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.

This is a lovestory I have to end for a while...the love will never go away but I ́m close to finishing my second bottle. With a few ml left I recall lovely whifs from you, making my day ! I love all about it, can wear it anytime, the bottle is modern and classy and not everybody is wearing it!! It is opening strong but goes subtle and creamy after a crisp zesty beginning. You - my former Signature scent, promise me to caress me again, some time ! Today you arrived with mail, a 50 ml TOTAL love... This is one will always stand on first row in my wardrobe ! Its green,pine, wood and creamy citrus too me. turning powdery and a little sweet at drydown. It can easy be worn on a summer day as a refresher and you cant really overspray this as it doesnt have a harsh note anywhere. It consists pine , but isnt that masculine at all. It will always have a certain place in my wardrobe - and heart. I love it

I really like this perfume a lot!! At first I didn't understand that it existed two shewood and ofcourse I bought the wrong one! The velvet shewood is a much more feminim and soft scent, very sensual and cosy. It starts with a light smell of citrus and a woody/light violet smell. The citrus goes away rather fast. After it developes into this lovely unik sensual scent that I love so much. I dont normally like woody or green notes, but this one is just so, so amazing and soft. I love the little violets in it as well. The only thing I can complain about is the lasting power, I think it stays on the skin for about 3 hours maximum. That's a shame. To describe this perfume with one word it would be COSY, I just want to undress my self and hug my self all night when I wear this haha

If silence is gold, then this treasure deserves nothing but silence... Yet no one can read silence, so: This perfume has passion, but not the kind of “flamenco dancer”- passion, or a “hot couple making out” passion. It has the passion of a waterfall, of a galloping horse, of a cliff dive. It’s powerful and somewhat cold... I can see it as a unisex fragrance, especially in the top notes. It’s just the genderless essence of nature in a bottle. I cannot detect anything artificial and synthetic in that beauty. Mostly I get wood and daffodils... This fragrance pushes me through bad days and heightens my best moments. It’s just more...

I think I know what is the secret to this perfume. It is crispy cucumber WITHOUT citruses. In almost every aquatic I know wet crispy fresh notes like cucumber or melon are accompanied by a load of citruses and often also mint, and that is what puts me off most of them. Don't get me wrong, I love lemon, I just don't fancy smelling like one. And mint is too harsh for the nose. In this case there is no mint and no sour stuff, but cucumber combined with pine and leaves sweetened just a tiny bit with flowers and musk.

A wooded glade in spring dotted with pockets of Violets.I detect a slightly rotten note symbolic of the natural decay and recycling of the forest ecosystem.Then the Pine and Cedar rises to the fore and this perfume smells like Christmas.All too soon this perfume becomes a skin scent and ephemeral. The bottle while looking lovely is flimsy and cheap to the touch and the cap is annoyingly difficult to remove. That said this is a very 'festive'scent and is quite lovely for the time it lasts.

I love it! More than She Wood. But don't have much to say about it. This one is more sharp and green - I usually dislike green florals, but this one is green - woody. I don't get any specific notes, just one fresh, crisp accord. For me not similar at all to the original. Would be my perfect summer scent ... But hey! What's wrong with DSQUARED2? Their fragrances don't last even 2 hours on my skin ... Even the men's ones. And I love all of them :|!

bell'accordo verde di foglie di violetta con accenni legnosi di conifera. la prima impressione è fresca e un po' "alpina", come di foresta, appunto. la violetta non prende mai il sopravvento con i soliti sottotoni polverosi anzi, si mantiene lungo tutta l'evoluzione poco floreale e leggermente mascolina. ma a me piace così. il fondo è ambrato ma mai caldo. una delle poche fragranze "verdi" che amo.

Cool wind after a heavy summer rain over a field of violets in a cedar forest. Words are poor to describe how incredible this is. So sophisticated and elegantly distant, cold, quiet and mysterious. This is one of the best moods a perfume has ever put me into. P.S. Ignore the initial masculine blast. What comes next has nothing to do with it.

It is not masculine although one could expect it to be so - with all those pine, cedar and patchouli notes. But it warms up on the skin, becomes soft and feminine. You can smell the forest in it - spacious and rich, mysterious and welcoming. I love this fragrance. On my shlef this one is a treasure.

I've been using it for 1,5 year and now I can claim surely, "It's mine!". Velvet Forest Wood is similar to your old cosy plaid, it's the scent for yourself however sometimes somebody passerby tries to find the origin of this delicate and natural aroma. And you can be its vessel.)

Simply: I love it!!! <3<3<3 For once a fragrance that really is what it's Supposed to be. I get the pine and cedar strong, and I loooove it :) I really recommend this if you like woody notes! It's like like fresh pine forest in a Bottle.

Love, love, LOVE it! Got my small 30 ml a few days ago and it fits me beautifully in the cold climate I live in, especially now in autumn. Too bad it seems to be gone from the shops in my country.

My favourite "She Wood". Safe for work/school, fresh, but in a "woody" way, perfect for a business meeting when you want to impress as it's not strong at all. I like it

Oh, amazing green!! Just wonderful....My God, this is good! Edit: If anyone knows any fragrances that resemble this one, please let us know, since it's discontinued.

This was a blind buy based on the notes and the reviews, and I purchased a 30ml EDP for about £13 with delivery which seemed reasonable and worth a try - I like woody notes, I adore violet...why not, thought I. This is a very fresh green outdoorsy type smell. The woods in this are not like soft scented fragrance woods, these woods are freshly pruned trees, new wood for building a fence or deck, it has that smell when you have been out walking or working in the countryside, almost a woodshavings note mixed with that "outdoor" smell you get on your skin and clothes after being out on a cold day. I think the cedar and pine make this a handsome scent - not masculine but definitely handsome rather than pretty. I thought it was finely nuanced and had good depth. The violet leaf smell was very faint at the beginning, seeming to become stronger as the day went on. It felt very autumnal, the season in which I was wearing it, it may be too cool for me in the winter but I look forward to trying this in summer to see if warm weather enhances different notes, and as it is such a lovely cool fragrance . Longevity was moderate, I could smell this on me for about 6-8 hours, although there were faint lingering traces of violet and pathcouli and sillage was very mild, this wore close to the skin on me. I like this scent, cool, green, woody and handsome, perfect for when you want to escape to the great outdoors but can't, or for wearing for a walk or gardening so you can enjoy the scent on yourself but not overwhelm the scents around you. I sometimes revitalise it mid day with a splash of violet water which works well to enhance the violets I so love. The only downside for me, and it may just be my bottle, but the cap is so hard to get on and off, it is so tight! UPDATE - This seems to be working well as a spring scent it may actually work better as a spring summer scent, or may be good all year round. The more I try this the more I like it. Interestingly, I got my other half to try this as our skin seems to very much accentuate different notes in perfumes (poor man is becoming my guinea pig, the amount of times I have asked "may I borrow your forearm please?" must make us sound very strange should anyone overhear!) and where this is very woody and green and cool on him is straight up parma violets! So maybe one to try out first, although I do like this whichever notes play up strongest.
