Pinrose Fine Fragrances
I am new to Pinrose, as I am sure a lot of you who are reading are. I contacted them a little over a week ago about taking their fragrances for a test run, and I am happy to say that I get to try out three samples for you, and I have chosen three different fragrances: Treehouse Royal, Surf Siren, and Campfire Rebel.
The notes of each are as follows:
Campfire Rebel: Burning oud wood and vanilla bourbon.
Surf Siren: Breezy blend of lavender and neroli.
Treehouse Royal: Fig, Peony, Haitian Vetiver.
Okay, I know what I thought when I read the descriptions: these perfumes are so odd, so unique, and probably fantastic. Well now I have them in my hands, and am excited to try them for you all. BUT for the review, opinions, and un-packaging, you will have to watch the video, which will be made after I try all three samples. The rest of this post is going to be a little about Pinrose as a company.
About Pinrose (all information from their website):
Pinrose is all about re-imagining scents, and selling high quality fragrances that aren't going to drain your bank account. I can vouch for all of this. Their scents are unique blends with unique names, and a bottle will have you out $50, which is $10+ less than my long-time standby: DKNY Be Delicious. But, Pinrose scents are $20 more expensive than Tokyomilk Perfumes, which I so happen to love as well. Anyways.
Their try at home samples are in wipe form (my thoughts on these in the video). Erika Shumate and Christine Luby are the duo behind Pinrose, and have been friends since college. They both have keen senses for scents (and not just their noses!).
And get this: they even have musical playlists to go with each fragrance. I listened to the corresponding playlists for each fragrance, and I will say, I think they help you capture the overall feel of the feeling the scents were created to envoke. I like the feeling of being empress of the woods (Treehouse Royal). This adds depth to their overall operation; Pinrose isn't just about smells, it is also about what smelling these smelly smells can do for our psyche. And I really like that.

What They Have to Offer:
$50 for 1oz of fragrance
Free sample packs (choose three)
$15 Sample Starter Kit (a sampling set of all ten scents, 2 of each)
$20 Petal Packs (25 of the sample wipes) And they even come in a little Pinrose Canvas zippered clutch! Mignonne!
The $50-$175 Gift: the coolest thing by far they offer. Cost depends on how many fragrances you want to gift. It works as follows: 1) A petal pack and gift card are sent to the recipient, 2) they try the scents, 3) they use the gift card to purchase the one they like best. $50 for one, $95 for two, $175 for three. I think it is a great birthday gift for someone very close or special, or even a good Mother's Day gift. That is coming up soon, by the way! And this way, you can be sure they like the scent they get, because they pick it!
