Sugarwood

Sugarwood is interesting and quite different than "mainstream" sugary scents. Somehow "natural", little earthy (more so than woody in my opinion. I am getting more of fresh - almost "dirty" - roots and greenery rather than wood itself. I can easily envision a field of sugarcane with the lush, dark green foliage heated by strong sun and washed and refreshed by warm rain. Now, of course, the foliage is also splattered in mud). Unlike the other reviewers, I don't find it very sweet at all, but maybe that's because I have tested some REAL sweet fragrances recently. :-). The fig, lovely, lovely flowers and vanilla make it feminine, especially as the fragrance develops and it does so very prettily. The sugar here is indeed a little burned or better still - very raw, unrefined as is the whole concoction. Put on freshly showered skin is does seem to create quite unusual - for a moment perhaps almost shocking - sweetish, almost dirty rawness. It's not repulsive or unpleasant, quite the opposite, but it is not what one expects from a "sweet" fragrance or from clean skin. I like it quite a lot, but I WILL have to ask what others think when they smell me. :-)

SW is definitely not candy based fragrance. There is nothing similar to modern pop culture scents that are full of artificial sweetness. SW begins with strong citrus notes that lasts for seconds and than immediately develops into brown sugar, over- caramelized, almost burnt, with green background. This green color is created from freshly squeezed sugarcane directly cut from the fild, blended fig fruits and leafs giving us freshness same as watermelon has. But the burnt sugar is always present throughout whole life of this fragrance. In the base the beautiful cedar comes as a main wood and also something that I can't precisely describe, fresh tobacco with spicy vanilla drops? In my opinion SW is very well blended fragrance, very niche and even too niche to be understand by big audience. I can honestly recommend it to anyone who likes unusual a little sweet woody and incensy fragrances for summer weather.

I absolutely LOVE this scent. I am so excited to say that I have become a proud owner of a bottle of this gem. I ordered a bunch of samples from lucky scent a while ago, and this perfume immediately went on my "to buy" list. I thought I was going to have to order it online, but I found a little boutique in Seattle that was selling this line! To me this fragrance smells exactly like sugarcane. I do not find it too sweet at all. I immediately smell a woody fibrous scent underlying the sugar as soon as it is sprayed. I can notice the bergamot in the background just giving it the slightest bit of tartness. As the other reviewers have said this is an unusual scent, so definitely do not buy blind!

I wasn't at all certain of this scent. it seemed perhaps too sweet. I purchased a bottle after sampling though. The cedar acts as a counterpoint to the sweet. what I perceive is sugar cane the plant, not sugar the finished component. The flowers lend a surrounding quality again to remind you that you are not in bag of sugar, but a field of cane. overall it is unusual, lovely and something I have been reaching for as the weather gets warmer.

caramel and fig. yummy. if you like sweet, try Sugarwood.
