Description
“This woody fragrance captures the warmth of a perfectly cozy sweater. Like cashmere, it provides the pure indulgence of soft, sensual textures caressing the skin with notes of rich amber, earthy vetiver and sweet bourbon vanilla.
Commodity Wool is part of the Black Collection which includes dark, moody and intense fragrances for him, for her and for you.” – a note from the brand.
“I was inspired by the comforts of home on a cold winter’s night snuggled beside a crackling fire wrapped in the soothing softness of the most precious handcrafted material of a silky wool blanket beneath me. The feeling radiates a completely comforting mood when my skin feels the soft touch of wool, both warm and sensual with a luxurious touch.”—Donna Ramanauskus, Master Perfumer.
Wool was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Donna Ramanauskas.

This is interesting. Lavender and vanilla. It’s enjoyable, but I wouldn’t buy it. I can see why they named it Wool. It’s woolly.

This is definitely masculine (as are most of the scents from the black range).
Wool does not bring any “wool” feeling for me, but is a decent lavender/cedar/musk scent with a hint of citrus in the background. It smells very mainstream, with a finger feeling about the “niche ingredients”. I also find it very Close to Armani Code.
Longevity 3h, sillage Close to skin.
Try Before you buy.

I admit I’m not a fan of grapefruit and lavender in a fragrance. Together in one cologne? No way. I smelled this and instantly thought of Axe body spray, albeit better quality ingredients, but the same over all effect. Thumbs down for me, but this is definitely not my scene.

Smells soapy and aquatic at first. Settles to a musk with something bitter behind it. The bitter smell stays, but then it gets kinda powdery and sweet. Later, toward the end, it gets soft, warm, and a little sweet with lavender and I think cucumber notes. It does last a long time on me, at least 10 hours.
If it smelled like the tail end the entire time, I’d buy it.
napal3 – :
Definitely a softer (pre reformulation) Armani Code. But stronger than the reformulated version.

Have you smelt wet wool before?
Its rank, scratchy, and dirty lanolin. This is the oposite; clean, smooth, watery and warm smell.
The above notes are not a great representation of this at all. Much more of a aqua smell to me -like watermelon colone or a ozonic sorta clean smell.
I do get strong musk and cucumber on top, no citrus or apple. Then warm sweet musk again with woody-herbal note. Then fadeaway smells more like clean fabric with that statick electricity smell.
No lavender to me. Lasts ok, linear warm musk not much developing/changing on me.

Hmm.. I’m not exactly getting wool from this but it does smell clean. Also floral and plant-y.

At first I hesitated to buy it at first because it’s masculine leaning, but truly it is entirely unisex. This makes me feel like being wrapped in a boyfriend’s sweater. It smells clean and warm, comforting. This will be my me-time, relaxing Sunday perfume.

I see from that this has some longevity on other people. I wish it did on me. It is a very nice smell but it seriously disappears from my skin in about 20 minutes. I can’t even detect it with my face right up to my skin.

Commodity’s Cocktail Kit is a nice way to sample many of their awesome fragrances, and I do believe many are awesome and worth trying. Wool has been a sample I’ve returned to and worn on a few occasions and my opinion is favorable!
First spray is to my nose a LOT of lavender and vanilla, and I do notice the apple note. Very interesting and I agree with another reviewer – smells natural. This scent is interestingly warm yet cooling to my nose. Longevity for me has been up to 10 hours with 3-4 sprays – coming home from work and taking off my coat, I get whiffs of Wool. Very nice.
Typically I enjoy more citrus-centered fragrances, as well as light spring/summer scents. Wool is much different than what I normally go for, but I find it to be a great scent for the office around this (winter) time of year.
This does give off to my nose a vibe similar to men’s department store fragrances, perhaps a bit of YSL La Nuit or Armani Code Profumo… However, I like this a whole lot better and would actually considering purchasing a full bottle. Something about it keeps me coming back.
My other Commodity favorites are Moss (nice scent but very light and fades away in 1-2 hrs on my skin) and Book (VERY similar to SJP Stash, does have a bit of a “pickly” note but very complex, woody, and unisex).
nukoko – :
Very nice scent. Lavender, green, and musky. I would classify this as unisex with maybe a very slight masculine edge, but nothing that would make people say “you smell like a man!” Fresh and sits close to the skin. It lasts a long time on my skin but it has very weak sillage, the kind of scent that only you can smell.
gjrhsirf – :
Great quality lavender , mandarin and wool in the beginning, the wool note reminds me of hot clothes right out the drier (love that smell). Then a little cedar a little oak moss. Not too complex, it would be better if it had better projection and better sillage, which is practically inexistent after the second hour, and a little disappointing for it being Edp concentration mind you. Nothing fancy but not too shabby either. Great scent.

I’ve been testing all the Commodity black bottle range.. And so far this is my favourite. It is really cozy, warm, and thick! It’s nutty and woody. I find myself sniffing for more!

wolfgang nailed it….armani code
Demo87 – :
Soft sweet, powdery and very accessible mainstream scent from Commodity. Think Armani Code, if there was an Armani Code eau de parfum for men. This would probably smell good on some guys. It is not the right scent for me….
edit…
I have tried it a couple of times now and it is growing on me. it is good for some situations and is alright for the office as long as you don’t put too much on. This does smell like Armani Code but is much more natural smelling and is made with higher quality ingredients
