2 Wood

Reading all the reviews I am astonished that hardly anyone(save one or two people) has mentioned the obvious. This is a rebranding of the old He Wood line, specifically Rocky Mountain Wood. Wood Original is virtually identical to He Wood(98% the same, just a little smoother albeit with a slightly subdued violet note, which was actually one of my favorite things about it but i digress). 2 Wood is about 90% the same as RMW in the opening heading in a more citrusy direction while toning down the aromatic woodsy notes slightly and amping up the vetiver a smidge. By the dry down however it becomes about 95% the same as RMW still with that citrusy lean while the vetiver takes center stage. So the question is, is it any good? YES, it's fantastic! Is it as good as the original RMW, not quite. RMW is in my top 15 fragrances of all time(at one point holding the number one spot) so anything that smells 95% like it is great by me. It is a little bit of a let down, no one likes to see their favorite fragrance messed with but thankfully I have all the backups I will ever need of RMW while taking it in a more citrusy direction(thereby making it a summer fragrance as opposed to a cold weather fragrance) is actually a nice addition to my collection. I guess you could look at it as a summer flanker of RMW but more importantly for those that miss the old RMW this is a more than adequate substitute(Easily gets into my top 30 all time, out of a 120+ highly selective collection). This definitely deserves a much higher rating IMO and more love in order to ensure they don't discontinue it. PS: The opening for the first 5-10 min does not do it justice(sharp citrusy notes that eventually settle down) while care should be taken to NOT overspray this. Overspraying RMW can get a little cloying, overspraying 2 Wood is no different.

Starts off with a refreshing bright dry citrus note. When i smelled this, at first i was like omg Dsquared2 why don’t you guys never learn! The community loves the old fragrances, but going into the drydown the scent got alot better. Like i said the scents starts with a dry citrus very refreshing with a slight musky undertone. When it comes to mid/drydown the woods and citrus start to mix and the scent becomes this very pleasant woody/powdery/citrus kinda scent which gave off a an original he-wood dna kinda vibe which i loved. Performance around 6 hours on skin, sillage is moderate at best. If you loved the original he wood this is definitely worth a try, got mine bottle for 60 eu for 100ML. Great for fall days/cooler weather days, office safe, :)

It is extremely rare for me to purchase a fragrance because of a free sample - but that is exactly what I did with this. Dark citruses, slightly aromatic, dry woods yet not a dry scent overall, similar vetiver note to Encre Noire (actually Wood 2 has a lot in common with ENALE), there is transparent musky underpinning with amber in the background. Very masculine, has that old school powerhouse character, so far I think performance is pretty good if not beastly (low prices mean spray at will). I need to spend more time with it but I am definitely going to enjoy this one. My kind of fragrance and will be a more summer friendly version of the Encre Noire line.

I had He wood a long time ago, I was expecting something similar, a very strong woody and lemon scent. But this is not it, it is a very pleasant, well-blended, delicate woody scent. Cedar and cypress dominate from the beginning but there is no intrusive scent, very creamy and rounded scent profile! For this much money there are Arabic toilet scents. Wood 2 may not be special, but it is definitely unique. The only drawback is that it does not have much depth, but this is a summer scent, perfect and unique. Anyone who says it's lemon and only smells like wood has a problem with their nose.

Vetiver Vetiver Vetiver All about Vetiver ! This is a really nice fragrance for vetiver lovers ! It reminds me the Bois de Vetiver of Karl Lagerfeld mixed with the Gerlain Vetiver and the Encré Noir Sport It starts with a small punch of Lemon, Citrus and Aroeira (Pink Pepper), and them goes all way down to a Very Polish Vetiver (I guess because of the Musk)! Longevity is Moderate Sillage is also Moderate But the price was 24 CAD Really nice blind buy !
