Wood Pour Homme
Between a tester and a full bottle sits the size most people are actually looking for, and Dsquared2 Wood Pour Homme Eau de Toilette 50ml is that: enough to live with for months without committing a shelf to it. The scent is a bright one. Three materials share the opening, all of them from the same family of smells and all handled differently. Calabrian bergamot is bitter, clean and slightly flowery. Sicilian lemon is sharper and more straightforwardly zesty. Mandarin orange is the sweet, soft one, and it stops the other two from reading austere.
Violet leaf follows and takes the brightness down a notch, green and cool and faintly bitter, like the inside of a snapped stalk. Ginger warms the middle without sweetening it, dry and slightly fizzy, and cardamom adds an aromatic coolness that keeps the heart from turning heavy. Then it settles onto vetiver and ambroxan, and that is the whole base. Vetiver provides earth, a grassy edge and a trace of smoke. Ambroxan provides warmth, dryness and tenacity, and it is why a light toilette like this still leaves something on a shirt collar the next morning.
It reads masculine, it suits daytime and it is at its easiest in spring and summer, though the dry finish means it is not out of place in cooler weather either. Four to six hours is a realistic expectation.
Founded in 1995 by Dean and Dan Caten, identical twins born in Canada who had settled in Milan in 1992, Dsquared2 works out of Italy. Menswear came first and the house became known for setting denim, sport and North American motifs against a taste for extravagance. Its fragrance range is licensed out.
