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. :)

I love the smell and the concept, I tend to ignore concepts, but this is a fresh, natural creation which feels relaxed. This makes me think of the cool, wet patch of a gorgeous swampland my brother and I found as kids, there was this odd, thick grass covering the tough, lumpy soil. I had no idea what the grass was called, all I knew was that it was the softest, coolest place to lay during summer. I could have sworn banana wood was in there, but my girlfriend says she can smell cucumber. Still, it's a beautiful scent. Up in my top 5

Dear jmansar not sure if I understood what you said but ok...remember that generalizing always brings a bit of injustice...and yes...I declare myself guilty, I like to smell good and not like rubber, cement or semem....if you believe taking people ́s opinion on sth is a sign of insecurity or lack of personality..then I believe we see 2 different worlds and even when I tend to respet people ́s opinion...., I do believe I live in the right one, have a good smelling day man and keep smelling as you want even if nobody likes it...

sheer brilliance, original, refreshing, outdoorsy..mix of pure wood smell in forest and saw dust with violets up top...clean and masculine.for outdoor activities like logging, camping,hiking, work, trekking...this is an ideal scent.in the summers day it lasts 4/5 hours...but in cooler spring days i got up to 7 hours...projection isnt bad also...this sits right behind rocky mountain wood for me...so good to smell....not synthetic or cheap...niche quality juice. 8.5/10 for me.a must try

Expectations are always coupled with disappointments when they are not met! That's why I always allow fragrances to surprise me,as a result,I love and like everything in my collection. This scent is great,violets and wet or green wood similar to what you would get pruning a lush green tree branch. The wood is there,just not as dry as we're accustomed to in perfumery. Wonderful performance, very uplifting scent. This is aromatherapy, isn't this the reason why we are fragrance junkies?

Great elegant fragrance that ́s easily loved by most of the people around me...girls...love it...it is really something than can be easily blindbought and you would not possibly be dissapointed...great scent.... longevity 7/10 projection 7/10 smell 9/10 uniqueness 9/10 compliments...8/10.. it is really like a SOLID 8/10 in my book...good work on this one!!!! even when it is more linear than rocky mountain...the normal nose would pick this over that one..specially girls

I bought it as a gift for my Husband, who loves Lalique perfumes. I wanted a bit of change in his perfume wardrobe and this Dsquared Wood smells gorgeous. This perfume is a long-lasting green-woody fragrance ; quite of a masculine, strong scent. I personally can smell the vetiver, the fir and the cedar above all. I did not notice much the violet. It's there, but to me, it's definitely not the most noticeable note. It's a very pleasant one. It was a real success!

So sorry they discontinued this. And a genuine unisex fragrance that some women could pull off, though it's not feminine to my nose. Until now it's my all time favorite woody fragrance. It really smells to me like wood, but in a tuxedo. Or rather, what wood should smell like. Refined, pure, pristine. My first encounter with ISO super and I enjoyed it so much! Unfortunately it goes for 100-200 USD if you can find a genuine bottle being scalped on E-bay.

Just bought a back up bottle. Big Big love for me and under the radar for sure. One of my favourites and a quintessential fall fragrance for me. Definitely niche quality. Longevity is incredible on me, 12+ hours, and projection is moderate . I get a lot of compliments on this one. One of my most complimented frags. I will always have a bottle of this one.

Absolutely love this! Got my partner a bottle 4 years ago. He repurchased it 3 times in a 100ml. Used to be such good value, lasts super long. To me it smells like a summer meadow, surrounded by magical woods, mountains, rivers... its my favourite masculine daytime fragrance ever! Why would they discontinue it? :(

Comfort in a bottle. Something about the He Wood DNA just satisfies me in a fundamental way. A floral, woody everyday reach. Not the sweetest, not the loudest, but maybe one of the most fascinating. Such a shame this line was discontinued. Very grateful to have recently found an affordable 100ml of this.

I love D'Squared He Wood! The first time I took a sniff of it, I just had to get it right then & there. It's a very cool yet sophisticated scent. You can use it on those easy days & on special occasions. It's one of my favorites & one of those scents that I'll never grow tired of.

Had plenty of compliments after wearing this fragrance. It is a nice mixture of dry woods, violet leaves, with a light powdery finish. The vetiver and cedar in the middle notes are very long lasting. This is perfect for the cold season. This has very good longevity. A good 9/10

One of my favorites. On me the wood is definitely the most potent note. The violet is behind the well balanced amber both of which are a distant 3rd to the other woodsy notes. I am a big fan of this one. I absolutely must try all the others in this line up. among my favorites.

Hi guys, this scent very well, I think it would be good if the man would own it, this scent is sexy and long lasting. It's one of my favorite fragrances for men. I know this perfume for men but sometimes I still use it, hehe, it's fresh, light and so manly... Xxxx

i love it the time i smelled it, "the reason i blind buy it`s flunkers "one thing is missing the ocean wet wood i couldn't find it here in tokyo to sad for that...any way the scent smells like armani code the closes i can think because of the powdery kick of it..
