Is this already consumer deception? There is nothing recognizable from the scent notes, and the name suggests energy and something extraordinary. Instead, a synthetically sweet-fruity mix comes along that is unbeatable in its ordinariness.

The scent is not inherently bad, but the best part about it is the bottle - and we all know how much that contributes to the fragrance. I do not understand the decision-makers behind this release. I strongly doubt their professionalism. To expect that an absolutely boring synthetic scent will be well-received, where buyers smell like a completely generic shower gel a few hours later, is incomprehensible to me.

When I encounter someone wearing this scent, I only think that the person knows nothing about perfume. I am the one who "runs wild" away from it.

I then took the effort to recreate the three listed scent notes. Of course, I do not know the undeclared notes and the mixing ratio. But I wanted to see which direction the scent would take if the empathy really lies with the listed scent notes.

And what a "surprise," a completely different scent emerged, with no resemblance whatsoever. There is no trace of cinnamon in the original. The freshness of lavender is also absent; the slight soapiness appears in Run Wild after a while, but it is unlikely to come from the lavender, as this occurs later and relatively weakly with lavender.

I also search in vain for the fir balsam in Run Wild, as the scent drifts from the Ambroxan / Benzyl mix to Calone in the heart phase, and any fir balsam, if it is even in the scent, is completely overpowered. The sweetness in the scent comes from something else; I have no idea what.

Strangely enough, Run Wild develops into a musty-sweet weakling, despite all the chemistry.
Tastes differ, so Run Wild will surely find a few buyers. However, I would sincerely recommend to them not to buy the scent at the release price, but to wait a few months until it is offered at a discount price.

I already own "At the barber's" from this house and I enjoy fresh scents, so I had to try the lemon tree right away.

The opening smells strongly of candied lemon, sweet and juicy like a fresh lemon cake. Just after a few seconds, a sour, fresh blend spreads out, reminding me of the bitter, sour taste of dandelion juice. I've never encountered such a peculiar sweet-sour mixture before, and just for this experience, I recommend testing the fragrance.

After the first few minutes, a rounder overall impression sets in. The lemon fades away and something spicy comes forward, perhaps with a hint of wood. The sweetness is still clearly present, but not as prominent as at the beginning. The spiciness is hard to determine; I think I smell nutmeg or caraway, but I don't pick out cardamom as listed in the notes. It could also be the rock rose, which is quite spicy as well.

The base is rather weak, and I detect a bit of Calone, which I do not like at all. This is probably an attempt to stretch the freshness, as the scent quickly flattens out.

CONCLUSION
The fragrance is interesting and, despite the lemon, not necessarily a summer scent. Unfortunately, it quickly fades on my skin and leaves no clear impression, instead trying to make up for missing accents with a bit of artificiality.

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.

My anticipation regarding the name of the fragrance was shattered within seconds with full force after I caught the first whiff.
I don't know if a fragrance note is really present in the bottle from a natural source; it smells artificial through and through. And the so-called Yuzubaumholz smells exactly like the synthetic Yuzu fragrance oil that I own myself.

No wonder, I think, since the price of natural Yuzu oil is quite high. And I haven't discovered Yuzubaumöl anywhere so far. The name of a perfume is also a promise to the consumer. Is this what Lagerfeld promises, what the name stands for?

While I was rather positively surprised by Bois de Vetiver, Bois de Yuzu is a complete flop for me.

I really like Yuzu, but I guess I will have to wait for another fragrance. That's fine, then I'll just mix something up myself.

Isn't it beautiful, this transparent light blue - indeed Indigo - colored bottle with the bow on it? The chic bottle immediately caught my attention, and the color suggests a certain cool freshness, so I tried the scent right away.

Scent
The opening is fresh, citrusy, and aquatic. I particularly notice a strong note of sour cucumber. Similar to D&G Light Blue, the summery mix of cucumber, lemon, and mint unfortunately turns sour on my skin.

A strong aldehydic synthetic note accompanies the opening into the heart phase of the fragrance. The freshness of the scent is held on the skin with a greasy layer. I imagine cleaning the greasy kitchen hood with a citrus cleaner.

The mint occasionally comes through and emphasizes the freshness of the scent. I don't really perceive the indicated rosemary in the fragrance notes, but there is subtly a slightly aromatic floral note that could come from the rosemary.

The weak base is unremarkable and cannot sustain the scent for more than 4 hours.

Conclusion
Indigo is for me a fresh summer scent with a lot of synthetic elements and still poor longevity. Only the mint appealed to me a bit. The rest was unfortunately very unremarkable. If you already own a summery aquatic fragrance, there isn't much new offered here. But there's nothing wrong with trying a sample.
