DSQUARED² He Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Daphné Bugey. He Wood opens with Violet and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Cedar and Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Fir Resin. DSQUARED²'s He Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A cult classic gone too soon, He Wood is an ode to the forest, blending earthy wood notes with ethereal violets. Many miss its refined, natural scent, though a few found it too floral or fleeting. Definitely a case of 'love it or sorely miss it'.

When To Wear

Spring Fall
Also Works:

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it excellent for casual wear, office environments, and even light sport given its ozonic facets. It's less suited for formal events due to its understated character, and only moderately good for dates as some find it lacks 'sexiness,' though others did receive compliments.

About

He Wood opens with a fresh, green burst of violet leaf, transitioning into a woody heart of vetiver and cedar that evokes a damp forest floor. The base settles into a soft, musky amber with hints of fir resin, creating a clean, slightly powdery finish. It's a sophisticated woodland stroll, not a lumberjack's yard. The violet note is prominent throughout, giving it a unique floral-woody personality.
