Dsquared2 Original Wood Uomo 50 ml — Eau de Parfum

It smells very good, nicely woody/citrusy, I really like that, but what I don’t like is the longevity. The scent lasts a maximum of 2 hours, and the sprayer is more like a water gun. If you overlook the longevity and the sprayer, it’s a good fragrance with a quality bottle (magnetic cap, real wood, and solid glass).

I wouldn't directly think of a forest when smelling this, but one thing is clear to me: this scent has a wonderfully green, clear, slightly spicy freshness. I find that the scent progression is quite linear, starting off very fresh-intense and then settling into a fresh-spicy heart note. The citrus-green dominates at the beginning and then transforms into a green-spicy profile. The interplay of the different notes creates a harmonious overall picture. Personally, I appreciate the vetiver that gradually penetrates pleasantly. For me, this is a good-mood everyday scent. As a reward, you can always reapply it now and then, as the longevity is somewhat limited. Well, on the plus side, the scent is very affordable for the quality you get. In the base and during the dry down, you find yourself on the forest floor. That's where the vetiver takes control.

This review is of course subjective. I don't particularly like the scent. It starts off relatively woody. The citrus note comes out after a while, but it doesn't last long and the woody scent prevails again. The approach is interesting, but the citrus and fresh note feels too short-lived for me. The bottle is quite cool. Longevity and sillage are at best average. To wear the scent daily, it's too woody for me, but for special occasions, it lacks depth.
