She Wood Golden Light Wood

Having just received Golden Light Wood as a birthday gift from a lovely Fragrantica friend (you know who you are!), I have to sing it's praises! I'm shocked not to see jasmine and violet among the notes... and amused to see that many other reviewers are looking for lost flower notes here, too (mimosa, freesia, honeysuckle, among others- this scent must be a real chameleon!) Usually, orange blossom drowns out everything else on my skin, but that isn't happening (yet) There is a gorgeous juxtaposition between the softness of heliotrope and white blossoms and the sharpness of cedar and citrus that I find utterly enchanting- If you are attracted to Alien but are wary of its intensity, especially for everyday use, I highly recommend this-

I spray on my wrist, close my eyes and smell.... I feel the sun on my skin and a little breeze is cooling me, i hear the waves as i'm lying at the beach drinking malibu/pineapple... And that's everything i need! That is what Golden Light Wood is all about for me! And that's why i love it!

This just makes me so incredibly happy. Lush, exuberant, it's like standing in a deep leafy forest, sunlight filtering through.... Amazing staying power on me, I can still pick up the heart notes after more than eight hours. Also lingers a good 13h+ on clothes. A plus!

Sometimes it smells like Alien Sunessence. Sometimes it smells like MaDame, but without that soapy scent. Sometimes it makes me "remember" Summer by Kenzo. The combination of white flowers, wood and musk is amazing! Uplifting, classy and sunny scent!

I am very happy with this perfume,it is bright,clean at the beginning and the dry down is very very similar with Alien on my skin.This is the main reason I bought it although they have different notes both have that luxurious divine smell.

I smell Jasmin and Sandal wood once it sits on my skin. Huh. Love it, either way. From packaging to the scent. I feel so natural and earthy when I have this on me. :)

Love it so much, different kind of fragrance. Sweet, soft and classic. An aroma for day-dreaming.

I just bought it and I AM IN LOVE WITH IT!

I have been quite pleasantly surprised by Dsquared SHE WOOD GOLDEN LIGHT WOOD. While I like the original SHE WOOD, this flanker is somehow better. The orange blossom smells clean and fresh and airy. It's also watery, just like its namesake--along with lots of other light florals (especially violet!) created in that same mold these days--but somehow the whole production smells more natural to me. There is less wood and more flower here, so I feel a bit like walking on clouds with a light mist of tiny drops hanging in the air all about me. I believe that GOLDEN LIGHT WOOD was a limited edition, but I can recommend Prada INFUSION DE FLEUR D'ORANGER as the closest among the orange blossom compositions I've tried to date. There is one pretty big difference, though: the Prada is rather soapy, while the Dsquared is not. I've been on an orange blossom journey lately and these two have ended up being my favorites. I find them uplifting but not very citric, so they seem more like perfume than cologne, despite the more common use of orange blossom in the latter.

Golden Light Wood is very pretty! It is fresh and all about the orange blossoms which are sweet and clean. It such a bright and cheerful scent, makes me happy every time I wear it. To me this is almost a soliflore, because of how prominent the orange blossoms are in this, but there is a touch of sweet cedar lingering in the background which helps with the lasting power. It’s a long lasting fragrance with a decent amount of projection for the first hour or so, but a little after that it lingers close to the skin. This would be an awesome fragrance to wear to a picnic. Makes me just want to be out in the sun relaxing in a cute summer dress, reading a book. Great for warmer day’s in the spring and summer, though I would wear it anyways when I’m in the mood for an uplifting fragrance. Its fun and cheerful :]

It’s like standing on the beach, smelling the scent of sun cream in the air mixed with clean, vaguely salty skin. It’s incredible what heliotrope with citrus blossoms can do. It’s soft and smooth, sits close to skin and in the dry down I get the cedar, if it’s there my skin usually finds it. Very summery in the imagery it conjures for me, but I am unsure how it will fare in truly hot summer temperatures. Both my husband and I enjoy it now, at the end of spring, we spray it when we go to bed. It is a softer version of Kenzo Summer, I agree with the many other reviewers, but not as cloying as I remember the Kenzo to have been.

Have tested this today and I like it! I has a very familiar sent, first I got fresh flowers like freesia or honeysuckle...very strange that such flowers are not listed, maybe it has to do purely with my perception. After the drydown this scent is just like Alien by TM on my skin. I know its strange since this has very different notes. I find it very different from She Wood which I love as well. This is a very fresh scent wich turns into a luxurious seductive smell. It has average stayingpower. But very nice!!!

I only tested it on paper today and didn't find it uninteresting. I guess I'll have to retest it on my skin. It's different from the original She Wood and smells more like a classic. I didn't feel like it's a must-have, but at least I woukd re-try it. PS: I retried it and found it to be a rather soft scent. Like sun on your skin. On me it had a rather aquatic staying power and also reminded a bit of Nina Ricci L'air du temps. The lasting power on me was rather weak, around 3-4 hours.

Mùi hương trong sáng và tươi vui. Có comment nói she wood golden giống với cảm giác bước trên bãi biển toàn cát và ánh nắng.nhưng tôi lại thấy nó giống với cảm giác sảng khoái khi sáng sớm bạn bước vào một khu rừng toàn cây còn đẫm sương hơn. Mở đầu mùi cam chanh và hoa cam lấn át,nhưng sau khi dry down mới ngửi thấy mùi thơm nhẹ nhàng thoang thoảng của gỗ và hoa (không thấy hạnh nhân và phấn).thơm nhẹ thôi nhưng tỏa rất tốt,lưu hương cũng ok,she wood nam dùng cũng rất hay

This is a pleasant scent which seems aimed at pleasing the mainstream buyer to me. It's, in a way, the usual acidic thin fruity floral but does have a much warmer vibe to it and more interest than most in its class. I think that Daphne Bugey has come up with interesting ideas in all the D Squared perfumes that she's formulated which aren't executed to their highest potential due to budget restrictions. I get what she's trying to do but I won't be paying for it.

Don't know why but it smells like honey to me. I like the scent very much, first of all because it isn't boring or tiring, secondly, it isn't offensive, third, though i have read a lot of reviews here which claim its resemblance with other perfumes, to me it doesn't smell like any other perfume i know, and, the last but not the least, it lasts forever, eg. I've sprayed it on me at about midday today, now it's midnight and i still can hear it

I've tested this today, for a second time. IMO it is almost identical to Nina Ricci Premier Jour Lucky Day, only this one is much more 'woody', in Lucky Day one can smell the apple and it's sweeter. But their resemblance is striking! I will buy it as soon as possible, but for now I'm more into my new perfumes (they are more floral and I feel I want to enjoy them for now). For me the wood scent is strong and distinctive.

This is an intriguing perfume on first Scent.It really does smell like expensive sunscreen on a yacht on the middle of the Mediterranean sea.Again this has no longevity and the bottle top still doesn't work properly.The concept is brilliant and the bottle design is great but the execution is cheap and nasty and ultimately disappointing.

This is summer's epitome! Floral, fresh, woody an uplifting perfume to make your day happy and sunny! My summer choice for this year! Lasts long on my skin even after a shower! Reminds me a lot Summer by Kenzo! I heard from the store's lady that the company is going to discontinue it... So sad if this is going to happen!

Thank God I found this perfume to replace my favourite Summer by Kenzo - which is discontinued ! It's almost the same- very warm mix of musk and florals ! It doesn't have the Almond milk and the Mimisa obviously but it's very close dupe :) PS: The better option is "Champs Elysees" by Guerlain.
