Now it is difficult to surprise with aroma. We are used to expensive perfumes, unisex style and sweet notes in men's compositions. However, when you get tired of the hackneyed sound and hackneyed marketing moves, you start looking for something new. Perhaps not very popular, but able to "hook". Let's talk about DSQUARED2 - an Italian brand that produces a good perfume, namely the Wood line (men's toilet water). Letual is the exclusive distributor of the brand, so you can buy your favorite fragrance or just listen to how it will unfold only in the network of these stores. There are, of course, online boutiques, but that's another story.
He Wood
The first perfume from DSQUARED2 was released in 2007. The launch was quiet, the fragrance was not presented in all perfume stores, but this only fuels interest in the brand. After all, everyone loves exclusives, right? So what is this Wood men's Eau de Toilette?
The founders of the brand DSQUARED2 wanted to create a fragrance associated with calm and confidence, not screaming, not running ahead of the owner, not forcing to turn around after him. A man who is confident in himself and his attractiveness does not need this.
Wood men's eau de toilette belongs to the wood fougere family. It is characteristic, refreshing, elegant, suiting, suitable for every day.
Top notes are grassy-fresh: violet flowers and leaves echo with aquatic accords for a unique morning forest feel. The opening of the “heart” enhances the impression: vetiver and cedar deepen the sound of woody notes, making it more voluminous. The base is dominated by tart spruce freshness framed by amber and musk, which make the fragrance warm.
The perfume leaves a pleasant aftertaste after application: unobtrusive, intelligent, if I may say so about the fragrance, medium-lasting, suitable for spring-fall. Many customers who have chosen the fragrance as a gift for their man note one interesting detail about this: Wood (men's toilet water) opens up very beautifully on women's skin, although it is not unisex.
He Wood Ocean Wet Wood
Flanker was released 3 years after the launch of the first "Wood" in 2010 and caused a mixed reaction from fans of the fragrance. The concept of closeness to nature and woody notes remains, but the sound has changed. The new fragrance is fresher and sweeter.
Top notes are rather restrained and interesting: sea water, amber and wormwood. Violet is the soloist in the heart, whose sweetness softens and masculine musk. A woody base that gives the new fragrance Wood (Eau de toilette for men) depth and strength.
At the very beginning it is difficult to reveal, the constituent chords cannot be guessed at once. Watery freshness is clearly heard, then notes of violet appear, which do not disappear until the fragrance is fully developed on the skin. Gradually, the initial fresh notes subside, but do not fade away, as in most other perfumes. The fragrance is not very persistent, lasts on the skin for a maximum of 5 hours, not a sillage, more suitable for the summer season.
He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood
The fragrance of 2009 is one of the most popular men's perfumes of the Wood line. He is loved for his unusualness and ability to transform. Like this? Landing and notes are revealed in different ways. Sometimes it is pure ambroxan, sometimes it is the smell of expensive wood, sometimes it is a delicate, velvety violet on a woody background. Like the previous versions, Wood men's eau de toilette is not unisex, but many women buy perfume for themselves and wear it with pleasure.
The perfume pyramid is concise and balanced: accords of incense, musk and amber are harmoniously combined with floral notes of violet and lily, lightly spiced with pepper. Woody motifs are organically woven into this discreet and laconic floral-musky cocktail: cedar and vetiver add masculinity and character to the fragrance.
Perfume is ideal for every day in the cold season. It does not differ in special resistance, lasts no more than 5-6 hours, landing on the skin is close, intimate. Suitable for connoisseurs of woody scents.

If you like classic quality perfumes and you're looking for a sophisticated scent, then this Wood Eau de Toilette for Men by DSQUARED2may be just what you need. There is nothing superfluous and everything in moderation: sweetness, smoke and elegance of sound.
Top notes are revealed by traditionally masculine components - lavender and sage, and incense suddenly appears. But here it is delicate and does not drown out other chords, but rather adds versatility to them. Musk notes appear in the heart, bringing warmth and some intimate sensuality. The base reveals vetiver, cedar, amber, and a little bit of vanilla smooths out the excessive "pricklyness" of the perfume.
Wood notes are amazingly beautifully played in the fragrance. In combination with incense, vetiver and vanilla, they create an intelligent and extraordinary sound, without the admixture of cheap chords. This Wood Eau de toilette for men is very long-lasting, sillage, good for winter or late autumn.
Intense He Wood
In the spring of 2014, the design house DSQUARED2 released a new version of its first men's fragrance. The fragrance is positioned as strong, but at the same time sophisticated and elegant. Its target audience is modern residents of megacities who dream of escaping from the bustle of the city to nature.
Perfume composition can be conditionally divided into three blocks: air, water and wood. The top notes are water: an aquatic accord, incense, flowers and violet leaves. ATwood dominates the heart: against the background of lightness and coolness, notes of sandalwood, vetiver and cedar clearly sound. Air is the base of the fragrance: after transparent freshness, coniferous notes appear, complemented by musk and amber, creating a beautiful long sillage.
Someone finds similarities between Intense Wood and Oriflame. The Dark wood men's eau de toilette catalog is positioned as an oriental woody fragrance. However, it has nothing to do with the composition from DSQUARED2: if Intense Wood sounds expensive and solid, then Oriflame eau de toilette is exactly worth its price.
Summarizing, DSQUARED2 's Wood line is a good alternative for those who want to find an interesting woody fragrance in the middle price range.
