Description
Les Exceptions MUGLER is a collection of unique, couture fragrances from Thierry Mugler. They reinterpret the great archetypes of traditional perfumery and propel them into the future by offering a new olfactory experiences. Woodissime is the collection’s seventh edition.
Oud wood is enriched with cedar, gaiac wood , patchouli, vetiver and the sandalwood. At the core of this theme is Osmanthus.
“There are few materials as rich as agarwood: it is spicy, woody and animal. I have worked with the aromas I like, using beautiful, natural raw materials to create a wonderful perfume. In order to soften its animal nature, I chose the Osmanthus flower to add sophistication,
a touch of soft suede and ripe fruit, reminiscent of succulent apricots or juicy plums.” Jean-Christophe Hérault, perfumer
Available as a 80 ml EDP. Woodissime was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Christophe Herault.

I don’t think this fragrance actually has oud in it. It’s a light, peppery woody note (possibly the microdose of patchouli contributes to the peppery harshness) and a general “fruity” accord similar to the one in Chloe Nomade. Limp and common.
Meescuent – :
Starts off great, but eventually produces an off-putting Chanel Egoiste-like note on my skin.

Bu seri içinde en çok begendigin bu oldu. Ud sizi korkutmasın. Klasik baskın bir ud kullanımı yok. Adi gibi daha çok ağaç tarafına kaymış ud. Ilk 10 dakikadan sonra çok şık hale geliyor. Vetiver parfüme biraz ferah bir yapı sağlıyor. Sanki biraz da çam var sanki. Kalıcılık ve koku dağılımı ortalama.

Opens with a loud blast of sweet-candied fruits and Oud, and dries down to a semi-sweet oud/sandalwood/osmanthus combo. It is vaguely reminscent of M7 Oud Absolu, but I wouldn’t call them ultra similar but there are notes in here that remind me of it. This isn’t a fragrance I would wear, this could definitely be unisex as it’s rather sweet on opening and that fruity sweetness lingers in the background throughout only subsiding slightly. The cedar, patchouli, and vetiver are nearly undetectable for me and I get a tart fruitiness with some sweet/sour oud, and slight creamy sandalwood and osmanthus. Not my cup of tea at all.

Dry, dusty cedar shavings and a musky sweetness, offset by a sour, fecal animalic note which reminds me of a dirty hamster cage…

!!! They have reformulated the original release !!!
Now it is a fruity, loud and weird “thing” (not sure whether necessarily better) resembling the original Michael Kors for men from 2004 and the really penetrant JOVOY “L’Enfant Terrible”.
I actually preferred the rude original!!

Its a beautiful light modern wood and fruity. The nutty note that appears with the fruit, wood and osmanthus is very nice. That needs a bottle itself. The Patchouli gives it a sexy vibe. Sweet creamy drydown. If you like a woody scent its very good. Easily unisex.

This is beautiful. It opens with woods and fruit. Not candied fruits but rather a very earthy fruit, similar to the notes Ellen Covey uses in Bat and Tropic of Capricorn. Woodissime is not in any way similar to those two at all except for that earthy fruit accord. Very unisex. I don’t get the animalic vibe from the Oud. In fact, it just gets softer and sweeter with time. I agree with Meeru99’s review below regarding a nutty vibe, almost like almond but not quite as sweet. The longevity is great at over 8 hours before it settles to a soft sweet slightly soapy skin scent. This perfume far exceeded my expectations. I would strongly consider a full bottle.

Warning! Porn Alert!
Remember “Secretions Magnifiques” by L’Etat Libre D’Orange?
This one is its olfactory (porn) cousin for it smells of a male’s very private area.
Some ouds smell of cow dung, others smell of armpit sweat but this one is a sweet, musky intimate B.O. that some might find VERY appealing.
I thought I would honestly put it “out there”.
10/10 for an olfactory aphrodisiac.
-1/10 for a safe scent for a job interview.

Just updating this – although I would still say this is much lighter than I expected it does have a very warm almost nutty note that lingers for sometime. I do really like it but not sure it’s worth the £135 price tag.

Got the full size bottle. First impressions are wood on wood, quite a harsh flat wood note with little else. Very quickly the harshness mellows into a soft Woody powdery type smell. Surprised for Mugler how light this is, 5 or 6 sprays and an hour later it’s barely there.
