DSQUARED² She Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Daphné Bugey. She Wood opens with Lemon, Neroli, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Musk, Violet, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. DSQUARED²'s She Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This much-missed classic is a gentle, woody violet that sparks debate. Some crave its unique, forest-like freshness, while others find it too powdery, too floral, or just not 'woody' enough. Either way, it's a nostalgic whisper for many.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

She Wood opens with a light, fresh burst of lemon and neroli, quickly softened by a delicate, powdery violet and jasmine heart. As it settles, a clean, gentle woodiness emerges from cedar and vetiver, underpinned by a subtle musk and a hint of warm amber, evoking a tranquil, early morning woodland.
