Current version is 1/10th of what it used to be…it smells very metallic, synthetic almost…it feels lighter too, as if it is diluted versus the 1st 3 versions. If I were to rank them IMHO, it would be 2nd release, 1st release, 3rd/clear release, then this. I will happily hoard my vintage and sell this off, not worth it

The currently offered (2018) version of Woods is not what it once was. It used to be stronger.. That being said, it still smells fantastic – a fresh, citrusy, woodsy, outdoors aroma. If A&F would strengthen the potion they would be back to having a true winner here.

Just blind bought this re-released version of the scent I wore when I was like 18. I sold 1/2 bottle of my original version 6 years ago for around $70 and now miss it. We’ll see how this smells since I can’t even force myself into an A&F store at this point in my life to test.

Reminds me of Gilette shaving cream and deodorant from when i use it in my teens. Very safe and nostalgic to me. Young crowd probably wouldn’t be a fan of it but definitely guys who are 25 and up will enjoy it cause has thst classic mens toiletries smell

Wow I’m surprised by the low amount of reviews here! Guys this is back for over a year now, and from what people tell it’s identical to the original formula. Well I can’t say I care much, because it smells GREAT. Just the right amount of classic powerhouselike scent, with some modern, fresh spicy touch that makes it wearable for 25+.
Honestly I get a barbershop – after shave – after shower cleanliness from A&F Woods, and it immediately uplifts my mood. Also very similar to Drakkar Noir’s current formulation but better performing for sure.
I get a very soft levander, not your typical powerhouse in your face levander – with some spices but I really can’t tell what. Perfect for office or daily use, not offensing anyone and it smells just clean and masculine.
10/10.
It lasts all day (approx 8 hours) and it projects low. It’s one of those low profile ones that makes you think it’s gone but seriously, going to shower at the end of a long day and it comes back to life just like that. All you need is a bit moist, body temp. The same goes for shirt collar, you can still smell it after a day of wearing it or while doing the laundry.
Sillage is low from 20 minutes onwards, but that’s the beauty of this 🙂

smells like showergel and slight spicy. Feels clean and little old school-isch. Wow I’m impressed.

I saw this re-release in the store the other day and it immediately took me back 20 years. I bought the original version back when they used to sell it at Victoria’s Secret and loved it. This is very close to the original, at least to my nose. Not for everybody, but it’s definitely worth a try! Great balance of citrus and spice.

Its back! I was sniffing around our local mall yesterday and came across a tester for Woods at A&F. Looks like it was first released in 1997/98 and has come and gone a few times, most recently with an apparently weaker version released in 2010. The notes are listed incorrectly here but are instead rosemary, birch leaf, clove and cedarwood per the company website. Woods was apparently loved in its day and has a strong following with auction listings reaching near $300 for the original formula. Late to the party for a cologne that several probably wore back in high school but all I can say is WOW, this is seriously some good stuff. There are not a lot of comments here comparing the latest release to the original formula but Omg the complaints on the A&F site are one after the other stating that the new one is weak and watered down. Let me assure you that there are zero performance issues on my skin… one or two small sprays on my arm was easily detected from a few inches away after 12 hours. Projection must have been a beast before because this stuff is not lacking and TBH, I would not want it to be stronger and overpowering. my guess is that most of those complaints were from ebay sellers mad that they will not fetch those ridiculously inflated prices. In my opinion, this spicy-woody-musk is an excellent manly active body wash/slight barbershop scent that I love and find Woods to be fb worthy, costing only $48 for 1.7 oz. Sort of an updated Drakkar Noir that will suit old and young alike. Although the website shows that they are out of stock in stores, there are actually plenty on the shelves. check it out before it disappears once again.

Ahh! This was my go to from 6th grade to 9th grade. Woods. I recall it smelled woody. Worst review ever? Probably.
