WoodyWhat does Original Wood smell like?
It opens with Guatemala cardamom, aquatic notes and violet leaf, which give a spicy, watery freshness. In the heart, Haitian vetiver, silver fir and cedarwood form a green, woody backbone. Indonesian patchouli, amber and musk soften it at the base.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters suggest spring, fall and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads mostly masculine and modern. Dsquared² He Wood and Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
