Pine meets gourmand in good balance
Sampling Pineward Perfumes Ponderosa, a resinous pine blend with prominent gourmand notes of strawberry, cinnamon, butterscotch, and beeswax, to my nose, still with the green/sharp pine accord, also, and a bit of a dark resinous quality to it. It overall feels about 50% gourmand, 50% pine resin, a very pleasant balance that makes for a really useful cold weather offering that handles a transition from daytime to nighttime. I’m wearing it at work today and I estimate that it would be just as fitting out for a social event, personally. Most importantly, it’s of the same quality and craft that I’ve come to associate with this great line. I’m really overdue to retry much of the house, in fact.

Ponderosa, like most of the line, performs very well (in extrait concentration), and its pricing is standard for the current line, at $205/135/80 for 57/37/17ml, so not cheap, but reasonable for a high-concentration, high-performing niche perfume.

Green and resinous sibling of Cotswold
I feel like it’s a green sibling of Cotswold, maybe less sweet. Also, some fruity-smoky-resinous nuances have been replaced with nutty and even more woody elements. That nutty aspect is quite prominent on my skin. Wearing Ponderosa makes me feel warm and cozy. Generally - green and spicy. Good longevity, moderate sillage.

A nice fragrance. While wearing feels more on the woody side of conifers.

Slightly sweet and buttery
Sweet strawberry fruitiness combined with slightly buttery butterscotch.
Yellow pine needles (Ponderosa) to tone down the sweetness and give a woody edge.
Perfectly balanced between sweet and woody without ever being cloying.
Always very high quality: this guy, Nicolas Nilson, has so much passion and care for what he does!

Sweet Wood
This is the more grown up version of Cape Heartache by Imaginary Authors. The scent starts with a strong resin and pine smell and then mellows out into a sweet wood. Best way to describe it is when wood is being cut with a buzzsaw and the heat from cutting caramelizes the sugar in the wood. I didn't pickup any strawberry but I am not disappointed by that. This fragrance lasted about 6 hours on my skin.

Gorgeous, sparkly-sweet wood
Despite the notes, I don't experience Ponderosa as a gourmand. It's undeniably sweet, but in a very natural, coniferous way. I've smelled trees that were this sweet, and that's what comes to mind when I wear this. It's isn't as spiky and green as some of Pineward's other scents, but instead takes a sticky, sweet, warm approach to pine that's pretty narcotic. I never get strawberry, but Pineward's scents are generally so composed of naturals that it doesn't surprise me, since strawberries don't really have much of a smell.

Just another hit from my favourite tree house.

Nutty, gourmand-like and very pleasing. Resinous and comfy to wear. I like Ponderosa for being plush and cozy on my skin.

Warm woody-resin and balsamic-gourmand. Perfect christmas fragrance if you like pine and caramel. Truly unique and wonderful scent.

A lighter Cotswold. I don't get the strawberry, but the whole is great.

A very smooth and creamy/sweet spicy-woody Gourmand, with a rather pungent and boozy spicy resinous-sweet opening. Unisex.

Smoky, powerful pine and dry cedar in the foreground. A hint of fruity sweetness, minimally creamy. It's something!
