Pure nostalgia!
Normally, I'm always slightly skeptical about new releases, especially with A&F, who have already downgraded the quality of their fragrances in the past.
Nevertheless, I was still excited about the fragrance and I have to say: I was pleasantly surprised!
The fragrance itself begins with a citrusy top note and then unfolds into a complex mix of lavender and woody aromas, which I will now describe as "barbershop" or "after shave" à la Gillette. This blend gives the fragrance a classic (but not dated!) quality that is perfect for everyday use, especially for the cooler months.

The only criticism would be that the citrusy opening starts off with a somewhat synthetic and slightly overly soapy scent, almost detergent. But this subsides over time.
I wouldn't recommend the fragrance to younger wearers (under 25) either, and definitely not as a blind buy.

I find the longevity very good, I can still perceive the fragrance, which I apply in the morning after showering, in the evening, even if only very slightly. Only the sillage is a little muted, but that's not particularly bad for the fragrance.

Overall, A&F Woods is a fragrance that impresses with its classic composition and will find many fans who appreciate its timeless elegance and who are looking for a mature fragrance that is suitable for everyday wear.

Re-release smells really good, old school but not dated, reminds of something like after shave. Masculine, pleasant, perfect everyday scent.

Apparently A&F did a re-release so I spent money with them for first time in 21+ years. Nostalgic fresh clean fougere. Not as powerful as OG
