Softie-Fahrenheit

Dsquared is indeed a striking, special, and now also a recommendable brand, I must admit. Potion remains my number 1 and will definitely be due again in the colder days, even though Gucci PHI is even better. But the He Wood line - well. I didn't like the original, Rocky Mountain Wood was very good, but then somehow just a weaker Encre Noir. The other He Woods were above-average. Where does the brand new He Wood Intense fit in?

Violets, creamy musk, and light wood. And please write violets in italics, bold it, and underline it twice. It is definitely not my favorite flower and at first, it is quite unpleasantly violet-heavy. But then the scent becomes more beautiful, creamier, lighter, softer. Almost a softie is emerging. The number 1 violet remains, of course, Fahrenheit, the absolute king, which is more masculine and beautiful. This wood here is very floral and synthetic - it smells like the original, very much of artificial wood, which could be more part of an art exhibition than part of nature.

Bottle: this time entirely made of wood and I find it a bit clumsy.
Sillage: absolutely usable and nicely balanced.
Longevity: also here quite appealing 7-8 hours.

For me, better than the original, but not necessarily more intense, as the name is confusing again. However, you have to like violets - Grey Flannel and Fahrenheit send their regards and are somewhat like the previous violet generations.

That's exactly what I thought too: Fahrenheit brought into 2014, but not as a copy, rather perfectly reinterpreted and stripped down.
