Description
“Embark on a sensorial journey with the Davidoff Blend Collection. Inspired by Zino Davidoff, founder of the House, these unique fragrances illustrate his motto: “Passion for excellence, pleasure in life.” The fragrance opens with an invigorating citrus note of lemon oil, contrasted with the fresh lift of nutmeg and cardamom. The initial luminosity introduces the royal root vetiver that reigns majestically at the heart of Wood Blend, amplified by the textured spiciness of saffron and coriander seed. The rich depth of this woody accord transforms into the vibrant warmth of the dry down.” – a note from the brand.
Wood Blend was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Julien Rasquinet.

I never was a fan of Davidoff- Too generic, too much of a beginners mass perfume & that sort of thing.
Last week the new range on display just caught my attention- Wood, leather, Agar– And I told myself- Okie, Davidoff coming of age or what?
The entire range smelled fascinating. First cut- Very classy. Nouveau riche, Mystic, sophisticated….. And they all seemed to have similarities on the mid to drydown.
Woodblend- first burst transports me to a mystic wood ambience- Fresh greens and spices mingling, lemon.. The top notes have a very exoctic thing going on that whispers mystic.But this gives way very soon to spice, saffron, amber with a subtle hint of leather. Maybe there is a faint touch of vetiver too.
The drydown holds steady on the Saffron, Some pleasant and subtle dry woodsy note in accompaniment.
All in all beautiful fragrance- Projection for first 2-3 hrs is good. Then its sort of close. I am still not sure about the longevity- 3-4 hrs is fine. Haven’t done the 8 hr test. YOu see, after a while it sits close to the skin in a subdued manner. But then I had put on very less spray. THis is EDP and thus supposed to be potent.
I bought a 100ml bottle for 7 grand. Moderately expensive by Indian Standards- Tom Fords and Creeds cost me 20 grand. I liked it that much. Amber drydown reminded me of too many scents I had used. Saffron/Whitepepper/Leather/Sandal Wood.
Agar blend was the one I liked most with its raisins, rum, cinnamon and wood combo. A wee on the sweet side so settled for woody mystic- woodblend. I rally don’t know why wood is highlighted as its gone too soon.

Wood Blend is an undisguisedly Vetiver-themed fragrance. In fact, the fragrance slightly reminds me of Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver. Slightly!
The only difference is that there’s potent woodsy notes in the background. I wore the frag to work this morning and some ladies complimented me today! In fact, one of them left few minutes ago! She asked about what I was wearing. I’m shocked at past 4pm, the frag is still detectable (by others)!
My fave from the brand: Leather Blend hasn’t gotten me this much compliments! Lol…

comparing it to leather and agar blends, which i love and own, this one just seems like an afterthought.
i blind bought it based on description alone. my expectation is therefore woody and spicy.
well, there is a HINT of woody & spicy but only on the first blast; after 3 minutes it is gone, left is the sweetness of amber, saffron, and some leather.
NOT woody at all. i expected a bit more from the woody-green-smoky spectrum.
i wouldn’t buy it, if i had smelled this beforehand, because all in all, it smells to me just like the dry-down of agar blend which i already own. “Wood Blend” has no character of it’s own.
is it a good perfume? yes.
am i disappointed? also yes.
addition: i have been wearing/testing this for 2 days now, longevity (on me) is 1 hour.

How anyone could smell vetiver in this is beyond me. How this could be a wood blend is beyond me aswell. This is Amber, saffron and that’s it. Well made, sure, but it’s nothing more.

Apparently judging by its aesthetics, this is going to be a Vetiver-themed fragrance! Bring it on! Can’t wait to buy this fragrance! Lol…
