Fragrance 02

Wow, green. Cool, but warm/contrast. Tart. Spicy, but brisk and bright. Nutty, ooh. Hazelnut? Not nearly as heavy as I feared. I like this. Probably my favorite first impression from my six-sample tin. And this was a last-minute pick! On skin: This is nice. Nutty and warm and a bit like Hanami (of old). Deeper. Arid. Slightly smokey. Wow, this is a bit of every note ever. Surprised there isn't bergamot or some darker citrus (bitter orange) listed. A woody warmth, but it's more vibrant than that. Dries to a patchouli wood, slightly sweet and on my skin a bit like lingering cigarettes. Beautiful, but...not really my fresh vibe. EDIT: I fell in love with this after revisiting it months later. It's incredibly smooth and clean. The smoky and green sharpness with that arid warm wood crispness lingers on my skin in a way I've never experienced before. It actually works with my skin's chemistry to emphasize dustiness in a way that's so beautiful and cozy. There's no phase of this fragrance that smells odd or offends. From top to bottom, on my skin, it's gorgeous. And the base (Milk) that lingers with the warmth...it creates a slightly-sweet woody cleanness that's stunning even hours later. Finally full-bottled it.

I think this is the only dedcool scent out of the sampler I picked that I want the full bottle of. It feels mysterious, and woodsy without going into Christmas-y territory. I personally never feel it warm up, but about 30 minutes in it gets this great juicy vibe that reminds me of red berries. It's a juniper scent that's boozy without smelling exactly like a gin and tonic, which I appreciate. The patchouli and sandalwood come together really naturally, so to me I never really feel like I'm in a hippy store. I will say that the first 10 minutes or so are super bitter, and after about 5 hours it gets to be kind of a non-descript woodsy skin scent (it's still good, but just loses complexity). I like it a lot, and it's kind of hard for me to describe! I think it's light enough for the daytime but mysterious enough for the night. For reference, my favorit scents are either fig or incense.

This is my favorite DedCool perfume and one of my all-time favorite perfumes in general. The juniper is really juniper berries rather than bark. As a result I think this smells very sweet and juicy rather than woody, though the sandalwood and patchouli base notes are noticeable and balance it out well. The sweet juniper gives more of an outdoorsy sweetness rather than overtly girly. It's a sexy scent for sure, and I get complimented every time I wear it. That in part is probably due to the incredibly strong sillage and longevity of this perfume. The scent really doesn't evolve much over time, so what you smell in the first hour is more or less exactly what you'll smell on hour 12. I've found this to be true for most DedCool perfumes, and I appreciate knowing what I'm getting.

I first smelled this in a small boutique and right then I immediately had to have it. I did some research after and discovered that the brand is non-toxic. I was surprised that it lasted as long as it did, because perfume usually requires a little bit of that poison to last. I guess it is woodsy, a little incense-y at first spray. The notes are patchouli, sandalwood, juniper, etc. This doesn't smell natural at all and I don't mean that in a bad way. It could be the presentation helping out here (plain bottle, generic name, barcode), but this smells like the future...clean, synthetic, androgynous. After the initial smokiness dies, what you are left with is soft and sexy, but with a little edge or bite. I love Fragrance 02..a perfect scent for the brave, new world.

earthy and woody, and she’s strong. I get whiffs all day long, it definitely lasts. 02 is my favorite dedcool fragrance other than milk which is an easy to love skin scent. i enjoy taunt but only purchase the detergent because that’s exactly what the scent is to me, a good detergent. most of the dedcool fragrances i’ve tried smack you in the face at first and then grow on you as they dry down. this one reminds me of christmas with the sweet and spicy wood notes but the juniper and florals feels really sophisticated. I’ve had this for a while and just started wearing it now that the weather is getting colder. i wouldn’t blind buy, dedcool in general feels like an acquired taste and fortunately they have great sample sets.

top notes are juniper, spruce, pine, a dry forest, the cold southwest. the sun is setting over the mesas; you set up camp. now you're warmer, more comfortable, nestled against the swell of old trees. the staying power is enormous; the impression of a night in the woods remains in you. you're left with a sweetness, a balsamic base so sweet it nearly turns chocolaty, like the mocha you buy in the tiny ski town the morning you leave from your trip. so far this is the only dedcool fragrance i'd like in a full bottle. it's so comforting. feels like an essential to build a fragrance collection, perfect for winter.

I got a bottle of Fragrance 02 as a BOGO when purchasing a 1.7oz bottle of a different Dedcool fragrance. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it this much. The opening of Fragrance 02 is very wood-forward, and after about 90 minutes it fully settles from woody juniper into the most plush, warm, soapy clean smell that I am utterly enthralled with. It’s elegant and earthy. I am lucky that it works beautifully with my skin; I can see how it’s a polarizing, love-it-or-hate-it fragrance.

My favorite scent ever. It might seem like medicine on the first sniff, but it turns into the most beautiful smell on skin in like 10 minutes. I first sniffed it on my friend years ago and have been absolutely obsessed ever since. It's woody and sweet at the same time, wearable during any season really. imo the most underrated DedCool fragrance. I guess a spicy opening scares a lot of people, but it should be tested on skin and definitely given time.

oh my love this is gorgeous! when i smell this, i see a hedge witch walking through a mossy pine forest with a small basket of berries after it has rained. dedcool, you are so so dirty just take my money now!

Feels like a younger, more frugal sister of Dipthyqye Orpheon. Very juniper forward but more light and juicy than powdery. I love this, it's been my daily go-to for the winter/early spring :)

A gender-punky sandalwood that smells like the sweat of the sexiest person you've ever met in the best way possible. This one is underappreciated! Very unisex.

Great Fragrance, the juniper shines. Any of my fellow millennials think this smells like the 90's scented Strawberry Shortcake dolls ( in a good way!)??

The pine and juniper is very prominent in this fragrance. I love it but I'm a slut for woody scents. I do wish it was longer lasting!

sexy in a bottle for me thats how this smells. my ideal man smells like this, but I also want to be that man.

Like green apple smoke. Curiously clean, polarizing, yet delicious. Truly unisex.

Very woody but the green notes balance it well. Good for anytime

nobody else getting a green fig note,??

I got this from a friend who said it was one of their least favorites from the samples they ordered, so that's a strong sign that it isn't for everyone. But I got the fun chance to form an opinion completely blind to what it's supposed to smell like. Opening is super clean and bright, I can definitely get the juniper. But the drydown for me is like candy with just a lil hint of patchouli. Maybe like pinecones preserved in glycerin? I'm glad a couple people in the comments mentioned marshmallows and strawberries because I thought I was losing my mind. Not woodsy or unisex to me at all, smells more like a 19 year old girl who wears lots jangling bracelets and brings a cherry cola with her everywhere she goes. I mean it in a good way though, like I still wanna eat it 🤷

The opening of this is perfection - like signature scent quality. Love the woody floral smell rounded out with just a hint of sweetness. Very unisex, and has that sort of je ne sais quoi factor. 40 mins however, this is 100p patchouli to me. I don't mind it, I like patchouli a lot, but yes VERY HEAVY patchouli dry down. The opening is a LOVE// the dry down is a like. Hard to say who I picture it on bc to me the opening and dry down are so different.

At first it smelled like cherry cough medicine and I almost had to scrub it off. It still has that sickly sweet scent that you get in medicine. As it’s dried down I definitely get the earthiness and the juniper but it’s a little bit too sweet for office where, a little bit too musky for every day, and not strong enough to wear out. I think it would be a good fragrance for someone’s androgynous partner that’s looking for a jammy skinscent
