Spicy, leathery, just a touch sweet, nice blend
First try of Davidoff Wood Blend, one of a handful of similarly-named fragrances (along with Leather, Agar, and Amber) that seem to be difficult to track down despite being listed on the Zino Davidoff website. It’s spicy, resinous, woody, and frankly a bit leathery, almost the spicy leather counterpart to the rather sweet-and-spicy Leather Blend itself. The main standout notes are leather, nutmeg, cardamom, olibanum, amber, and vetiver. It’s just a touch sweet, and spicy without being particularly animalic, just not purely woody per se, despite the name. “Spice Blend” might be a more fitting moniker, even though that’s now occupied by a Maison Christian Dior offering.
It reminds me of a slightly less spicy, slightly less animalic version of Salvatore Ferragamo Oud, which pivots more toward a castoreum-type animalic quality, whereas Wood Blend leans a little more resinous and ever so slightly sweet, perhaps midway way between Ferragamo Oud and Leather Blend.
Overall, it’s curiously spicy, resinous, slightly dark, without being dirty or animalic nor pivoting to something on the sweeter side, which is what I love about Leather Blend, but Wood Blend is a bit closer to a somewhat mainstream/masculine that feels especially appropriate cooler weather and/or evening, possibly a men’s cold weather signature scent.
It performs well above average and testers are sold on FragranceX for under $60, with free shipping, so it’s actually the easiest of the Davidoff “Blend” line to find, currently.
