FougèreWhat does Woods (1997) (Cologne) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Voters place it evenly across daily wear, leisure and business settings, with evening and night out further behind. It reads clearly masculine.
Citrus notes give it a cool, bright start, and lavender carries that into a green, lightly spicy line. Musk sits underneath as a soft base. Floral and woody touches show in the accords, but the fresh side outweighs them. Thomson Carter Redroom and Avon Eau Givrée have a close profile.
