She Wood Velvet Forest Wood

Absolutely agree with the abovementioned: 'ignore the initial masculine blast. What comes next has nothing to do with it'. This fragrance is a perfect rhapsody to evergreen femininity and beauty of Nature. Just stay silent and breathe the air around; air of pine forest. It's not She the scent catches or how hard She runs It's the rain on Her face, the wind in Her hair and the spirit inside.. And it's so uplifting, that you're gliding like an elf, a sublime creature, who triggers a process of elevation.... But don't be fooled by her ephemerallity; her trail is so voluptuous, so aphrodisiacal- perfect marriage of animalic ambergris with sensuous wood! She is at once serene and assertive offering a deceptively simple elegance that is so hard to achieve. Was absolutely stunned when I discovered how familiarly She Wood Velvet Forest Wood played on my skin- in the same way as my favourite Skin by Trussardi that has recently been discontinued. What a relief! All the strings are still attached, still here..just Love, Love ,Love it!!!! P.S. Can't not to mention, how much Ive been amazed to find that My Burberry by Burberry resembles She Wood VFW in the overall drydown, especially, if you know that they share not a single common note, except, patchouli in the base indeed Ignore the initial rosy feminine blast. What comes next...is a different story.....'

Blind buy, as I'm a fan of anything green and this one got many good reviews. I really like it. Very nice, leafy green scent. Very glad that the pine/vertiver aren't overdone in this one, otherwise it would have been too strong and too masculine. It's a great effort by Dsquared - they truly produced something I could mistake for a niche creation. It smells so fresh, crisp and smooth, just like green leaves in the spring rain with a little bit of florals shimmering in the background. I found my everyday scent that's a little less green than Diptyque Eau de Lierre. They don't really smell alike - but I can almost guarantee if you like either one of them - you will love the other. This is Eau de Lierre's 'high street' cousin. What a great alternative to citrus for summer! One of the most peaceful fragrances I came across, a true zen feeling captured in a bottle. Perhaps because I love forests and nature in real life and this is the scent I crave so often, transports me to a quiet, dense forest where I can relax and breathe in all its glory. My only complaint is that it's a very muted scent and silliage is not impressive. However I spray it in my hair and it makes the scent last longer, it makes my hair smell divine! (The drydown on clothes is also quite divine - violets+powder, very reminescent of Balmain Ivoire's drydown)

(PORTUGUESE) Esse perfume não é apenas um perfume...é um meio de transporte.....sim, ele te tansporta de verdade, ao fechar os olhos, para uma floresta de pinhos, com todo seu frescor dos lagos e cascatas, com seus aromas de flores, de mato, de musgo, e nem por isso você se sente um lenhador; ao contrário, você se sente muito feminina, pois estes aromas te envolvem delicadamente como se usasse um vestido feito desses aromas. Não é invasivo, não deixa rastros, mas quem se senta ao seu lado sente esses aromas e viaja com você , de carona...srssrrss.....Só peca um pouco na fixação, que deveria ser melhor. (ENGLISH) This perfume is not just a perfume ... is a means of transport ..... yes, he will tansporta really, when you close your eyes for a pine forest, with all its freshness of lakes and waterfalls, with its aromas of flowers, grass, moss, and even so you feel a lumberjack, but instead you feel very feminine, because they involve you with aromas gently as if he wore a dress made of these aromas. It is not invasive, leaves no trace, but who sits next to you feels these flavors and travels with you, ride ... srssrrss ..... Just a little piece in the setting, which should be better.

This is lovely. Green forest sprites greet you in the beginning, in a lush, enchanting forest full of pines. At this point, it is very cool and refreshing, thanks to the galbanum. Fresh, mossy pine needles, just after a thunderstorm. But the forest is short lived, and you find yourself walking down a wooded lane, lined with cedars. It is very green and lush, full of tiny delicate wildflowers. At this point it is so soft and peaceful. Violets take center stage, making you realize you have crossed this path before. You feel like being wrapped in the softest, warmest velvet blanket that has been warmed in the mid morning sun. Powdered with talc. Velvet Forest indeed. Beautiful. So polite and inoffensive, soft and light. I love Dsquared perfumes. Looking forward to something new from them.... This is definitely one I will wear when I want to 'reconnect' with myself, whether it be a hike on one the paths at our 'little pine forest' or just sitting with a good book and a favorite cup of tea.

I've been looking around for a clean, wood-based fragrance that wasn't too floral or fruity, and out of all the She Wood range, this was the one that was the most beautifully composed. Velvet Forest Wood has a panoramic progression from green, pine-scented forest canopy after the rain, down to clean, skin-like wood. As you get closer to the ground, you start to smell sweet, resinous wood sap and soft earthiness. When I first wore it on my skin, I was struck by how much the overall dry-down resembled a greener Prada Infusion d'Iris. Not surprising when I realised they shared common notes of galbanum, cedar, vetiver, and powdery florals. The amber also gives a vein of sweetness and warmth that echoes the benzoin in Infusion d'Iris. I think this is under-marketed and overlooked in most parts of the world, and while I love the fact that I can find it at discounters for a very good price, I also worry that this will be on its way out for Dsquared2 soon.
