DSQUARED² Want is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Aurélien Guichard. Want opens with Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Neroli, Rose, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Vanilla. DSQUARED²'s Want carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This vanilla-heavy scent stirs up some serious debate. For some, it's a comforting, sophisticated dream; for others, it's a generic letdown. Expect a strong vanilla presence, but prepare for it to wear differently on everyone.

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.

Its prominent vanilla and powdery notes, often described as sweet and comforting, make it suitable for casual wear and dates. While some find it office-appropriate due to its balance, others report strong sillage that might be too much for formal settings or sports.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Want opens with a playful kick of ginger, mandarin, and pink pepper before softening into a heart of powdery heliotrope and delicate rose. The journey culminates in a rich, warm base dominated by creamy vanilla and soft, sensual woods. It's a sweet, spicy, and elegantly powdery affair.
