He Wood Ocean Wet Wood Dsquared² 2010

This is probably the most idiosyncratic, but also the strangest, perhaps even the most exciting scent that I've come across lately. And I shout hooray that even I can smell something! ;-) Tarragon in any case, at least in the heart note, an herb that divides opinions in the kitchen. You have to like it or not. Then there's this "brackish" freshness, as if you had walked along a North Sea beach with an air-chacher and created an essence from everything that’s bustling around: algae, sand, driftwood, shells, salt ...

Upon first application, I found OWW to be a risk. I liked the quirky (albeit not high-quality) design of the bottle with the wooden frame, but the first scent impression still makes me think: Is this for me? It's somewhat like a dish that you label as "interesting," but really mean it, and not in the sense of "I've had better food"... or in this case, smelled!

The woodiness becomes clearly apparent after about 10 minutes. Some people here say "hardware store," others "coniferous forest." I choose Canada, because that's where this brand comes from, which I didn't know before Parfumo. And I can't help but keep OWW, even if I might not receive party compliments for it... perhaps just from the right person! ;-)

Everything else has already been said: a bold scent that polarizes (and at first divided me too). But one that does not conform to olfactory trends and pretends to be something other than it is. Whether you consider OWW to be the Sex Pistols or the Nick Cave of fresh scents is up for debate - in any case, it is not for everyone!
