fir absolute with every other material chosen to lift different aspects of that material. I’m most proud of it and wear it more than anything I’ve created.”

Why you should give Pineward Perfumes a try

Nick’s hard-fought campaign to launch Pineward is itself a respectable aspect of the brand. As a full-time student and one-man operation, he’s forced himself to learn how to run a business on the fly.

“Being a new business owner, everything costs more and takes longer than I think it will. I’m continuously learning how to do this. It’s difficult, but I do it because I love perfumery and especially coniferous perfumes. It’s a project I feel more passionate about than anything else I’ve ever done.

“I was hesitant to start my own line because I always hear about how saturated the niche market is. It put me off the idea for a while. But I don’t think there’s truly a saturation of people doing what they really care about. I’m not trying to sound judgmental or arrogant, but not all of the many perfume lines out there seem like they’re connected with an earnest, meaningful idea or passion.”

The COVID threat and what’s next for the line

In June of 2020, Nick came down with COVID-19 – a frightening occurrence for a perfume lover, never mind a perfume creator. He lost his smell for weeks, but when it returned, it was altered somewhat.

“In general, things smell like I remember. There are some smells now where they don’t smell quite right, like they’re a bit ‘off.’ I don’t know if that will ever clear up.”
But there was one upside to contracting the virus.

“Because I had it, I was able to donate plasma, and the money they compensated me donating COVID antibodies was what I needed to start up Pineward. It’s interesting that COVID took something from me but also gave me the funds necessary to start my business.”

An apple accord unlike any other – what an incredibly sharp, happy, lovely note Nicholas has created for Apple Tabac! Having been to many New England apple orchards, I can say with confidence that this note captures the airy tartness any apple note worth its skin should include.

The piquant fruit note rests on a cozy blanket of light tobacco, hay bales, resins, and a very unique “antique store” woodiness.

Listed notes: fresh red apple, tobacco, fir balsam, rum resin, dried fruits

Nick sometimes fears he doesn’t perceive his perfumes the way other people who never had coronavirus might. But by relying on his perfume friends – and a more neutral party, his wife – he feels his assessments are accurate.

Though those fragrances’ apothecary-style glass bottles have already impressed many buyers, Nick says he has to consider a different bottle design in 2021 to avoid leaks during shipping.

Also on the docket in the New Year: Eldritch, scent he calls spicy and bold, will make its debut in the near future.

One thing you won’t see from Pineward: inaccessible, “fear-of-missing-out” messaging.
“I really don’t like ‘FOMO’-style marketing. I understand limited quantities by necessity as an indie perfumer, that’s not the problem. There is a lot of intentional, hype-driven marketing that I want to steer Pineward away from. I want it to stay a very accessible brand.”

5 Fragrances which inspired Nicholas Nilsson

The founder of Pineward Perfumes doesn’t just look to his childhood camping experiences for inspiration. Here are a few fragrances which made an impact on his work.

“For nearly as long as I’ve been interested in perfume, Norne has been my reference conifer, the baseline fir by which all others are judged. It really opened my eyes to just how bold and different perfume could be. Pineward is yet in its infancy but I hope to redefine the way that coniferous perfumes of all varieties are viewed, similar to what Slumberhouse has done with Norne.”

Madhat Fragrances – Fur

“Madhat is a line that has always impressed me, no emphasis on fancy bottles or artistic interpretations, just a guy making his own perfumes and letting them speak for themselves. Fur is one of my favorites from Madhat, an intensely musky fir perfume that smells like a cozy old trapper’s cabin in the dead of winter.”

“The scent that started it all. Only having prior experience with cheap body sprays at the age I discovered this, Vintage smelled like the liquid distillation of pine forests and masculinity; the holy grail of my teenage perfume. While I don’t reach for it much these days, it marks the beginning of my conifer quest and I like to keep a bottle around to sniff on occasion.”

“Sadly discontinued now, the Apoteker Tepe line was a favorite of mine as every perfume was weird, beautiful, and full of originality. Even the scents that I didn’t personally care to wear were so intriguing and mystical, few other lines I’ve tried have managed to execute oddness so well. The Holy Mountain, with it’s obscure film-referencing name and notes of pine smoke and guaiac, was an instant love and remains a favorite of mine.”

“This particular bottle belonged to a deceased friend, a man of genuine kindness, generosity, and impeccable tastes. The bottle reminds me of all the right things, and I wish he were still around to see this project come to fruition.”
