She Wood

I've been eyeing this EDP forever - it always intrigued me, being quite black peppery to my nose, almost unisex, plus the beautiful bottle! For some reason I have never tested it on my own skin until I actually bought it couple of days ago. I have to say that the first impression was slightly negative - it didn't smell anything like I remembered it from just sniffing the scent on a testing paper. Floral notes quite overpowering anything else, reminded me of a lilac EDT I used to use on high school - loved it, but you understand that I am going for something different now that I am ten years older. However... as the day progressed, I bussed to my gym, worked out, shopped a bit and then it hit me - the scent I was actually hoping for! Very spicy, slightly woody with violet undertones. I kept sniffing my own wrists, totally in love with it. So I guess the moral is not to trust the first impression, although that is something you all know by now I bet. On me it smells remarkably like He Wood Rocky Mountain, a fragnance my ex boyfriend bought because I totally loved its unique spiciness. I can actually hardly tell what is the difference between the two (apart from the starting floral explosion!) , because there definitely is one, I just can't quite put my finger on it. Bottom line : a female fragrance quite unlike any other I know, autumny and warm. A great accessory to your favourite warm winter coat.

A huge Thank You to awesomeness who sold this to me! I think I am in love! My hubby and I are both wearing and loving this scent. If you look at my collection I think you will see that I like all sorts of perfumes with 2 exceptions I don't like the smell of tea or super strong florals. The reason I am pointing this out is because of all the perfumes I own, She Wood (love the pun) is unique! It opens green (Neroli?) on my skin and even from the beginning I can smell cedar and musk which stays with me thru the evolution of the perfume. this combination is creamy perfection. I would say cedar is really the star and the other notes play a supporting role. I think this is great for all of us women who like our mans cologne but don't like the shaving cream opening that many of them have. For example I love Givenchy's PI on dry down but want to skip the opening which is really masculine. If you like woody scents and especially cedar, You would like this. I don't get any thing aquatic but maybe that is just me. I would classify this one as a Woody Oriental.

Dsquared She Wood is a quite straight-forward woody floral scent, yet it has that little something that makes it interesting. The opening is quite fresh and reminiscent of a men's perfume, with its green neroli and peppery vetiver. I don't mind that at all, as the powdery violet emerges to make things dryer and woodier. Unassumingly addictive and obvious violet, warm and cold at the same time. I can totally relate to the woody aquatic description. The dry down is for the most part a cosy fluffy musk with rosy undertones, even though no rose is mentioned in the notes. It reminds me a bit of the dry down Roses de Chloe, but a lot less soapy. Overall a likable, well-defined and non-linear scent, which stays cosy, yet unusual. For me it suits all seasons, minus the summer. Quite long lasting, while projection is pleasing. A little goes a long way with this one. A new favourite, which has been getting compliments almost every day.

Matter of fact, there is no much woods in this at all. A bit undecovered, and in the final more. But this doesn't change that this perfum is really special. Some kind of floral fruit, distinct and different, very feminine even if was created with a masculine base. Made me fell very unique, and jealous that anyone use this too, because make you want this only for you. The people ask you what perfume is, and you don't wanna tell. But is very curious that I come back to the store were I buy my She Wood, and buy another one to give to my very special sister that lives 10.000 Km far away from me, and who I miss too much and will see again in 3 days after a long time waiting. And this is because I see that this perfume can make she fells so special, how she deserves. And I could by any other perfume, because I love a lot of them. But this is the only who makes me fell really special. And that's what I want for this special sister.

This fragrance is unbelievably beautiful. It is very comforting, yet airy and fresh at the same time, and it smells as if you have been engulfed by nature. This has been my signature sent for many years, and when I first started wearing it I would literally get compliments on it most days. I was very disappointed when it was discontinued, and the closest scent to it is probably the recently rereleased 'He Wood Original'. Although He Wood, as the name suggests, definitely leans more masculine, it could absolutely be considered a unisex perfume. I still really hope that they rerelease the She Wood Original, as He Wood is just missing that softer slightly more feminine edge to it. Another good alternative, which is more feminine and with a similar notes profile is 'Kildonan' by Arran Aromatics.

For many years, I've been allergic to perfume or cologne. I was happy to find that I actually became immune to alcohol sensitivity over the years. So I looked for my very first perfume. After testing so many, I'm glad I found She Wood. This blends well with my skin chemistry and doesn't give me a headache. It starts out woody for me and then becomes powdery. I love inhaling the scent deeply since it reminds me of being on vacation...in a cottage surrounded by nature, a light sea breeze...nestled under the shade of a tree. I can't help reapplying again later in the day. Surprisingly, this is only one in a few scents that don't turn sour on my skin after long term wear. I wish I bought a bigger bottle...

I loved this fragrance and it was my signature scent for a long time. When I found out they were no longer making it, I didn't know what I was going to do. It was so unique! For anyone who is here to find advice for acquiring a similarly beautiful woody perfume, I recommend sniffing these four perfumes: 1. Hermes Eau des Merveilles - currently my replacement (year-round scent) 2. Bvlgari Au Thé Bleu - the most similar perfume I've found so far, but a little bit more of a tea scent and a bit lower longevity (spring/summer) 3. Narciso Rodriguez For Her - heavier and powderier, but still very woody (fall/winter) 4. Very woody to smoky Replica By The Fireplace (fall/winter) - cozy and smells like memories.

I think the name suits this fragrance perfectly! The first few seconds I got a pretty strong male cologne type scent, but it subsided very quickly and I was left with the most perfect interpretation of a spring forest. I can definately detect the violet and it's very natural smelling, not overpowering or cloyingly sweet. The cedar and vetiever give it woody and earthy tone. When I smell this perfume it brings me back to my childhood, trecking through the woods with my grandparents. I can smell the fresh spring flowers, the strong and dry scent of tree bark and the slight earthly dampness after rain. Truly a unique scent!

Two words- liberal and carefree. That's how I really feel when I sprayed this on. It seems as though life has a purpose and you're one with the world. Other reviewers may state that it's masculine due to the woodsy notes while others think that it's more feminine as florals are thrown into this gem of a mixture. But due to the genderless nature of nature itself, I don't see why there's a need to label this dearie. You will look and feel good just with a crisp white shirt paired with jeans, and a couple spritz of this gem. I just can't wait for my bottle to finish so I could get my hands on Velvet Forest Wood ;)

I am in love with this scent! I wandered into the store asking the girl for a woody, solemn, resiny, incense like scent. She blinked quite a few times and sprayed Sunflowers on me. I sighed and told her I would rather scavenge the shelves by myself. Hidden way in the low regions I discovered this beautiful bottle of She Wood. It is all I asked for, and more. It has the wood and the solemnity but it also has incredible warmth and comfort. Like a pink blanket inviting me to ly down in a sunny forest. I regret that silage and longevity are so low, because I would love to infuse everyone around me with this.

Such an extraordinary scent for such a classy,confident woman.It starts like a breez in to a jungle,reaching the river wich sounds roaring from distance.Then you smell a touch of sweetness just to remind, you are a woman.Drys down a little floral tasting viola and musky and lasts enough to make you feel so...sophesticated.Has nothing to do with feeling extra sassy or jiucy,just a chic woman who knows exactly where she goes and what she wants.Dont you love her?Excelent choice for woody fans,any time any where any age.

I have finally found a woody violet that isn't to harsh.(with the citrus) It is a lovely violet with a nice soft well-rounded cedar that gives you the impression of being surrounded by violets in a forest. Just a slight touch of powder gives the whole effect a plush velvety feel. This is a very purple perfume...very lovely and soft. The heliotrope gives this a lovely aura also. Just a very well made perfume. It's almost like opening up a cedar chest and finding it full of lightly powder dusted parma violets...;)

My husband bought He Wood and I love it! Was tempted to wear it myself, but am glad I picked up She Wood, it is the wonderfully feminine version of my hubby's cologne! On my skin the fresh cedar, amber and floral tones last longest, and I compared this with She Wood Velvet, which became more powdery, soft and floral on me (didn't like that!) One person compared this to Light Blue, but I don't think they're similar at all. It's fresh, casual, outdoorsy, feminine, sophisticated and very unique. I love it!!!

I love this one- in my opinion, it is THE best violet because, while staying true to its essential nature, it never gets even close to being cloying. Also, I think that SheWOOD is exquisitely blended- the lemon and jasmine top notes meld beautifully into the violet heart, making a smooth transition, to the benefit of all parties. The scent does seem a little light on wood, given its name, but all parts complement each other beautifully, so I'm definitely not complaining.WONDERFUL fragrance!

Reacting to Chill85! Thank you for 'Kildonan' by Arran Aromatics. For those who still miss the unique scent of She Wood, I have finally (after many years) found the closest match. Layer "Kildonan by Arran" and "Prada Infusion d'Iris" on top of each other. Both are similar to She Wood in some ways, and together they smell practically indistinguishable. Kildonan has exactly the vibe of woody, aquatic elements, and delicate violets. In combination with Prada Infusion d'Iris, it's incredible.

A softly subtle woodsy fragrance, so feminine but not sweet. I wouldn't call it aquatic at all. It's warm and inviting, I find it quite beautiful. I've never taken much note of violets before and I'm impressed. My favorite wood scent until now has been Estee Lauder Sensuous, but She Wood is so much more affordable and I feel more wearable as it suits my personality better. Going onto my wanted list. Sillage is soft but has lasted 8 hours on me.

This fragrance was an impulse buy for me, tested it and 3 minutes later I was buying it partly due to how charmed my husband was. This scent isn't girly girly but unisex it is not. It starts with a woody explosion but the heart is floral and powdery. It's a little too powdery for my tastes by the end of it but I'm satisfied nontheless. I don't get any citrus or jasmine notes like the pyramid says. I wish it'd last a bit longer though.

I bought this perfume about a year ago purely on a whim: woody aquatic group and a sophisticated flagon put a spell on me. My first impression was perplexing: I would never call this fragrance aquatic. There are some woodsy notes - that's true. Quite powdery to me. However, today I gave it another try. I loved the dry-down. I'm not totally in love with it, but I do like it.

It's amazing. Cold and fresh yet cozy. For me it's perfect fragrance for the beginning of the fall, beginning of the school year. Itself it's like a new journey, through the woods, to the unknown. Exciting and inspiring. I would say it isn't very much feminine, but rather unisex. Anyway - great. PS: It smells like Guerlain Meteorites powder :D

For a couple of years ago, I got a sample of this. Since then I've wanted it for birthday and Christmas, but unfortunately have'nt got it yet. When I wear it, I feel sexy and seductive! A powdery musky floral scent. Warm, but not too much. I think you can wear it summer and winter. All the notes are mild and soft. Good staying power.
