The scent of disappointment
To discontinue the entire line of He Wood and such masterpieces as Rocky Mountain and Potion for the sake of this misunderstanding is simply a crime against humanity! And as a fanboy of the brand with 12 years of experience - this is a complete disappointment! Absolutely nothing outstanding! This is simple, boring, spineless, frivolous and feminine, sorry, unisex compote for teenagers, as well as everything that the brothers are doing now.
The fragrance is very fresh and light, and it is not masculine at all (It does not have that masculinity, strength, drive and energy. The fragrance, frankly, is feminine in nature, it is not even unisex! It is youthful, light and carefree, and very simple. No it has complex overflows and interesting nuances.
Closer to the base, it becomes very similar to the female DSQUARED2 Wood, well, just a copy! Even cardamom does not save! Yes, the aroma is quieter and looser, and slightly ginger, as if with an aquatic note (or is it the intrigues of ozone).
The aroma becomes quiet and grassy, ​​the cardamom starts to solo so that it prevents the other components from opening up, it suppresses everything and as a result we get closer to the mono base the aroma of cardamom with sea water. I don’t know where the water is still here ... there is a lot of it, it is salty and fresh.
In the database, he became very soapy and completely tasteless. It sounds on the skin, it is very simple and very cheap. Unfortunately, this was not what I expected ... not at all. Resistance is even less than that of his pair, only 1-2 hours. There is a train, but very weak. Neither ambroxan nor vetiver here at all, no ... I'm sad.
This novelty in the base resembles the perfume of men's shower gels and shaving foam, so there is nothing special and interesting in it in my opinion. And so it all started well ... Alas, I can’t advise you this fragrance, well, absolutely.

Probably Reformulated
I remember buying this fragrance as soon as it was released in 2018. This was such a fresh woody scent that I couldn't compare to anything else. I loved the way it dried down as if it were fresh clothes, and the wood accord radiated elegance. Buying the same thing now brings completely different emotions–disappointment.

It looks like the fragrance was completely reformulated, so there is nothing in common with what it used to be years ago. Now, it is just a scent of alcohol and almost zero character it used to have years ago. I can only sense the 5% of resemblance to the old version of Wood for Him.

Wood is gone!
I was an enthusiastic fan of the DSQ2 Wood line. After my old Wood perfumes are unfortunately no longer produced, I ordered this one blindly and was quite disappointed. The scent smells neither like plywood (He Wood) nor like forest (Rocky Wood) and also not like driftwood (Wet Wood). If you were to ask me what it smells like, my first thought would probably be "like perfume." Very unfortunate.

Wood?
I was looking for a fragrance for spring and once again took the risk of getting advice. After some rather unsuccessful attempts by the saleswoman to convince me (I know why I usually test on my own), she showed me Wood for him. With the words: "It's very special and very woody, you have to like it," she started to spray. My first impression was; citrusy, not bad, but not woody. I thanked the saleswoman and told her that I still had some errands to run and would let the perfume work on me for a while. To keep it short, it just fit! However, I also noticed after about 4 hours that the wood notes were not more pronounced than in many other fragrances without Wood in the name. I would like to mention that my nose detected a certain similarity to Prada Luna Rossa Eau Sport, which I had chosen as my summer scent a few years ago, but this one is a bit warmer and still woodier.

The Lost Wood
The Woods by Dsquared have mostly been strongly focused on woody notes. With Wood for Him, I don't get that impression at all.

It opens cool and fresh, supported by a lot of artificiality. It smells very aldehydic-greasy on my skin, but I also have an association with soap. There’s something soapy lingering around.

I don't notice the spices ginger and cardamom at all; they are already overshadowed by the rather sweet base notes in the heart phase of the fragrance.

In the end, everything comes together into a sweet, artificial, somewhat pleasing mixture without character.

This time Wood is a bit citrus, amber, and really woody. The original He Wood D.N.A. is in with aqueous violet leaves but suitable for fall.

Famous Dsquared signature: violet-woody. Reminds me of He Wood. I like this kind of scent, simple and not overwhelming.

Typical Dsq2 wood DNA with a splash. A divider in the base - against those sensitive to Ambrox and for those who prefer vetiver.

A modern woody floral scent that starts off Mediterranean and then becomes a bit sharper. A unisex fragrance for everyday use. Great for warm days too.

In front of you stands a guy in jeans and an open flannel shirt. He radiates a fresh citrusy, strong woody scent. Simply awesome.

Not a forest, more like a clearing,
on vacation, by the lake, with lots of sunshine...and sunscreen!
...and a bar of soap!
Great!

He Wood-Twin is noticeably fresher and less like sawdust. Pleasant modern woody freshness with lots of lemon and a hint of spice. Enjoyable.
