Description

He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood was launched in 2009.
Vera1958 – :
Wood and a hint of smoke.
Winter/fall scent for casual situations.
Too harsh for office.
Overall something between 8-9/10 because it’s quite unique.
vitalik76 – :
It’s woody and fresh, some kind of ozone. It seems like you enter the forest at our Ukrainian Carpathians with mountain rivers and flowers; dry branches are crunching under your feet; the sun breaks through pines.
I would say this is a unisex fragrance, but the pepper here gives that harshness, that only male should wear. It’s not one from my favorite, but I definitely love it.
I have 21G13AH1 batch – no performance issues. Yeah, this one is not loud, but lasts 7-8 hours on me.
vitekow – :
First off it’s very natural smelling fragrance. I remember one of my ex girlfriend had a parfum like this all the time on, i don’t mean it’s feminine but could be considered as unisex easily, may be her memories got me to love this fragrance.
In the Opening for like 5 mins all i get Encre Noir, i mean huge vetiver bomb on me, then cedar and insence kicks in(still no violet)
After 10mins violet is becoming more prominant, and such a good blend and harmony in the notes, you can also get some tiny bit of pepper, then after drydown mostly cedar is noticed
It lasts and last on my skin, survives a shower.. I mean appr. 10 hours, okay not a project monster but i think RMW is not meant to be a beast in terms of projection, it’s like it’s smell so soft and pleasent. It reminds you from time to time that it’s still there
Spring and Fall is perfect for it and layers great with EN Lalique
Great blind buy!
Roman43rg – :
The best woody scent i ever smelled. I am transported to the middle of the wood instantly everytime i smelled this
nedbailo.a – :
The dry down is somewhat similar to Prada Infusion D’Iris…
viktor_56-2 – :
winter/spring outdoors and masterpiece…best outdoor woody scent with violets.,….such a gorgeous scent..genuine and will always be a classic
alex5960 – :
It does sort of smell like a walk in a forest. Far from overpowering, it’s rather weak as it sits close to the skin even after I just sprayed it. Reminiscent of some deodorants. Overall, it’s nice.
Spexocorronee – :
I bought this very recently and it doesn’t even last 90 minutes on my skin. It is a 2017 batch. Where is this monster longevity I’ve heard about?? Stunned I tried the regular he wood on my skin to compare and it behaved how any proper fragrance should i got 5-6 hours easy. Never will I blind buy again …
Nice bottle however.
wremnjitreste – :
A great classic scent that has a rough and tumble edge.
It does the magic of reminding you of the rocky mountains. The smell of stone, fir, and the pleasant structure of the original.
This is a better version of the original, which was lacking wood and a base to the fragrance. You get it here , but it does have a bit of a different feel.
4 to 6 hours and fair projection.
Mature Men who love Terre de hermes or Dunhill Icon will find this a pleasant surprise.
A great gift for Dad.
ShootoPhefs – :
Smells like forest, very fresh and woody.
vijllietta – :
Reminds me of an old man in a flannel shirt. Nature type of guy. Not sexy in my opinion.
56210 – :
i need to find where i can get a sample tester in montreal quebec to be absolutely sure it is the scent i want to wear b4 i buy it. can anyone help?
Shipilov9 – :
i recoiled at the first sniff of this scent. it smelled like zoologist’s “beaver” which i so dislike, except that this one i can wear and enjoy because it doesn’t have the musky wet animal odor that “beaver” has.
hmm… i can actually like this… layered perhaps with something citrusy… nah, it’s good as is.
Caroline_fromAD – :
Very nice woody floral fragrance. Completely reminds me of autumn in Berlin. Has some similar vibe to Fahrenheit by Dior because of the note of violet, but much more versatile and can be weared all year around in every situation. The sillage and longetivity are average at it’s best – 6 hrs+. 8,5/10.

bogoslavik – :
I blind bought this one. Despite an amazing sounding note break down, to my nose this was a big no. It smelled exactly like a just opened package of baby diapers. Any parent knows that smell, straight diapers. While it lasted all day and had decent projection the smell was just not what I was looking for.
PYK – :
Got a sample of this and I have to say it’s definitely not for me. The original HeWood has been recommended to me many times given my likes, but a few users warned that I might not like it since I tend to not enjoy soft/soapy/powdery frags. This is definitely in that realm of soapy frags. The violet is really prominent and lends this frag a soft/soapy/floral vibe mixed with very soft woods. It’s more unisex than masculine imo. It’s difficult for me to detect the others notes in this, I can perhaps smell a little bit of soft musk, maybe a touch of vetiver, I don’t get the incense or black pepper in here at all. The dry down is almost 100% violet and powdery woods. Definitely not something I’d wear.
vitaliy1972 – :
A great fragrance that’s unique but not in the possibly offputing kind of way. It really does evoke it’s name.
It’s a cozy scent that stays close to the skin from pretty early on but lasts over 8 hours on my skin.
I would suggest this for more mellow situations for sure.
yyh495speagoessenda – :
I first bought this because of the Violet note in the composition.
I had been reading a fantasy novel where the lead character was given a mirror made from a Dragon’s scale. His travels had led him to mountainous regions with snow capped peaks, and in a time of dire need, he had to break the mirror to cut through the bindings around his wrists. The character mentioned the heady smell of violets and peppery cold earth as the mirror broke. This is exactly what I smell when I first spray this fragrance.
Even on the hot tropical days of an Australian Gold Coast summer, Rocky Mountain cuts right through the heat and humidity, and leaves me feeling fresh and clean. The violet is fragrant but not sweet and for me, underscored closely by pepper and incense. There is certainly Vetiver and Cedar in the body which is what I think helps give this fragrance that feeling of cool and fresh mountain air. The Vetiver is a softer fresher form more like the roots just dug from the earth, and the Cedar is slightly crisper more like timber at the sawmill rather than standing in a forest.
I think the nose behind this fragrance has done well to invoke the feeling of being in a rocky mountain forest. He Wood Rocky Mountain feels cool and fresh but also has just enough earthy spice to give it balance and depth.
I should add that this fragrance definitely has a crisper note in the colder weather. The Lily seems to come through more, but in a fresh way without the usual cloying sweetness.
sancho79 – :
A flanker to the original He Wood and, for once, one that improves on the original. The emphasis on the woody notes has been shifted slightly and the overall balance makes for a darker more interesting composition. The parma violet sweetness of the original has been tempered somewhat and incense, white pepper and musk are blended to give in interesting flinty, rock like accord that evens out and grounds the violet more firmly to woody base. Overall it feels far less artificial that the other flanker, He Wood Intense.
борюсик – :
This might be one of the first scents I ever owned. As soon as I picked up the beautiful bottle it was love at first sniff. Several years later, it’s still something I find mesmerizing. I’ve read a couple of reviews that call this juice synthetic, but to my nose nothing could be further from the truth. A very natural woodsy scent. The cedar, vetiver, pepper, and violet are all authentic smelling.
A niche scent, I’d say. Woody and masculine with a delicate floral counterbalance.
In terms of wearability, this definitely falls into the “for me” category. It’s amazing, but there aren’t many occasions to wear it. Wouldn’t be a gym / date / club / office / intimate fragrance. Probably best suited for camping, a lakeside barbecue, or a cozy night at a ski lodge. Anything with a northern outdoorsy vibe, really.
Although I was raised in the Canadian countryside (beautiful), I’d call myself as a full-blown city guy these days. Too bad, I wish I could wear this more often. The only days I try to pull it off is on breezy autumn afternoons, but Shanghai is definitely not the place to do this scent justice.
It has its flaws, though. Fist of all, it’s weak. Projects for an hour or two, sticks around as a (weak) skin scent for another hour or two, and then it’s just gone. Can we make this stronger please?
Second, the opening is a peppery blast (I don’t mind it, but some do), and the dry down is a bit too floral. The sweet spot where all the notes balance perfectly usually lasts less than an hour.
Still, it’s a lovely, unique, natural scent. True to its name, it does evoke imagery of towering mountains, cedar forests, floral breezes, and damp earth. Beautiful.
afan1999 – :
I like this, but I wanted to love it. I see cedar and I get excited, and don’t get me wrong it’s there, but toned down with the other notes, mainly the violet. It’s so prominent that I would dare say makes it border on being unisex.
If you love your woods but need something toned down, this might be the answer. It’s pleasant smelling and to be honest the violet prevents it from being overbearing. Some woods can be annoying and powerful to some people.
So, would I have it in my collection? Probably not, I have far better woodsy scents that I would rather invest in as back up bottles. Glad I just got a decant.
DIMKAMURIK – :
I’ve worn the sample I ordered a few times, and try as I may to like this, the violet here ruins it for me- the woods underneath are really nice, but I keep getting the annoying protrusion of powdery, feminine floral notes in a fragrance I want and expect to be masculine. There are much better woody fragrances out there, and this doesn’t work for me. Smells synthetically woody and powdery. I’ll not be ordering a bottle.
Update: I just acquired Equus by Lalique. It is a much better, more natural, less powdery/floral version of RMW. If that damned strong violet note in this annoys you, try Equus.
lre959Negeltzex – :
I like this scent.i personally cannot spray more then 2 times, but it lasts, and projects pretty good for 3 hours. Definition of moist woody rocky road. With some pepper for a kick in the ass. Pretty unique stuff here.
rasti_1995 – :
The best woody fragrance out there, at least for me. Very fresh fragrance, the scent of violets and lilies breezing through a dense damp woods. Something to wear every day on every occasion. 10/10
leikat – :
I usually can’t smell ISO E Super, or just barely. This is usually a mild floral fragrance for me.
Today, however, I was getting ISO E on full blast… I smelled like a lumber yard in the spring when the wild flowers encroach on the perimeter.
Vimax Enhancers – :
Guys and gals, I just had to share this…
Today, I put on a shirt that was sprayed with RMW 2 days ago and was SHOCKED to find that the scent had degraded to DIOR HOMME COLOGNE.
What an AWESOME transition! Beast mode longevity with the OG (on my skin) and Dior Homme Cologne on clothes for another 2 days. Very happy about this…
Osminog – :
I’ve been an outdoorsman all my life, so it’s easy to see how I could be biased towards loving this juice.
But after an unfortunate incident where I wore He Wood Intense and spent an agonizing night on the bathroom floor due to illness, I was a little trepidatious about getting myself a bottle of Rocky Mountain Wood, despite the great reviews. True flankers usually smell very similar to the originals, and the fear was that my aversion to HWI would carry over.
Luckily, my determination to face my fear paid off; and in my opinion, this juice represents everything that I enjoyed in HW and HWI, without any annoying fluff. It’s essentially a simpler and more balanced composition.
You still get that strong pepper from the beginning, but in this one, the cedar and violet are more prominent. The combination smoothes out in the mid, to form a gorgeous woody-floral, with the violet giving it that soapy aquatic feel. Vetiver is barely noticeable and perfectly set in the background for an earthy touch; but it’s NOT heavy and certainly not dirty.
People have described this as a walk through a cedar forest after a rainfall, a damp river rock, or a chic vacation cabin – and I’ll have to agree. To me, it brings back memories of camping with my family, sleeping in tents and cooking freshly caught fish on the fire. It’s amazing how much I appreciate this stuff.
So if you love the outdoors, I would definitely recommend this as a staple in your collection. If A*Men Pure Wood is a cozy evening in the cabin (sweet) and Coty’s Aspen is a sunny day hiking outside (dry), then Rocky Mountain Wood is a damp evening camping in a tent by the creek (cool). Just make sure you educate yourself before venturing out.
And if you’re not a big fan of pepper, don’t worry. Although it’s obvious when smelled up close, it’s magnificently blended in the sillage, so it won’t get cloying. I mean, who can be offended by a burly man’s soap?
Think: Simple, peppery, aquatic, violet, cool
Scent – 9.5/10
Longevity – 9/10
Projection – 7.5/10
Overall – 9/10 – from one forest lover to another.

QVicenqeQ – :
A dewy, woody scent that begins with a blast of violet and quickly morphs into a faint, warm forest breath. The violet is initially reminiscent of Dior Fahrenheit though without any motor oil of course. Just a lovely, woody floral that captures the ambience of a posh yet cozy log cabin. If you thought CDG Wonderwood could use some florals then look no further. Seems to sit very close to the skin and there’s something very post rain about it. I’d love this on a gloomy day.
DF007 – :
I am very bad at smelling fragrances so i asked my female collegues in the office to review it and they said that the smell is like entering a luxurious and super expensive hotel with wooden tiles. From there i knew that this is a good one.

Krivol – :
vihri- try Gucci 1 then, a perfect woody scent
degor – :
It’s hard to find a well-balanced woody fragrance for me. I have tried a few like the Azzaro Visit where I find the nutmeg note adding a bit extra sweetness and an oily wood feeling rather than the freshness I am looking for. Then, I’ve also sampled A-Men Pure Wood, which has a quite authentic feel but the omnipresent TMuller vanilla sweetness turns me off.
And there you have He Wood Rocky Mountain, a reasonably priced alternative that presents itself as a unisex mixture between florals and wood, and as I am writing this I sense the floral side overwhelming the woody one. The vetiver is also very strongly present here.
It’s a nice balance, elegant and sophisticated, great for people with a similar mindset. However, I also find it a bit emasculating and my quest for the perfect woody fragrance continues.
DravaTila – :
Calming and pleasant fragrance. The violet shines through beautifully. Maybe it’s me, but this seems more floral than woody. Unisex vibe. Appropriate for fall or spring or cool summer days. A white shirt kind of fragrance. Reminds me a lot of Prada Infusion d’Homme.
Update 28 Dec 2016: The powdery floral notes of this allegedly masculine fragrance would make your grandmother happy. Despite this, it still works. Very nice. But no sharpness, very soft. Note that there is nothing reminiscent of Rocky Mountains here. I lived in Calgary, AB, for a decade, and got to know the Rockies well, having spent a lot of time hiking, climbing, camping, etc. This fragrance smells nothing like the Canadian Rockies.
Wrommauploarf – :
I have read mention of a clean cotton tee. I have also seen mention of pepper. I have read mention of the original tommy Bahama and comparisons to some other fragrances. To me, this smells as if you have combined Tommy Hilfiger true star and the improperly marketed burberry the beat. You get the pepper and cedar of the beat with the freshness, clean feeling and a bit of leather from true star.
A very nice, inoffensive, natural woody fragrance. Very well suited for casual and office, and when youll be spending much of your day outdoors. Can be found very cheaply and is worth the buy. Ultimately i think i prefer both true star and the beat as separate entities but I enjoy this nonetheless. Not the best woody fragrance ever but an excellent job nonetheless.
einzig – :
Imagine walking through a lumberyard wearing a fresh cotton tee and jeans that just came out of the dryer. Longevity is good but not great and projection is average/subtle-ish
Pronarev – :
Masculine and calm, suitable for as an office work wear. The incense is discernible, so I think it’s more suited to a more mature style. My only concern is that the woody note doesn’t seem to last very long on me, usually 3 hours or less. It then morphs into a light sweet, soapy scent, which is quite pleasant, but anyone wanting a woody mood will need re-application.
ZOO7 – :
So after seeing all the positive reviews I blind bought this fragrance and I was HIGHLY disappointed.
I was expecting a fresh,clean woody smell with a lot of violet but all I get out of this scent is A LOT of pepper and cedar. In the opening I did smell Violet but after the scent died all I smelled was pepper and cedar. For some people they want that in a scent but if I’m to be honest I do not like this even in the slightest.
I also think this scents name is very accurate as to what this smells like as the cedar note is very natural and this is the scent that I’d picture a lumberjack wearing.
I was hoping for something more people pleasing and something I could wear to work but because of the pepper I don’t see that happening.
Performance- This did last 6-10 hours but with soft projection.
Overall rating — 5 out of 10 ! I want to give this scent at least a 6 but this stuff is just irritating to wear and actually gives me a headache and that says a lot considering I have 120 + fragrances.
What a waste of $40 !!!!!!
ustyugova1960 – :
I think those saying it’s fresh and natural smelling are spot on. I was actually immediately reminded of encre noir, but this is much cleaner, fresher, and nicer in my opinion. I actually seem to have 0 problems at all with performance, and I spray 2-3 shots up each forearm. I’ve worn this 4 times, and 3 of those times someone has told me how good I smell. When I and others enjoy the smell, then I know I have a winner. 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, and whatever other highest rating I can give. This smells goooooood.
sergoganet – :
Has a similar violet opening of fahrenheit with some of the pepper-cedar-incense of Gucci pour homme. Also has a note that reminds of Ralph Lauren Purple Label. Very pleasant and familar feel, especially on clothes. Its masculine without being overly aggressive.
Sillage seems soft, would like to see an EDP, or maybe a darker version, but it is very nice.
sky33 – :
Probably the best scent I have up to yet. A light clean, woody, fresh smell which was a blind buy and I’m pleased I got it.
To me it opens up with a cedar, amber, musk and pepper and then I get a dry down of violet, lily, incense, and vetiver after about a hour. The dry down is quite addictive and fresh like damp rocks in the woods on misty and dewey day.
I can smell it on my shirt for next couple of days and about 7-8 hours on my skin with moderate projection. Excellent value for the price and I will by again when I run out but 100ml instead of 30ml.
Projection- 7/10
Silage- 6/10
Scent- 9/10
Longevity on skin – 6/10

HeWood Rocky Mountain Wood
Perhaps the best rendition of walking through a heavily wooded forest after a rain storm. Few scents can pull off taking you to a place and manage to be so wearable. It’s got a slight peppery quality that gives it a rounded edge. The Virginia cedar is clean cut, natural, and oh so good. There’s no smokiness to this, it’s a fresh and spicy scent that achieves the perfect woody drydown other fresh scents could only dream of doing. Like an infusion of fresh cedar and a dirty earthy violet. It’s rich, raw, and dare I say creamy. DSquared’s best work to date.
For those of you considering Silver Wind Wood, don’t. SWW smells like a derivative of bug spray that spits in the face of this work of art.
Longevity and projection are great. Silage could be better. Stick to two sprays. It’s hit or miss with women; some really like it, others really don’t. But I’m convinced those that dislike it have an aversion to the uniqueness and unexpectedness of this scent rather than the scent itself. Did I mention the bottle is seriously bad ass?
Overall Scent: 8.5/10

………………………………
حس قدم زدن تو یه جنگل کوهستانی بارانی درصبح خنک پاییزی. تصور کنید توی یه جنگل سرد تصمیم میگیرید آتش روشن کنید، اما همینکه دست بکار میشید باران شروع به باریدن میکنه و آتش شمارو خاموش میکنه. حالا بوی خنک و باطراوت باران و چوب های خیس و کمی دود فضارو پر کرده. بعد از مدتی بارون بند میاد و هوا آفتابی میشه. الان دیگه خورشید به درختان میتابه و هوا گرم و گرمتر میشه و بوی چوبی کرم مانند، گرم و کمی رایحه گلها به مشام میرسه
یه عطر فوق العاده طبیعی و آرامش بخش

Simbadzloy – :
Does anyone know if this was discontinued?
I’m facing difficulties to find this one at the retailers. Over the last months prices skyrocketed, at least where I use to buy (kind of what happened to A*Men Pure Malt). Any information about this would be welcome.
maksim7776 – :
Spring has sprung and am enjoying Rocky Mountain again. I have a review from last Spring below, I just wanted to mention the mineral accord here that I’m picking up on…
This is a fine woody floral, but it is also very much a mineral or Rocky and floral. The musk along with the violet, pepper and Lilly make an accord reminisant of wet rocks. So it does transport me to a high place in the Rocky mountains, by a stream on a cool Spring day.
I think this is like a niche fragrance like L’Artisan Parfumeur. The contrasting accords just blend so nicely and harmoniously. The musc, vetiver and pepper accord with the floral accord of Lilly and violet. A great composition of perfumery, a modern day classic.
Lilly and violet are known to have an aquous vib in perfumery. So along with the mineral, mountain impression, you also may get an impression of a mountain stream.
Would be great if they made an edp strength to help the performance.
vonigol5 – :
It’s an awesome smelling underrated fragrance. Very few people are aware of Rocky Mountain Wood which I think is good. I’m glad to have got a bottle of this. The projection is very good for the first 3 hours then slowly subsides but you can still smell it close to the skin even after 12 hours.
As people have mentioned below it’s not an ultra masculine fragrance, it’s quite unisex for it’s name. However it will remain in my wardrobe for a very long time.
The bottle design is cool with engraved letters on wood but I found it difficult to hold and spray the way I liked.
Overall very satisfied and I highly recommend it.
Vovan55555 – :
Well… opening with a blast of synthetic peppery violet with vetiver and incense that transforms into a very strong cedar note.
As it dries down it becomes dry and slightly powdery. A casual scent. Longevity and projection are pretty good though.
I heard people mentioned this being similar to Encre Noire, but except for the vetiver I find no similarities at all – I must say I’m not a fan of this, sorry. Still on the lookout for that first violet scent that I like.
vik5er – :
Wow i am impressed. I am not really a fan of the scent itself, but the longevity is amazing. One spray just passed the 14 hours mark on my skin. Decent projection was still there after 6 hours, then it turns slowly into a skin scent.
Unlike La nuit de L’homme which baaaarely lasts 6 hours in total, and the last three are just a powdery mess, this one keeps its integrity all this time and you definitely know that you sprayed Rocky Mountain on yourself, and not a cheap baby powder.
Overall i find the smell to be a bit cloying in the beginning, even for colder weather, and it could definitely considered unisex. The violet in it gives a very strong feminine vibe.
kr109 – :
People talk about how woody this frag is but all I get is a sweet kind of formal smell which I have to admit I do like it but with a name like rocky Mountain road I was expecting something earthy with a nice peppery kick if I was do squared I would have named this country meadow road but that’s just my opinion and people talk about the cedar which I can’t detect but if you want cedar then quarom silver that is cedar personified just can’t beat it for the price and quality nuff said x
INGEMEQUE – :
Kinda funny, because the top notes stings my nose with its soapy scent, similiar scent to Biore face wash
At first I didn’t like it, smells synthethic too. I almost lost hope on this frag. Until its drydown, the wood scent start to kick in and the soapy scent blend well with the wood scent. I don’t find the scent to be on masculine side, rather it tend to unisex and calming, like we are taking a walk in a rocky mountain alone.
Perfect for winter and cold, perhaps evening scent

Favorite scent. Cedar and vetiver.
mishanyap1234567 – :
I tried a 3ML sample of this. Nice dry wood scent. There is a powdery note but the scent is complex enough that it does not overwhelm. My only criticism was that the strength/longevity was not great for me. With 6-8 sprays, the scent was very weak after about an hour. I would give it another go in cooler weather, but I’m not sure I’ll be buying a full bottle.
Wisher – :
I received a sample of this recently. After a full day I have to say that it is good. A nice clean soapy wood scent. Great for the office or causal. Good projection and great longevity on my skin.
A Very nice scent, but I will not be adding a bottle of to my collection. While I do like it, there are several other clean wood scents I prefer over this one.
demaTeams21 – :
it is a gorgeous woodsy/voliet spicy fragrance from Canada..smells so natural of different woods and incense,Attacks attention and indeed smells like mountains…i like it very much
AlfRed72 – :
Rocky Mountain Wood is a great scent that doesnt get the fanfare it deserves.
It is an extremely dry woody floral with a great sheerness to its projection.
It bottle is accurate in how it pertains to the smell in not only how it looks, but also how it feels. It feels rough and textural, like the grain on a 2X4. The smell is similar, related to a pencil sharpener.
RMW opens very softly. Be warned that you do not need more than 4 sprays, as it settles close, but expands loud after an hour or so.
It opens with a smooth violet/lemon/and cedar accord.
To my nose, there isnt any amber, and the incense seems more like a residual of the other notes coalescing than a intentional note.
The violet is done very well here, and tapers off dryness of the cedar. It isnt the wet variety, but it still manages to soften up the war drum of the cedar.
This top and middle passage stays strong for around two hours until it settles down to a relaxing pepper and vetiver duo. This is more a vetiver scent than a cedar in the braod scheme of things,and comparisons to Encre Noire are merited.
In fact, this could be a great replacement for Encre Noire in the summer time, as it flies the banner for a dry, woody vetiver scent without it being dark or heavy handed in the summer humidity (if you live on the east coast).
Its a great scent and is focused in its masculinity. Women tend to appreciate men smelling more manly once they get out of their college stage, and this would be sure to garner compliments from many a college educated female.
Projection is loud after an hour, but turns to a subdued, subtle scent after three. Expect it to last around 6 hours for more than a skin scent effect.
Great job by dsquared.

Rewrite: I’m almost done with this bottle, meaning, the 100ml bottle is done and over with, I only have this travel atomizer left which has 10ml capacity. Now that I’m short on money, I wouldn’t consider buying it again. Maybe this is not a comparison that anyone would like, but I’d say, if you’re new, go try fahrenheit and Encore Noir, and you could skip this mediocre creation, I really don’t mean offence in this statement, it stands as it is, it has its place for someone out there. Just read back and see how much I’ve used it. I’m finishing the bottle, man. As for me personally, I haven’t tried any other offering from this house, my expectation is kinda low, but I’m interested, I don’t think the brand itself aren’t that popular where I live, now I’m just thinking what do I do with the last few mil? Should I keep it?

Update. I’m wearing this today on a hot Spring day in Baltimore, with a few good sprays on my arm and appreciating it in a new way. Being a woody, I would guess this would be a cold weather scent. I think this is a Spring time fragrance, the woods reminding us of the Winter past, and the fresh spices and florals, celebrating the coming of anticipated warmer days !
Been reading about aldehydes, how they can lift, brighten and infuse a frag with mineral freshness. Thats what Im getting today, the florals with the pepper, wood and resinous insense are just so bright, moist, fresh, and sofisticated. I love outdoorsy frags, but this is classier than most. It is pungent and bold, I get excited about this frag each time I wear it. I still don’t think it get the credit it deserves, under the radar. Maybe the marketing was off a bit. It should be promoted as a classier fragrance. Distinctive bottle but hard to spray, od shape.
The violet note has gotten many more votes than the lilly note. I believe the lilly note is stronger than the violet and playes a key role in this fragrance composition.
What is intoxicating about the fragrance is the spicy waxy lilly note. It definatly ads that piquant note, and with the smokiness of the incense and pepper make for a great and pleasing accord. All on a wonderfull woody base.
The floral and mineral notes makes it reminisent of a mountain stream, so it is a bit aquatic in a unique way. It reminds me of Creed’s Green Irish Tweed and at a designer fragrance price, superb find !
A very refreshing natural woody floral, more woody than floral. I believe it’s the incense, violet, lilly, and pungent ceder that make for a beutifully bright accord, within the total compositio
