She Wood Golden Light Wood DSQUARED² for women

Knowing the previous three She Woods, I wanted to try the fourth female one.

So I managed to get a sample.

Uhm...

Actually I'm surprised I don't see any mimosa listed. I don't know Alien Sunessence, but in my opinion Golden Light Wood after 1 hour and more becomes much like Kenzo, Summer by Kenzo. Maybe what comes from the ingredients becomes mimos-ish? :) Really, it's a more pleasant Summer by Kenzo, easier to wear.

Beginning is gold and yellow and quite close to skin, it becomes more powerful after an hour - and even a bit powdery. Beginning is like a staying in a summer forest on a forest glade. Sunny, warm, juicy, even a touch of a green that's young and becomes more mature.

The fragrance is nice but unfortunately nothing new, because Kenzo jumped into my mind quickly ;) It is different than the three She Woods but recognisable as coming from the same family. Too expensive in my country.

After a few hours it reminds me a bit of Crystal Creek Wood...

Normally, Floral Woody Musks would have me running for the hills but this one is nice. It doesn't smell overly synthetic and fruity like a lot of them do and it actually reminds me very much of summer because it smells a bit like sunscreen.

It's a nice and fresh orange blossom scent, something along the line with Miss Dior Chere L'eau. Actually, it's difficult for me to say whether I smell more orange blossom or neroli - they do smell alike to me. It does have a pleasant cedar note + a 1/2 teaspoon of light honey(or something,like that). It's not very original, but also not too bad. Perfect for springtime!

On me this smells exactly like The Body Shop's "Elderflower Water" which I loved in the 90s. "She Wood Golden Light has a lot more staying Power.

Love it so much, different kind of fragrance.
Sweet, soft and classic. An aroma for day-dreaming.

This is a pleasant scent which seems aimed at pleasing the mainstream buyer to me. It's, in a way, the usual acidic thin fruity floral but does have a much warmer vibe to it and more interest than most in its class. I think that Daphne Bugey has come up with interesting ideas in all the D Squared perfumes that she's formulated which aren't executed to their highest potential due to budget restrictions. I get what she's trying to do but I won't be paying for it.

sun in a bottle. what wonderful, classy scent. not sweet at all unlike others, more woodsy! love

Tried it on a strip and then returned to try it on skin; it was nice enough, a lime and spice opening, drying down to a light powdery spice. Not heavy, fairly easy to wear...but not sufficiently inspiring to be worth a bottle for me.

Unparalleled perfume for women, better to say for elegant and thin gorgeous girly girls!
It opens with fresh and woody transparent smell without any flower, all is neroli and blossomy smells mixed with softened woody notes.
So perfect and lovable, I don't understand these negative rates. So luxury, so sophisticated and so vivacious; full of life and loyal to nature and any safe thing in the world.
Personally, I'm totally crazy about neroli and woody note mixed and this one presents it horribly perfect.

longevity 6/10
sillage 9/10
scent 10/10

I've tested this today, for a second time.
IMO it is almost identical to Nina Ricci Premier Jour Lucky Day, only this one is much more 'woody', in Lucky Day one can smell the apple and it's sweeter. But their resemblance is striking!
I will buy it as soon as possible, but for now I'm more into my new perfumes (they are more floral and I feel I want to enjoy them for now).
For me the wood scent is strong and distinctive.

I only tested it on paper today and didn't find it uninteresting. I guess I'll have to retest it on my skin. It's different from the original She Wood and smells more like a classic. I didn't feel like it's a must-have, but at least I woukd re-try it.

PS: I retried it and found it to be a rather soft scent. Like sun on your skin. On me it had a rather aquatic staying power and also reminded a bit of Nina Ricci L'air du temps. The lasting power on me was rather weak, around 3-4 hours.

I'm in love with this perfume i just have to have it! it's very similiar to Alien, just that alien is deeper... Everyone who likes Alien should try this!

after spraying it on skin I can smell loads of orange flower with a honey note to it. It is fresh in te beginning but then it gets warmer and a bit woody. The orange flower stays prominent. Will test it again to get a better impresion of the developing

It has a little similarity with Alien but i think a bigger one in the dry down with Organza by Givenchy.It smells little nutty to me.

I must agree with AmberLove that this exciting fragrance smells exactly like Alien edp of Thierry Mugler. Maybe is more similiar to Alien Sunessence (the summer edition). After all i really love the scent. The staying power is great!

Definitely different to all the earlier "She Wood".
"Golden" is more cheerful and sparkling comparable to the others - less woody and more to the floral side without being too flowery.

Easy to like.
Great for spring.
Longevity: average

Have tested this today and I like it!
I has a very familiar sent, first I got fresh flowers like freesia or honeysuckle...very strange that such flowers are not listed, maybe it has to do purely with my perception. After the drydown this scent is just like Alien by TM on my skin. I know its strange since this has very different notes. I find it very different from She Wood which I love as well. This is a very fresh scent wich turns into a luxurious seductive smell. It has average stayingpower. But very nice!!!
