Wood Blend

First try of Davidoff Wood Blend, one of a handful of similarly-named fragrances (along with Leather, Agar, and Amber) that seem to be difficult to track down despite being listed on the Zino Davidoff website. It’s spicy, resinous, woody, and frankly a bit leathery, almost the spicy leather counterpart to the rather sweet-and-spicy Leather Blend itself. The main standout notes are leather, nutmeg, cardamom, olibanum, amber, and vetiver. It’s just a touch sweet, and spicy without being particularly animalic, just not purely woody per se, despite the name. “Spice Blend” might be a more fitting moniker, even though that’s now occupied by a Maison Christian Dior offering. It reminds me of a slightly less spicy, slightly less animalic version of Salvatore Ferragamo Oud, which pivots more toward a castoreum-type animalic quality, whereas Wood Blend leans a little more resinous and ever so slightly sweet, perhaps midway way between Ferragamo Oud and Leather Blend. Overall, it’s curiously spicy, resinous, slightly dark, without being dirty or animalic nor pivoting to something on the sweeter side, which is what I love about Leather Blend, but Wood Blend is a bit closer to a somewhat mainstream/masculine that feels especially appropriate cooler weather and/or evening, possibly a men’s cold weather signature scent. It performs well above average and testers are sold on FragranceX for under $60, with free shipping, so it’s actually the easiest of the Davidoff “Blend” line to find, currently. 8 out of 10

I was in Dubai sniffing the local fragrances and came across a particular ambery fragrance with cardamom and saffron. It was very high quality and very expensive. Had to let it go. 7months later I tested Davidoff Woodblend, it was everything and more than the fragrance I had smelled in Dubai. The Safron and Amber make it the most sophisticated fragrance I own. It is unique and perfect for winters.I love it more than Leather, Agar and Amber blend just for its sophistication. Own it Love it!

finally got the bottle.and let me say very clearly its not for all.if only you like bentley for men absolute and encre noire, you will fall in love with this.ofcourse they are all different fragrances but the woody spicy masculine vetiver feel is just splendid, another masterpiece from the blend line.own them all now and im super happy.will do an exclusive review soon on "Joy Amin" channel soon on youtube :) its masculine to say the least, for Blend line lovers...its a must

I tested it today,just on a paper,and yes,it does remind me a lot of Declaration,which I owned many years ago,and now I own the parfum version.So,i would definitely have to test it on skin,to check it out,but if the result would be the same,it would be redundant purchase.

This is GOOD! Wood and spice bomb. Statement worthy. Great performance. Be easy on the sprays because this is some strong juice. Sadly underrated.
