DSQUARED² Wood is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018. Wood opens with Mandarin, Magnolia, Lily of the Valley, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Cedar, and Ambroxan. DSQUARED²'s Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper debate-starter: is it a 'generic shampoo' scent, or a 'boosted Bombshell'? Either way, it's a mass-appealing fruity-floral that doesn't quite live up to its woody namesake, but it's a solid, clean everyday go-to for those who don't mind a bit of a clean, youthful vibe.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and fruity profile makes it highly suitable for casual and everyday wear, including the office, without being overpowering. Its lighter nature means it's less suited for formal events or intimate dates where a more sophisticated profile might be preferred.

About

It opens with a bright burst of mandarin and juicy raspberry, softened by the delicate freshness of lily of the valley and magnolia. This fruity-floral heart then blossoms into the velvety richness of osmanthus and jasmine. The dry down is a clean, understated blend of subtle woody notes, particularly cedar, with a touch of modern ambroxan, though the promised 'wood' is often overshadowed by the vivid fruit and flowers.
