Red Wood

by Olivier Cresp

DSQUARED² Red Wood is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019, created by Olivier Cresp. Red Wood opens with Cranberry and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Magnolia, and Litchi, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Amberwood. DSQUARED²'s Red Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive bit of kit. Some swear by its fizzy, fruity shampoo vibe for a fresh pick-me-up, whilst others reckon it's a synthetic, headache-inducing mess. You'll either love it or hate it, mate.

Its fresh, clean, and fruity profile makes it a cracking choice for casual wear and daytime dates. While some find its performance strong, many describe it as an EDT with moderate longevity, making it less ideal for formal settings where a more commanding presence is often preferred, but still acceptable for the office if applied sparingly.

About

Red Wood kicks off with a tart, sparkling cranberries and a cheeky dash of pink pepper, giving it a proper 'fizzy drink' feel. Then, a juicy litchi and soft rose and magnolia waft in, sweetening things up before settling into a clean, musky base with a hint of cedar. Expect a fresh, fruity, almost shampoo-like dry down.
