He Wood

Perfumer. Daphne Busey: Countains: ozone, white fir, vegetal amber, musk, aquatic notes, violet blossoms and leves, vetiver and cedarwwod. I fell inlove straight away when first sniffed, but, ey!, there was something about it that reminded me other well known juice straight away, so I decided to experiment and wait for reactions. I made sniff my neck to every single friend of mine. Conclusion: They thought it was KenzoAir with an aquatic nuance, just like me. I was not they only one though. Both colognes share vetiver and cedar. I'm a fan of KenzoAir, but I have to admit this a way better cologne in my opinion. He wood is a minimal fragrance: a dreamscape of a light scent of a forest breeze near a lake. It provides a new step on “wood” accords— it's smooth, bleached woods floating on sweet, cool, lightly flower-scented water. Starts kind of aquatic and ozonic, definitively synthetic but pure, just like a whisper, but with presence. So many people has remarked that the initial burst is alcohol like, but to my nose is like watery fresh clean cut light wood, a similar smell of a paper manifactured factory with a liquid quality.. The fir here it's no very evident, but, in a few minutes the perfume gets personality and body, I smell violet leaf, a beautiful violet flower note, mild vetiver and water notes that blends beautifully with the vetiver and cedar. There's altrough a nice ambient of forest and the previous watery soft accord remains gorgeous in the background. It develops gorgeous and heady above yourself. It doesn't project grandly, but it's enough noticiable. This is a dream of perfume, it's just the same atmosphere as KenzoAir without the aniseed. It's funny how completely opposite essences can share close similarities. He Wood is an alive dream, the scent of how a fairy forest would smell like. A new solution for those that like light woody fragrances with a different touch. The longevity is average. No more than 4 hours.

I wrote before people ́s opinions is one of those criteria to take into account when choosing a fragrance...another one certainly is what we think about it... I believe all this debate began because innapropriate and generalizing comments like these: "Seriously, people wear or like fragances because girls love it ??? There are a lot of people withou nothing of personality... I supose that they are kids going to the college. :D:D)" as I said as well..generalizing always implies a bit of injustice and that comment was a bit too much for those like me...who take into account what people think and other ́s opinions..., if not...what the f. are we doing in fragantica...?...at least I am here cause opinions and advices do care.... one question...will you buy again and use with ease something your wife,girlfriend or people around you hate...?, if so...maybe yes...maybe I may have serious a lack of character and self-confidence have all a nice smelling or bad smelling day...

There are some perfumes that “hit the nail on the head”, which are easy to please men and women and are suitable for most environments and situations. He Wood is one of them! The output is deliciously loaded with violets. A potent floral that exhales and stays on the skin for about an hour. Then, the evolution begins to happen and wood and vetiver come into action, in a very “forestry” way, with something between the smell of damp trees, after a rainy day, and many shades of green. And to close in a more comfortable way, a delicious amber, which gives the sensation of softness to the fragrance. I saw many international reviews comparing it to Kenzo Air. I have this one too, but I think whoever mentioned this perfume did not know L’Eau Par Kenzo Indigo. This one is much more similar to He Wood at the end of evolution when we are left with only the final accord that permeates the rest of the hours in our skin. I really liked it!

Dear jmansar I believe is pretty logical MEN wear fragrances women like...I believe it could be instead pretty weird if we took into account the opinion of baboons, buttleflies or even WORSE...the opinion of other MEN to make our selection if we still believe we belong to the human race...decisions in life have multiple criteria nature, if the criteria women's opinion has a smaller value for you in the selection, for others it's simply bigger...why would I wear cartier declaration d'un soir, 24 gold, bulgary black or encre noir if my wife, friends and even strangers will dislike it...at the end?...do we want to smell good or bad?....for the last option save some money in fragrances and start skipping your daily bath...

I bought it a couple of years ago, as a gift for my ex boyfriend. He never liked it though, and since it reminded me of a unisex scent, I used it. On me the violet really comes through, but without being heavy, and it has a nice wooden finish. Somebody said: confident and strong, and I can only agree to that. It has a gentle strength to it, but is still on the feminine side (on my skin). After a while it doesn't really smell like perfume anymore, it blends really well with the skin and leaves a : I have been outside in the forest all day- freshness. :)
