She Wood Velvet Forest Wood DSQUARED² for women

If silence is gold, then this treasure deserves nothing but silence…
Yet no one can read silence, so:
This perfume has passion, but not the kind of “flamenco dancer”- passion, or a “hot couple making out” passion. It has the passion of a waterfall, of a galloping horse, of a cliff dive. It’s powerful and somewhat cold… I can see it as a unisex fragrance, especially in the top notes. It’s just the genderless essence of nature in a bottle. I cannot detect anything artificial and synthetic in that beauty. Mostly I get wood and daffodils…
This fragrance pushes me through bad days and heightens my best moments. It’s just more…

I had a bottle.

Actually Velvet Forest Wood can be a unisex perfume. It's a strong scent, even masculine in top and heart notes.

There were times I loved all She Woods I've known (the classical one and Crystal Creek Wood), now I'm much more into a different kind of smells but to tell you the truth Velvet Forest is really worth trying.

It starts with a strong, a bit masculine hit of pine and violets and you can sniff soil (patchouli, galbanum maybe?), moss, as if you were in a wet forest full of pine trees. The weather is cold. Afterwards the coldness diminishes and the scent becomes warmer, as if you were walking on a sea shore near a pine forest in spring (the weather is warmer).

The scent: 4,5/5
Lasting power: 4,25/5
Bottle: 4,5/5 (I like it, it's like home, nature being people's home; it's also modern).

Well... it is really similar to the original She Wood. I can say easily that they're twins, but this one is less flowery, a bit green. Not the best from the Dsq2 perfumes, it is solid, not so attractive, not so memorable, a safe fragrance, good choice for autumn.

This is a lovestory I have to end for a while...the love will never go away but I´m close to finishing my second bottle. With a few ml left I recall lovely whifs from you, making my day !
I love all about it, can wear it anytime, the bottle is modern and classy and not everybody is wearing it!! It is opening strong but goes subtle and creamy after a crisp zesty beginning.
You - my former Signature scent,
promise me to caress me again, some time !
I love you...

Today you arrived with mail, a fifty ml total LOVE...
I couldn´t be without you !!!

mm .. is nice ... but I think it is too sweet for me and in my skin is very flowery..

I found this to be quite masculine. The opening is a rather soft violet leaf with green notes that smell remarkably like cucumber to my nose. And then pine and tons of it blooms and dominates the fragrance.Several hours later and it's softened again to something quite pretty indeed, floral and musky, with powdery amber. But the middle stage of this is such a strong and masculine pine that I can't like it. This needed more of the flowers and amber to me.

I really like this perfume a lot!! At first I didn't understand that it existed two shewood and ofcourse I bought the wrong one! The velvet shewood is a much more feminim and soft scent, very sensual and cosy. It starts with a light smell of citrus and a woody/light violet smell. The citrus goes away rather fast.

After it developes into this lovely unik sensual scent that I love so much. I dont normally like woody or green notes, but this one is just so, so amazing and soft. I love the little violets in it as well. The only thing I can complain about is the lasting power, I think it stays on the skin for about 3 hours maximum. That's a shame. To describe this perfume with one word it would be COSY, I just want to undress my self and hug my self all night when I wear this haha

I found it hardly discernible and it smelled a bit like paper to me.

My favourite "She Wood". Safe for work/school, fresh, but in a "woody" way, perfect for a business meeting when you want to impress as it's not strong at all. I like it

This is described as "a woman living and breathing in rhythm of nature" and I think it does a decent job.

I get the distinct balsam scent and by that I mean the scent of evergreens (brought to you by cedar and pine). That is the most prominent to me. It's pretty realistic. Then there's the green note which gives it the "fresh air" feel and violet which gives it a dry powder note.

It's also got an almost mossy note (from the vetiver and patch) which I think represents the scent that you get from wet leaves and moist soil of a forest.

I think the musk, floral and amber represent the woman walking through the forest. The floral is merely a background note as it would be if that woman were walking through the woods with her perfume on and someone further down were to catch a waft of it. The forest smell would be foremost but there would be that trace of her scent with it.

As a result of the floral being so minimal, this strikes me as more of a unisex scent. In fact, it falls more to the masculine side imo.

It's classified as green-floral-woody but I would classify it as a woody (forest) musk skin scent.

I don't think this perfume smells cheap at all despite previous reviewer's comments.

I think the perfume is crafted well and meets its inspiration for the scent. That being said, I'm not sure when I would wear it.

I think men should definitely give this one a try.

I get very very green, juicy notes, like crushing young green leaves in your hands. It's very fresh, still there on my wrist after 4 hours, so I'd say the longevity is nice, considering how light this frag is.

It's perfect for summer, but does nothing other then smell of violet leaf...And not much difference with She Wood. I'd say it's pretty much like taking out the flowers and vanilla out of Miss Chérie L'eau by Dior - and getting a result which is 1/3 as good :/

All the marketing here seems to have done a good job to suggest images of forests etc as I'm thoroughly disappointed with the two She Woods that I've tried. This one I thought was better than the barely there Crystal Creek, with a mid-dry down which stars a pleasant but fleeting mossiness which lasted no more than 20 mins. In an hour the whole fragrance had disappeared and generally if I'd been told this was a 'drug store' cheapo fragrance I'd have said it was crap even at a tenth of its retailing price. Shame as I was really expecting something a bit special.

Hi.

Excuse me ladies but it is not simply Great for me.Yes Definitely is something different but nothing Special and I prefer SHE WOOD to this one.It opens with a Sharp/Aggressor and low level scent.

The middle notes is only Pleasant for me like a forest after rain.Fresh and Green.The base is something different more Warm and Woody on my skin.in fact i dont find Remarkable balance between the notes then let me that i say this one is a Modern example in the Peculiar way!

i think fresh note is enough to use in AUTUMN weather Specially when it rains.Good for any occasions minus Special/Intimate and ideal for a Lady around 30/35 years old too.if you are looking for something not everyone will be have then this is for you!

Sillage?Nice.

Longevity?About Average on my skin.

6/10

This is pure strolling through autumn woods, golden sunlight higlighting some branches, firneedles and wet leafs on the floor, the soil is damp and moss grows on old tree stems. All is mossy and green and you are in the middle of it all, breathing the rythym of nature.

This one is a really unique fragrance you won't meet on every other woman. A great scent for being outdoors or to emphasize your uniqueness and love for nature. Nothing to wear with an evening dress but with jeans and shirt to impact on others that come close to you. Lasting power is average, about 4 hours on me, sillage is ok, it's really rather for yourself and people close to you.

I prefer this one compared to first She Wood, which lacked the wood and was to flowery, this one lives up to it's name.

Arid and woody. It's only very slightly floral and very slightly green. I don't think I have the right chemistry for this. It's not doing anything beautiful on my skin. Fortunately there is no sillage to speak of.

For me it does not smell much like a forest.
I get more of a lake/aquatic feeling, as if I were sitting on a pier, soaking my feet in cold water, breatking in aroma of pines. It relates to the forest, but so distantly that it is only slightly reminescent of it. I think I expected it to be more woody.
It is very pleasant, but as Vertigo said, not lasting at all, two three hours and it is gone completly.

l love it, it gives me an eccentric sensation!

I love it!
More than She Wood.
But don't have much to say about it.
This one is more sharp and green - I usually dislike green florals, but this one is green - woody. I don't get any specific notes, just one fresh, crisp accord. For me not similar at all to the original. Would be my perfect summer scent ...

But hey! What's wrong with DSQUARED2? Their fragrances don't last even 2 hours on my skin ... Even the men's ones. And I love all of them :|!

I love it, more than pink She wood. This white one is more sexy fragrance, less floral but a woody fragrance why can be too floral? Real fragrance to a real woman. Perfect.

I've tested this one, but it's not my style of perfume. It smells like a green floral... I don't like green florals, maybe that's the problem!
