Wood Pour Femme
At 30ml, Dsquared2 Wood Pour Femme Eau de Toilette 30ml is the bottle to buy if you want to live with a fragrance before committing to it, or to keep one in a handbag. Not every fragrance needs to be bought in volume.
The scent itself dates from 2008 and it is cleaner and drier than its name suggests. Lemon opens it sharply, neroli follows with a bright, slightly green orange flower freshness, and jasmine adds an early richness that keeps the citrus from being thin. The middle is powdery: violet is cool and dusty, heliotrope brings a creamy, faintly floury softness, and musk starts to blur the edges. Then it dries out properly. Cedarwood gives a clean, sharpened dryness, vetiver adds earth and a faint smokiness, and amber warms the finish with resin. Violet and heliotrope in the middle are the reason to smell it rather than assume, since the name suggests something much drier than it is.
Nine materials and a satisfying progression from bright to soft to dry, which is more structure than a lot of fragrances in this category offer. It is easy to wear and quietly distinctive. The eau de toilette strength keeps it light and easy, lasting four hours or so with a close, powdery trail. That is well suited to daytime, to the office and to mild weather, and the small bottle encourages generous use. A small bottle also keeps the fragrance fresh, since an eau de toilette left half full for years loses its brightness.
Dsquared2 was founded in 1995 by the Canadian born twins Dean and Dan Caten, who had moved to Milan three years earlier, and the label built its name on a collision of sportswear, denim and North American imagery with Italian tailoring. Its fragrances are produced under licence. The label's fragrances have always been made for it rather than by it.
