Woodhue Faberge for women

My mother had a bottle of this, I had forgotten all about it. I saw a picture of the bottle and the memory was piercing! I remember holding it and stroking the smooth wood cap. It seemed to smell so grown up and beautiful, it held promises for my future. And I still love wood scents!

Orange blossom vintage? Definitely has a vintage feel. Takes me to childhood where I first smelled this and it seemed so adult. Classic construction, very 'golden' in the way the wood, musk and flowers combine. Quite nice, but almost black tie to me. Definitely of its time, but elegantly so. Not dated.

My bottles are all empty now but once in a while I will bring them out just to see if I can catch a smell of this wonderful scent. I use to love this one so much when I was a teenager and I would still wear it if I could find a good bottle. So many of the vintage fragrances have lost that fresh fragrant smell to me though. I do wish they would remake these scents using the same strength as they did in the beginning.

I was able to find a bottle of the vintage, men's version (though I've read that it's exactly the same as the women's). Anyway, as JB78 says, it's sweet, powdery, and dense at first, drying down to a non-synthetic sandalwood with a hint of vanilla. I have enough for a few 1/4 ounce decants or one 1 ounce decant, if anyone wants to swap (or sale, if you've got nothing I'm seeking). Between ebay, BN, and MUA, I've got more than 550 all positive feedback. USA only.

UPDATE: I now have the new version too. It seems like a weaker version of the original, though not that much different. It's not as powdery or as dense as the original, especially the opening. I'm not sure if it would still be worth buying, so I'll have to give it a full wearing at some point and then update again.

Faberge's Woodhue is such a classic one. Starts off fruity, woody and powdery, dries down to a beautiful sandalwood and mild vanilla. For anyone with classic style and taste.

Ava Luxe makes a good dupe of this, too. If you can't track an original bottle down, might try that one.

The reformulated version of this is available at Vermont Country Store for $40.00.

The first fragrance I ever fell in love with. So different from the polite, girly, flowery fragrances of the mid-60's but less naughty than that "bad girl" fragrance, Tigress. The opening of citrus packed a punch. Then it dried down to a soft, powdery vanilla/ spice/snadalwood. And I loved the block-of-wood cap!

Oh, I used to love this scent so much! I loved all the Fabrege lines of perfumes. Where or where have they gone? This and Tigress were always my favorites! This was a nice woodsy sweet smell alot like Audace was.
