DSQUARED² Original Wood is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Daphné Bugey. Original Wood opens with Violet Leaf, Cardamom, and Rainwater, settles into a heart of Cedar, Vetiver, and Fir Resin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. DSQUARED²'s Original Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A fresh, rain-drenched take on wood with distinct violet leaf for aquatic clarity. Many rave about its clean, natural forest vibe, especially as a modern revival of a classic. However, some find it too light on the 'wood' and lean into an overly floral or synthetic territory. Your mileage may vary, but it's a solid, refreshing choice for daily wear.

About

Original Wood captures the essence of a damp forest on a rainy day. It opens with bright, ozonic violet leaf and a hint of spicy cardamom, instantly evoking fresh rainwater. The heart reveals a crisp blend of cedar, fir resin, and vetiver, bringing out the earthy, green facets of the woods. A base of clean musk, warm amber and dark patchouli grounds the composition, adding a touch of sophisticated depth to this aquatic woody scent.
