The Quiet Man
From the time Pure Wood was released, I wasn't too excited to go with the hyped train on either a bottle or decant due to neutral and not too highly regard feedback by perfume reviewers and aficionados. I was wrong.
Last month, I was offered by the SA a tester bottle of Pure Wood (80ml) left, should I buy a bnib Mugler Ultra Zest. Who wouldn't bite this offer right? I was also flooded with 40+ assorted carded samples.
TM's Pure Wood to my skin is a well balanced of notes with a moderate emphasis on oak and other woody notes. Since I am a coffee lover and has a fond for patchouli, both notes here aren't so pronounced but one would know that Pure Wood possess a gourmand essence in an almost perfect sweetness and spice. The aromatic character is only a coating upon application for it melted away some few minutes later. But a very refined yet gentle, suave, smooth essence came after. Such a smell that neither boast nor brag it's presence but one can attest that the quality and rich blend was there. Bold yet tamed. Pure Wood is a fragrance for self pleasure, for comfort and not for self seeking praises/compliments. This is a perfume that quietly captivates. Merely 2 to 3 hours (on my skin)but mind you, it is a very good close quarter smell with it's pure woody magical aroma, manly contained sexiness and unique scent dry down. Actually, Pure Wood's character reminded me of one classic Calvin Klein (both of them have very different smell) which radiated wonder, sensuality and spellbinding over dry down/close quarters: CK Be (black bottle). Pure Wood may be different from Thierry Mugler for Men fragrance dna, but it is a distinct composition that deserve an applause and respect. I would have rated it higher if projection and longevity would be beast mode. Maybe a Pure Wood Extreme or Intense might pop up soon. For now, my rate on Pure Wood: 8/10
