pinelike

Like a conifer

Pinelike describes something that resembles or has qualities associated with pine trees—their distinctive needle-shaped leaves, their resinous scent, or their tall conical silhouette.

The word appears most often in describing fragrances or flavors that evoke the sharp, fresh aroma of pine: The gin had a pinelike botanical quality.

It can also characterize textures, shapes, or growth patterns that recall pine trees or their foliage.
