Wood for Him

I actually really enjoy this one. The citrus opening is actually quite natural smelling and very pronounced and juicy in it's delivery though the mid and base do come off a bit more synthetic as others have noted. I noticed something with this fragrance that no one else has commented on though. Dsquared2 only claims Eau De Toillette concentration yet it only contains 69% perfumers alcohol by volume. That's a 31% fragrance oil base concentration! Toy Boy by Moschino is another one that has this same exact concentration yet they claim it is an Eau De Parfum. Clearly this one has a high dose of the natural citrus oils that I smell in the opening of the fragrance which account for such a high amount of oil base. With Toy Boy, that fragrance is a beast and I would say that it contains a much higher amount of base oils that most fragrances as well. My point being, the companies just claim whatever concentration they chose for marketing purposes and we're left to discover what the actual amount of base concentration is by investigating ourselves. Clearly, by Chanel's standards, this fragrance is an Extrait de parfum, but Dsquared2 is only claiming it is Eau De Toillette? Anyway, this one is a very nice one for warmer weather. From early spring to late fall you can boast this stuff just about anywhere. I love the very natural citrus used in the opening. The ambroxan here isn't over-done and accounts for what some reviewers are claiming as musk. The little amount of violet that I get in the mid is light handed and it's a pretty watery violet note which I prefer to more floral ones. The vetiver is just really starting to come out in the base along with the "white woods" which I honestly just think is the aroma-chemical iso-e-super. But, as for what they were attempting with this fragrance I think they did it extremely well!

If you enjoy citrus scents, with a hint of spice, warmed by light woody elements and don’t mind a dash of Ambroxan holding it all together, and see this at a discounters, just get it. Don’t ask questions, just buy it. I couldn’t help but laugh to myself when I sprayed it for the first time because it’s so good. I fully expected it to fall apart and/or disappear immediately but to my surprise, neither happened. It’s an easy to read scent: a melange of citrus at the top, giving way to violet, some warming spices in the way of ginger and cardamom, before settling into a gentle woody accord aided by popular aromachemical Ambroxan. It doesn’t have a lot of throw but longevity is solid - although your mileage may vary. Paid about $25 for it and I’ll use it all summer, so I did what any reasonable person would do: I snatched up a second bottle before the stock disappears.

It's lovely, it's fresh, it's casual, it's inviting and it doesn't break your bank. Amazing bottle with a magnetic cap and pressurized atomizer too! It's perfect for everyday casual use, smells clean and soapy with a very nice citrus opening. Edit: This lasts long! I easily get 7-8 hours. Not sure if my skin pH is suitable with the chemical composition of the perfume but its longevity is very impressive. I must disagree with many of the comments here suggesting that it's nothing special or that it doesn't perform; this is a lovely casual fragrance that does perform more than enough and is a very safe buy to get the job done. Also, the cap and the atomizer... So so good.

Buyed today . Rewiev 2 : probabily the best clean scent for all year . no for winter . No for night . Open light Citrus with Bergamot and mandarin on all . Then wins violet and vetiver on all . soft ambroxan and for me no Wood and no Ginger . soft cardamom . It Is not a power bomb in face . longevity very present after 24 h and very good longevity. A Citrusy and intense version of prada infusion d'homme mixed with Grey flanel and Wood Cologne . 9/10 . women go crazy for this.

Nice heavy beautiful bottle with magnetic wooden cap, even a maple leaf on top of the cap, anyways back to the scent itself. I get a mix between He wood and rocky mountain wood in this one, maybe even of a better quality than both of them, it is such a nice woody soapy scent, if you liked He wood or any of the flankers, chances are very high that you will like this one too, it also has good projection and longevity, great scent.
