Woodsy woods

Woody. This is probably what you'd expect to smell from a fragrance named Kapsule Woody. Sure, there's woodsiness galore, but it's a little more than just a forest.

On my skin Kapsule Woody is quite masculine, but I don't mind. The woods in this fragrance are quite earthy and rich, however occasionally I sense a delightful tobacco and plummy goodness that is quite resinous and delicious.

Perhaps some will be confused by my description, but Kapsule Woody smells like something from a by-gone era, medieval perhaps. There's something very soothing and sensual about it too, which encourages me to keep inhaling this glorious scent.

I swear I can smell tobacco and ivy in this fragrance, particularly towards the heart. It's kind of sweet in its representation, but not in a sickening way. I love oriental woody scents, so Kapsule Woody is right up my alley. The sillage is to die for as well, being quite trajectory and concentrated. That's not to mention the longevity, which is amazing as well.

One review likened this fragrance to Burberry London for Men which I'll have to agree with. They both share interesting similarities. Kapsule Woody is a wonderful fragrance that I can't help but admire.

Simplistic sandalwood

The great German eccentric Karl believes in fragrance combining, therefore the three "Capsule scents" can be used together or on their own, but I think "WOODY" is the best of the trio. Lagerfeld himself said that he never sprays perfume on his skin, but loves to layer it on fabric. He does not believe in gender barriers when it comes to perfumes and happily announced that he is a heavy user of Shalimar...- his new collection is a UNISEX fragrance programme.
Woody is a very simple scent, a clearly structured, uncomplicated sandalwood-fougere-affaire, great on both sexes.

Chemical Velvet

Karl Lagerfeld, a big name in clothing industry. Unfortunately has inadequate treatment in fragrance, although this fragrance is very interesting.
Kapsule Woody is a terrific synthetic contemporary scent, little bit more leaning towards masculine. It's almost linear and has dominant Iso E Super, shadowy woody note. Beside cedar also is prominent some plumy fruit note. I can detect some cinnamon and breezy artificial white flowers as well.
Beautiful smell of chemical wood with blue trees, yellow grass and purple haze on the move. Chemical velvet that surrounds my skin, a liquid olfactive LSD inside of blue bottle. Organic chemistry at its finest.

Kapsule Woody

Less is more the scents plays it's self
well in a sparse three note artistry
the plum brings sensuality the oakmoss and
ceder brings masculinity. a minimalistic
elegance that reflects the new millennium
attitude in fashion and in fragrances.

Aachener Pflümli

Woody belongs to a category of scents that I absolutely do not like. Such fragrances are warm, immediately embrace the skin, and bring at least 36.5 C with them.
Moreover, while this is supposed to be a woody scent by name, a warm, heated plum clearly dominates here. There are many plum fragrances, but they differ greatly, depending on whether they smell like freshly picked plums (which I like) or processed ones like plum jam, plum cake, compote, etc. (which I do not like at all).
Before I knew that plum was included here, I perceived the scent as a woody gourmand. Its unisex character is borderline, as it is rather warm and sweet, making it more suitable for women. Over time, the cedarwood might assert itself, and then it could potentially be worn by a younger man, but the warmth of the plum never completely disappears.

Edit: I recall that people who might like Black Orchid by Tom Ford might also find something to enjoy here...maybe...:-)
