She Wood Crystal Creek Wood

I was 13 years old when I walked into a local chain drug store. The staff was used to seeing kids in the store, as there was a school nearby and they didn’t pay me much attention. I liked spending my time between lessons there and I liked looking at all the expensive make up products and fragrances. Immediately, I was drawn to this fragrance. I don’t know why. I can’t remember liking the bottle design, maybe the colors? Doesn’t matter. I smelled it and I knew it. This was it. Whatever it was. As a teenager, I sometimes got this fragrance for Christmas or my birthday. I never received pocket money from my parents so I couldn’t buy it myself and when I was old enough to have some money, Crystal Creek got discontinued. For years, I was looking for a scent to make me feel like this fragrance made me feel. Eventually I got my hands on another bottle and there it was. It doesn’t last long, never has. Minimal silage, doesn’t matter, this is only for me. I’m going to buy every single bottle I come across. I can’t miss this scent again. Even though I’m content with the runner up fragrance (Olm by Zoologist), this one holds a very place in my heart.

Very rarely I have had that as soon as I smell a perfume I know I have to get it asap. Actually, I had it only with 2 perfumes in my life and Dsquared crystal clear wood was one of them. To me it just smells super fresh and clean, like clear water and white flowers. Stays on the skin the whole day (I usually spritz 3 times on my neck and chest), get a lot of compliments on it. Makes me feel very clean and fresh. At the same time it is not boring at all, a very special smell that makes people ask what I am wearing. Have gone through 2 50ml bottles and 2 body lotions already and planning on purchasing my 3rd bottle. A good tip: for special occasions to make the body lotion last longer mix it 50:50 with an odourless moisturizer (RoC one is very good, Neutral works fine as well) with the scented body lotion and spritz perfume on top of everything, will ''lock in'' the smell for much longer :) The only thing I don't like as much is the bottle but then again, it is she WOOD which makes sense. could be more girly looking, therefore it stays inside my drawer.

Beautiful, natural and soft scent, absolutely perfect for summer. The woody accord is not too strong, but present and mingled with watery notes in an interesting way (no "wet wood" here, though, if you are looking for it). Violets give it a girly touch, without being predominant. Sillage is not strong, but detectable, about half arm-lenght I'd say. Staying power is good, and it really developes on skin, which is what I love about it the most! Love it. Very soft, though, if you only love powerhorses stay away. Also, for an aquatic, it is VERY musky. I find the musk really lovely here, but there's a lot of it, not your typical floral-citrus-aquatic at all!

I never thought I would like this type of fragrance - I have always been attracted to spicy, oriental woods. So it was a surprise when I tried this, and found that I loved it! Just the thing for these hot summer days, and I can still detect it on my skin after a full day of work. Lovely! As others have said, it sits quite close to the skin so this is a fragrance I am happy wearing to work, knowing that it isn't likely to bother anyone. But I love getting little wafts of it throughout the day - helps me imagine I'm sitting in a flowery wooded glade, instead of a stuffy office!

Nice fresh and crisp... typical aquatic fragrance that is done right in my opinion. What I like- that it smells natural- water, leaves, wet wood and cedar wood. Lol, yea, as proper aquatic She Wood contains Cedar wood that is well blended into composition and doesn't scream 'Furniture!' to you. Hawthorn present there too. Tho i don't smell any cucumbers :3 Good work. I like this fragrance. I'd say I like this one more than very first She Wood. Worth mention that I love bottles of these series- they're so adorable, that I would buy them just like that. :P

Although the sillage is only around 10 cm, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. To me it smells like a Norwegian forest on a cold, crisp spring day. There is something remotely sexy about it - perhaps coming from the woody iced-over lake note , but it isn't heady or overly sweet and child-like, i'd say it's non offensive but unique. Crystal Creek Wood is sublime in that it captures the essence of womanhood without cheapening it into something sweet and tacky. I love this fragrance still, and its brightness and sparkle evokes a sense of pure nostalgia.

so far the best aquatic ive ever had! it's fresh but not crispy fresh,not citrus, so it doesnt give you this feeling like youre using a detergent (some fresh scents smell exactly like my laudry powder!). it's soft, perhaps thanks to musk. but at the same time not suffocating! the drydown is slightly flowery, smells like a spring garden in the morning. but still id recommend to try it before buying cause my mother likes it on me but she cannot wear it, since it smells very chemical on her

This is the most refreshing scent I've smelled in a long, long time- perhaps ever- and if I had to choose just one scent to be my signature, this would be the one- The aquatic notes are fresh-water, not oceanic- Just picture a mountain stream gurgling beneath you in the deep woods... I smell violets in the woods just after the rain- with a hint of jasmine and musk in the air, just enough to give it body- and great longevity to boot- I'm lovin' it...

To be honest, with this fragrance, I was expecting a nice walk along a forest creek. Instead, upon application, I am immediately thrown in! The first couple of hours is full-on splish-splashing in the creek! A creek gently flowing with lots of water. Very refreshing. Gradually, I am moved out of the water up towards the creek bank. There, I peacefully sit, drying out amongst the greenery of forest overlooking the water.

I tried this one today and its a very fresh and light version of SheWood. I like it a lot.

Crystal Creek Wood is one of those aquatic scents that has a very “saturated” feel. Kind of like flowers drenched in rainwater, on a base of light woods. It is only mildly sweet and very fresh. I pick up on the woodsy vetiver, which in combination with the aquatic notes gives the sense of a forest immediately after a spring rain. I very much agree with SheShe’s description of this as evoking a “crystal stream in the mountains, surrounded by moss.” There are aquatic scents that recall the ocean, and those that recall fresh water. This one is definitely the latter, so the name is apt. There is nothing oceanic here; it is the scent of a cold, clear creek. The bottle, with its delicate blue liquid, clean lines, and pale wood, accurately represents the fragrance. Crystal Creek Wood is mild, crisp, refreshing, and serene. It doesn’t ever venture into soapy territory, and that is a big plus in an aquatic fragrance for me. While I enjoy it, I don’t find it distinctive enough that I would buy it. I’m usually content with having one or two “fresh” fragrances in my wardrobe, so for me it's not a must have. Nonetheless it is a well-done fragrance, and those who gravitate towards fresh florals and aquatics could very well feel more strongly about it.

I had a 100 ml bottle of Crystal Creek. I had, but I sold it and left myself about 15 ml because I got bored. The scent's always brought a crystal little stream in the mountains, the stream surrounded by moss to my mind. And that was OK with me. The scent stays rather close to skin and is a bit oily. I can sniff violets and ground in the beginning and it's a bit like in Velvet Forest, but Velvet Forest is stronger and Crystal Creek is softer. V. F. is more woody (actually VERY woody!), C. C. is watery. A nice and unique scent bringing nature to my mind, a pleasant one, I like it but don't love it. The bottle looks nice, sillage is quite good.

a breeze from the sea as someone has said before ;) it's very light, crispy a bit sweet because of the violets and all together a very nice and somehow hidden scent. it doesn't punch you in the face as others do ! it stays on your skin quite long and everytime you move you smell it and think: hmm... whats that ?! i dont know if it's a real summer perfume, it's probably a bit too "watery" in my opinion it's a great spring-scent ! it'd be awesome to wear it while it's raining, i think this would be the perfect moment for it ! when everything is wet and the sun shines this scent is in the air ;)

I find the "She Wood" line interesting and intriguing; before I tested them, I never thought a fragrance could be "creative" being based on woody notes, but they proved me wrong! Crystal Creek is deliciously different and exciting. It's not exactly complex, but it reveals itself in many ways, like a mutant (lol). It's fresh and light without fading or getting boring. Delicious violet and very pleasing woody notes. Lasts all day! Very comforting and comfortable. I could wear it every single day and never get tired. Really delightful.

I once left the perfume store with a lingering fresh, jasmine/aquatic smell around me. Next week I went back to the store to find, which scent had come home with me.. it was Dsquared Crystal Creek. I bought it, and liked it really much..at first. As time went by I got a bit bored of the (somehow synthetic?) scent (well, it's autumn now, and the fragrance is more suitable in spring). I recommend the fragrance to those who enjoy light, aquatic fragrances. 8,5/10

It was love at first smell, a perfect forest-in-summer feeling. It's fresh without that toilet-cleaning lotion hint that so many fresh smelling parfumes have. It is woodsy without being intoxicating. It is watery, open, calm. Nothing is too much about this perfume. Unfortunately the sillage isn't too much either. It would be perfect if it stayed longer on my skin. I have to spritz it again after 4 hours ... and it is sad, being such a great perfume.

This little number is my cure for any headache. The best aquatic I've ever came across - green, light, crisp, fresh, that smell of cold, humid air has really been captured in this bottle. I am not the one for aquatics, but I am truly happy I discovered this scent, whenever I feel down or lazy I just give myself a couple of sprays of Crystal Creek. A true 'zen-like' fragrance.

It's a very light fragrance that I use to wear in spring or in sunny days with a cool breeze. Like Museumgal said, it's transparent, but I can also feel something powdery and fresh/crispy, I guess it's due to the violet leaf. In my skin it lasts about 6h or more. And just like Biofumery said, Crystal Creek gives you some wonderful waffs from time to time during the day.

The best spring violet i ever had! It is like a walk it the park after rain, the sun is out of the clouds and you are picking fresh violets. I can not feel the woody note, which is good for me, because it was too strong in the original Dsqared she wood.

Fresh, woody violet and just a hint of powdery musk (when it begins to fade out). Not much to talk about, this is very clean aquatic-woody frag, simple, but beautiful. It also smells kinda natural, but I'm not sure about the lasting power...
