Holy Cross

The quiet strength found in an old library where the scent of aged books mingles with the faint hint of incense and fresh parchment.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Holy Cross by Pineward Perfumes is a fragrance that oscillates between the freshness of its spicy top notes and the enveloping warmth of its musky base. This composition opens with green and aromatic accords that evoke the crispness of early morning in a forest, before transitioning into a heart of floral and powdery scents that add a layer of softness and depth. The woody and mossy elements ground the fragrance, creating a sense of stability and earthiness that resonates throughout its wear.

How to wear it

Apply Holy Cross to pulse points for a balanced wear. The aromatic and spicy top notes are most prominent initially, but they quickly give way to the musky and woody base that lasts throughout the day. A light spritz is enough to enjoy its full evolution.
