Semi-sweet and semi-smoky. Well balanced.
Cotswold IMO is a good entry fragrance to the darkest of the line, including Murkwood, Brokilan, Fanghorn II or Eldritch. Not that dark as the ones mentioned, but gives you a nice overview what darker Pineward are about.

Cotswold to me is spicy, a little bit sweet and smoky. It has conifers that you can detect in other scents from the line, but it's also got ponderosa, I think it's Nick's experiment with that note and led to creation of a perfume called Ponderosa.

Longevity is around 9-10 hours, sillage is quite good.

In general: semi-sweet and semi-smoky. Well balanced.

Pineward representative
I loved that combination of darkness and sweetness.
I'd say I pretty much identify the smell with the notes I'm reading, except for the pine needles.
I think it is a perfume that requires a lot of personality to wear it and I would say that it is easier to restrict it to private use to delight oneself with the olfactory experience.
It is able to create a state of cozy and comfortable environment of endearing home.
I find it preferable for cold times or at night.
It has a great duration on the skin compared to recognized performance bombs that everyone names, although perhaps its silage is not as spectacular.
It is a scent that aligns with the style of fragrances that represents most of the launches of this house. Although it is one of the most accessible in that context and not as extreme as some in terms of darkness (Treacle) or sweetness (Chandlery, Glühwein...), it is therefore a balanced representation of the house.

cotswold
particular perfume, my partner hates it I like it, animalic opening on my skin, after 10 minutes it disappears and I feel licorice, smoky resin, it has a good duration and also an excellent persistence, not for everyone :D
Notes: cedar, smoke, oakwood, ponderosa pine needles, vanilla.

A rough-hewn cabin nestled deep within the woods; cedar logs ablaze in the hearth and a hot mug against the weather.

Sweet, smoky, resinous, dense - apt for cooler weather
Sampling Pineward Cotswold, a smoky, sweet, resinous mix featuring cedar, vanilla, oak, and pine, noticeably less green and fresh than Boreal, and with less pine than Bindebole, and without the apple of Apple Tabac. It’s a layered yet straightforward blend that really works for the cooler weather and strikes me as a staple, agreeable offering for fans of natural, dense blends like this, midway between and spicy while being dark and resinous throughout, the resin itself being unclear but not giving me a distinct vibe of, say, myrrh or olibanum.

Some immediate comparisons that come to mind, while not remotely replicas, are, with their more distinguishing notes in parentheses: Kerosene Broken Theories (tobacco), Slumberhouse Ore (pepper), and Imaginary Authors Memoirs of a Trespasser (myrrh), as each has a vaguely similar arrangement of vanilla/woods/resins while having a notably distinct aspect/note of its own. Cotswold is more agreeable and central than any of the others, so it’s an easy recommendation to try even if it is less boundary-pushing than the comparisons.

Overall, I love Cotswold, and it hits the mark, even if I feel like I’ve smelled it before somewhat in other fragrances. Performance is great, and the pricing is the same as the rest of the line, at $135/80 for 37/17ml.

I could see this being a crowd favorite of the line, particularly for those looking for something less pine-centric.

This would be one of the more "commercial" scents at Pineward. The scents starts with a nice pine needle woody scent. A little bit green is in there that adds some depth to the scent. As the pine starts to fade you get the smokey vanilla wood. The smoke isn't overpowering. At the dry down, its a nice warm woody vanilla. This scent has good projection and longevity, it lasted about 5 hours.

A warm and cozy spicy-woody Winter fragrance, with an intense and boozy, smoky green-woody opening. Definitely oak-forward and masculine.

A nice dense, woody vanilla.
Slightly fermented and smoky, with slightly green aspects.

A little bit to sweety for me. Lowkey reminds me of Ponderosa - and I'm not a fan of that.

Wood in the form of smoke
Creaks from the cedar forest
The warm essence oozes
Glows peacefully to embers
Until night falls
And the light fades
