DSQUARED² Intense He Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Intense He Wood opens with Water Accord, Violet, Violet Leaf, and Incense, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Fir, Musk, and Amber. DSQUARED²'s Intense He Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive woody violet, Intense He Wood is a unique beast. Some find it a beautifully rugged mountain escape, others a clashing, unwearable mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Intense He Wood opens with a distinct, damp forest vibe, where watery notes and a prominent violet leaf create an almost dewy freshness. This quickly deepens into a robust woody heart of cedar and vetiver, giving it an earthy, grounded quality. The drydown settles into a comforting base of fir, amber, and musk, rounding out the initial sharp greenness with a subtle warmth, evoking a walk through a cool, verdant forest after the rain.
