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.

Love She Wood! This is long-lasting: I put it on yesterday and still smell it today. After I got Eau de Gucci II & loved it, I wanted to find a perfume with even more cedar, but one that did not smell masculine. She Wood fits that, very soft but feminine and noticeable. Cedar from the start and throughout, and then violets and lemon.

I agree with Dinka. It just doesn't last as long on me. I douse myself with it, and it fades quickly, but it really is one of my all time favourites! I'll keep spraying.... It's perfect. It reminds me if you mixed Anais Anais with Hot Couture little.... And softened it with something masculine, yet powdery.

Such realistic cedar woody notes I can almost hear the twigs and leaves crunching under my feet. Delicate violets are prominent and dart around like little rays of sunshine. Nothing creamy or musky but a very clean and natural perfume...just like a romantic walk in a forest. A love from me.

Very strong wood, at first this is more like a male cologne. But it slides into a lovely, fresh, unisex scent. This is bittersweet slightly burnt wood, walking in a forest, a crisp autumn morning. I would love wearing this in fall/winter.

Oh, how badly I would love to sniff this scent again. This used to be my signature scent for years. I loved the touch of woodiness. It was perfect. I wish they didn't discontinue it... seems like all the good ones get discontinued.

I think this is sexy. Like on the advert photos, that way sexy. I find similarities to Creed Erolfa, it has the similar woody-watery quality. They have some notes in common too. My boyfriend likes it on me.

I loved this one the minute I tried it! I feel as if sitting on a violet field somewhere in the forest and the wind gently blowing and spreading the lovely scent... It's on the top of my wish list!

I always get nice compliments wearing this amazing perfume.So it doesn't last too long but in a strange way ,i smell it on my clothes every morning ,inviting me to spray it again and again.

This is amazing. The perfect balance of woody notes and florals, creating something feminine, but not overly so. It literally smells of freedom to me. Freedom and the woods after rain.

Don't know about this one being Woody Aquatic, I think it is a typical Floral Woody Musk. I love this perfume! It is a real sister to Trussardi Jeans for women! LOVE them both!

This scent is really nice and fresh. I think the name suits the scent really well; smells woody in a feminine way. I wish this was stronger, too light for me.

Tengo una pequeña muestra de esta gracias a una amiga y me encanta me parece tan delicado y femenino i love this :)

The smell of She Wood is quite similar to Roxy Love (Roxy). A fresh, clean, woody smell for summer. Love it!!

Such a lovely scent, too bad it doesn't last very long, nevertheless it's great.

I still have this one. It smells as fresh, cozy and woody as it did before.

One of my favorites! It's fresh and woody and AMAZING!

It has taken me a while to write a review of Dsquared SHE WOOD because I just cannot make up my mind about this perfume. I certainly love the violets, but there is something about the aquatic side of the composition which leaves me somewhat ambivalent. Maybe that makes sense, since I do not usually like aquatic fragrances. What is interesting about this one is that it does not manifest any of the seasickness-inducing qualities so common in the aquatic category. I have worn SHE WOOD several times, and never has it made me feel angst-ridden or sick. So why am I ambivalent? I feel that the quality is closer to the Salvatore Ferragamo INCANTO series than to more sophisticated violet perfumes such as Histoires de Parfums BLANC VIOLETTE or L'Artisan Parfumeur VIOLETTE VERTE. SHE WOOD is definitely distinct. I do not find it very similar to Trussardi JEANS (or its close cousin, Alexander McQueen MY QUEEN), nor is it very similar to the Sonoma Scent Studio violet perfumes. Despite its name, SHE WOOD seems very limpid and aqueous rather than opaque and woody, but there is a tinge of wood. Perhaps that is what makes this creation a bit odd. Rather than the usual treatment of wood, here we have a wood-flavored water. Of course, all perfumes are aqueous solutions, but this is a rare case where the water seems like an important note. This composition is not at all musky to my nose, and I think that floral woody aquatic would be the best category to place it in. Of course it would be all alone. (-; Rather than agonizing further over my ambivalence, perhaps, in the end, I should just say that while I like SHE WOOD, I do not love it. I am sure that I'll use up my 100ml tester bottle, but I doubt that I'll buy it again.

Okay so honestly, what this immediately made me think of was walking through some of the forest in Mount Charleston a year after it had suffered a horrific forest fire. But stay with me, because it's honestly an incredible, beautiful scent. Fires are destructive and chaotic and terrifying, but they're also necessary for the growth and health of the forest. The old must be cleared out for new growth to take root. So imagine a forest fire, doused by a gentle rain. The fiery destruction is over, now it's time for the new growth to begin. The forest is quiet now, refreshed, rejuvenated. New life is already starting, but for the moment, everything is quiet, calm, and still. The lemon and cedar jumped out at me first. I'm not super familiar with vetiver, but I understand it's commonly used in men's fragrances, and there does seem to be a slight masculine feel to this. Some reviews say it's very feminine, while others say it's unisex or masculine. I'm not a great judge at that, but I tend to love unisex fragrances, and I love this. The floral notes definitely do give it a feminine feel, to offset the masculine woody and aquatic notes. But to me, this isn't ultra-feminine, and I wouldn't call it masculine, either. Versatile, that seems to be a good word for it. Feminine if you want it, unisex or masculine if that's what you prefer. It becomes what you want it to be. This smells fresh and clean, a subtle perfume great for the office or any close spaces. It won't offend anyone, but it's far from generic or boring, and it definitely has an effective calming, stress-relieving quality for me. It's a quiet, comfortable scent. Something to calm the storm.

Well this is...not at all what I was expecting. Not in a bad way, just different. I'm wearing it now as I just received it in the mail. I surely look like a fool, sitting behind my desk sniffing the crook of my elbow. I suppose I expected a burst of woody forest upon first spray, but what I got was the heavy greenery of the cedar tree instead of cedar wood. And there's loads of violet flower, without a doubt. It ultimately ends up smelling like a baby powdered pine tree. Again, not bad, just different. Unique. I think I might be a fan. I admit, it's a bit screechy at first opening, but it does soften a little. I am worried I'm going to get a headache. I don't get a unisex from this at all, it seems very feminine to me, however anyone can wear whatever makes them happy. :-) It seems very fresh and clean smelling. Perfect for spring, early Summer or summer night. I'll report back after I've used for a couple days. Update: I hate to say this, but it's a bit too sharp and screechy for me. It never really dries down into anything woody, only cedar greenery and violet. I like it, but the violet is a bit too much. I'll revisit when it's cooler. It's already in the upper 80s here in Texas. Maybe the heat is making it sharper on me. Update 5.19.14: I like it a lot more today. After getting over my original expectation, I've come to realize it's quite nice. It seems to be more pleasing when sprayed on clothing (a no no, I know). The bitterness just isn't there on my clothing as it is on my skin.

A soft & pleasant lightly citrus woody-walk scent. Lazy, relaxed & feminine without being girly. For me, this doesn't scream 'signature scent' so it may be one you overlook. It is worthy of a full day's wear. "Woody aquatic" - aquatic...didn't sound my cup of tea. I have enjoyed testing this perfume & I would not place it in this catagory...although what to place it in is a difficulty! It starts gently with a warm lemony lift - not too strong, very mellow with a barely-there watery feel. At once I can smell the soft woods & hay & I detect a delicate jasmine/musk running between the citrus (leaves?) & the cedar. I only then start to trace the path of the dark wood violets...which is the way I like them, resting peacefully in the cool shade. The scent borders on masculine fragrance territory, which I thoroughly enjoy, but remains smooth & womanly throughout erring towards the sweet violet at times, but never loud or stripping. The woods are not loud or rough-sawn - they are polished & shapely - classic feminine curves. The dry-down is a classic, warm musk. No heavy ambers or cloying vanilla - this is a mid-weight scent. It remains close to the wearer & stays put for 4 hours. If you enjoy soft musk & woods but do not appreciate very girly scents, then you will love this. To my nose this is not in the same territory as the zingy, sherbety Light Blue although they share a sour/tart note. She Wood is far more refined & is on low volume. I would consider buying this.

She Wood Dsquarded is a true beauty. The top notes are slighly sour at first from the neroli, but very soon a playful forest violet joins the blend and the whole fragrance becomes sweet, rich and velvety, with pronounced moist notes like when dewy forest violets are caressed by the first morning sun. On my skin the woody notes are not very dominant. The violet shines almost alone in it's pure perfecton and the violets usual tendency of beeing overly sweet is well balanced by jasmine, heliotrope and soft musky woody notes. However, this fragrance may a bit faint for my first purpose. As I'm looking for the perfect BIG violet I rather find She Wood a fragrance I would enjoy very much at home. But for city life She Wood is a bit shy. I'm also not very found of the bottle as it reminds me too much of modern bath room design. Someting more mysteriously romantic would have fitted this fragrance a lot better IMO. What I do like alot is that the violet is balanced with floral and woody notes rather than anise/licorice which is quite common among the violets. Let's just say that this is a very good alternative way of creating a violet fragrance. If you are looking for a true and beautiful forest violet She Wood is definetly worth buying. It is a serene queen among violet fragrances, very easy to wear and you will do that proudly.

After wanting this for some time I finally bought it today. This perfume is really nice on me. It's fresh, clean and delicate without beeing too boring. I find it very classy, with lovely florals which smells elegant rather than overpowering, as florals easily can doo. It's not one of those too-sweet perfumes, but still romantic. I love the violet in this perfume! And i also really love the woody tone and the slightly more masculine side to it. Still, it's hard for me to see how this could be unisex - on me it does feel mostly feminine. The wood gives it edge, but does not make the perfume "manly". I find this scent perfect for both rainy and sunny days - it's not to heavy. A great spring/summer perfume. And I will also wear it for both evening and day. The scent is intresting, and I value that. Not something you would smell on every other person - quite unique, I must say. The only negative thing is that lasting power is somewhat poor, but not the worst. The scent reminds me of a rain wet garden, almost like some of the Chloe perfumes, but not in the same ... over-watery way. I clearly see the link to the forest and nature here! I think this is a perfume I can love, but I will not settle it one the "love-list" yet. I think I need to really wear it a little more. But I really, really like this, that's for sure.

I find She Wood starts out by having a lot in common with a fine NZ Sauvignon Blanc (minus the alcohol). They share the same slightly skanky (delicious!!) fresh cut grassy notes admist a clear watery green bouquet of lemon and herbaceous neroli. She Wood is a refreshing take on citrus greens which I normally dislike with some zest. She Wood becomes more aquatic in nature during the heart. The violet is like a Monet painting, blurred and watery. I suppose the hyacinth adds some depth to this stage as it is suprisingly robust for an aquatic. As the waning citrus encounters the waxing cedar in this composition I noticed an alarming 'piddle' aroma however it was relatively short-lived and I don't think it detracted terribly from the experience. Cedar is not very prominent otherwise. The later drydown does not speak strongly of woodsy notes, unless the vetiver is of the underwater mermaid variety. It lacks earthiness yet is somehow still grounded. Combining my most hated notes of citrus, herbaceous greenery & aquatics, this perfume has impressed me with its complexity and even found me liking it! A truly bizarre and pleasurable perfume, you will get hours of entertainment trying to figure this fragrance out.

The lemon top note hangs on for a good while...the florals come along, very happy dears they are. The base is not strong at all. The perfume wears well for about two hours, and lasts faintly for two or three hours more. The floral notes are strong(while they last), I often felt it could be a "Floral Woody Musk" rather than a "Woody Acquatic" as listed above. It only portrays water in the sense that it is delicate..thin..a bit of a shape shifter. At one moment, there was a hint of smelling a nice wooden cedar drawer-very enjoyable. It's not overwhelmingly powdery, just a touch dusty and gentle all around. A lovely, tender, silky scent... I should like to have it as a daytime scent, to wear here in the heat or also to wear out on a breezy cool night. I had expected a boisterous, pushy, woodier character to the scent, something very avant-garde, reading the name, looking at the bottle, but, it's not...it's amiable, ladylike, smooth, a tad irrestisble, and quite casual; perhaps a perfume that is palatable and charming to all.

the fave frag of my hubby (on me)... the scent is just gorgeous (as all of the wood) and its a pefect perfume if you want something very quiet, fresh but yet feminine (i mean fresh without all that citrus-detergent etc). it is really very quiet (i will have to say that again)... like when there is only you and the nature... nature doesnt give you overpowering perfume... it gives you tiny little notes here and there, and there and everywhere and so you have a beautiful composition of all those tiny little scents that beautifully sum up into a fresh bouquet of flowers, the trees, the earth and sky and your skin. wood is very like it. to me it has an addition of a little rose note, but not the bulgarian or overpowering rose but fresh wet-rosebud scent.. and the whole perfume is like rain in the nature, in a rosebud garden, so fresh and quiet.... very quiet (and again and again ;))... it actually even whispers. :)

I love this! I got it from a friend who didn ́t like one of the notes in it, probably the cedar. It is woodsy and violets is layered over it in a very nice way. I ́m thinking of a swedish candy called violtablett. But it ́s not a perfume that makes you feel imature or think of sweet candy. The wood in it makes it quite grown up and not girly at all. I asked my husband what he thought of it, I find it intresting to see what he thinks because he doesn ́t know the notes to begin with. "Hmm, very flowery. And strong/sharp. It ́s okey." As you can see, he is not very articulate when it comes to describing perfumes... Hum, wierd because I think it ́s kind of soft and can smell the violets but no lemon. Well, I love it anyway and will wear it for me! :) Edit. I have noticed that the scent that lingers on the sweater a day after I used this psrfume only smells of cedarwood and no violets, a bit sad!

Violets attack haha! Jumps out very lively and playful, young but not sexy, strong willed but friendly. Reminds alot of Fahrenheit which I from the start thought would make a good she-scent anyway (I also didn't like F much..) I also got associations to Trussardis Inside, the softness or something. Outdoorish and highly addicitive scent, gorgeous wood. Sort of bohemian, artsy. Wierdly both energetic and soothing. Great for casual/daytime/office. If She Wood was music, it would sound like The Band of Horses :)) Footnote: the bottle is well designed to the scent, my only prob is that the cap is hard to get off and that after using it, my fingers stink with some kind of oxidated metal, maybe rust, horrible. The metal on the cap looks like its been put there tre wrong way, has stains and stuf. Might just be my copy.

sometimes when I use this, I get something that smells like a powdery, sweet candy.. like a sweet tart or something. maybe it's the "violet candy" aspect violets give off sometimes. usually when the scent calms down though, I get a nice, fresh, dewy violet with some soft whispering, slightly unisex? woods(vitiver I'm guessing). here's how I see the scent.. there is a river, and hanging over the river's edge are some violets and mosses.. sprayed by the river, fresh, crisp and forever moist. Then, in the distance, the sun shines through the canopy into the forest, touching on and warming up the dry earth, trees, dry leaves. Sorry if that's not well described or written... the soft scent of dry earth in the drydown is very sexy. it smells very human, comforting, intimate. Almost like your skin but better.

She Wood is a very unusual fragrance...when I first tried it, I thought, this doesn't smell like anything I've ever tried before! If I had to compare it to anything, it would be Etra's Etro, but this is much softer and sweeter. The violet note in this one is more prominent than I expected it to be...it's a wet, sweet violet, almost milky (thanks to the heliotrope, I'm sure.) The woody notes (I get mostly cedar and vetiver) are soft but stay strong throughout and keep it warm, despite the wet feel it has...most fragrances that smell "wet" to me are colder in nature. For a scent that stays so close to the skin, I was impressed by its staying power...I slept in it and could still smell the woody, musky drydown the next morning. Definitely worth trying!

Very interesting scent! Being a sucker for violet I took a chance with this one, and very glad I did. S. opens with bright violets and follows with woody notes. For a moment I noticed a fruity note which quickly dissipated. And then the violet note arose again, mingling with the wood. This isn't a sweet candy violet scent - not that there's anything wrong with that - S. is a real violet flower in the open air, freshly picked from a shady glade. This perfume has very good longevity and sillage, despite what others have experienced. On me S. lasts and lasts, but it never overwhelms, so it should be work safe. Absolutely unisex, S. is a lovely and affordable fragrance. I like it very much, and may even love it soon.
