Bogner Wood Women

My bottle of Wood is old, probably from the time it was launched. I used to buy a new perfume on vacation and would wear it while traveling. Afterwards, every time I smell it, it transports me back to that happy time. I bought Wood while visiting my sister in Germany. It is a beautiful, warm scent. You want to cuddle up with it. I love it, it makes me want to hug myself. It's a great scent for every day. You can easily wear it to work and not offend anyone. It's a clean, powdery soft woody floral. I now use it sparingly because I think it's been discontinued and even if they still make it, I'm sure it has been mangled with reformulation. Reformulation has curtailed my vacation/fragrance routine because I can't wear most new scents, they literally make me sick. That's unfortunate, scent and memory are so closely linked, for me it was a great way to trigger happy memories.

12. august 2012 Bogner "Wood" is very lovely fragrance. Warm and spicy indeed. Starting from the bottle: very cute "wooden" detail, which is actually made of plastic. Very modern looking. Cap is sitting firmly. Spray is one of the most precise sprays i have ever tried in my life. Sharp, precise and like an atomiser. Now to the fragrance itself. Very first impression: sharp, peppery, sandalwood overload. But very pleasant. I have sprayed about 5 times it onto my both wrists and neck. And my main complaint about this scent is actually a sillage: Quite low. It ́s been 2 hours since i have sprayed it and i can hardly smell it. Sometimes when a wind blows i get a smell of it, otherwise i need to smell really close it on my wrists. Somehow i get an association of "wood" with "Cinema" by YSL. The same warm vanilla (a lot of it) but with spices, i see that there is cinnamon listed amongst the notes, but i smell it only in the opening, later i smell no cinnamom, but white pepper. So i see this fragrance actually as a cross of "Cinema" by YSl and "Di Romeo Gigli" by Gigli. Drydown is a modest musk. Not bad, really. P.S. Oh, and you ask, what about the wood note, since it is called this way. Well, i do smell it dry woodsy note in it, but it is so nicely sccompanied with other notes that it is just lovely. Had to add, that actually when i woke up next morning the first thing i smelled was the smell of this perfume on my neck, so lasting power is really good then. But still the sillage is my concern, though i get the feeling that thus you don ́t smell it in the air much around you it is still present and gives you some kind of warm aura.

Oh my this sounds soooo amazing!! Bogner is one of the most sophisticated fragrance lines ever!!
