Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood is a unique woody-floral that sparks intense love-it-or-hate-it reactions. It promises a walk in an atmospheric forest, delivering on that natural vibe for many, though some find it lacks depth or, controversially, smells of baby wipes.
This Comme des Garçons collaboration is a divisive beast: some hail it as a cheap niche gem, a love-letter to violet and woods. Others find it a confused, synthetic mess. It's a proper either-you-get-it-or-you-don't situation.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and clean, natural woody-floral profile make it highly suitable for casual and office wear. While pleasant for dates, it might lack the 'wow' factor for very formal events. The outdoor, fresh aspect also makes it a good fit for sport or being outdoors.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate longevity and sillage mean it can work for casual or date settings without being overpowering. The unique, somewhat 'challenging' opening and woody, earthy drydown make it less suited for formal or office environments, where a more universally appealing scent is often preferred.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Powdery, Violet Floral accords and Violet, Pepper notes
