DSQUARED² Wood for Him is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018. Wood for Him opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Cardamom, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Vetiver, and Ambroxan. DSQUARED²'s Wood for Him carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this ain't about deep woods. It's a fresh, clean, and quite divisive citrus-violet bomb that some find fantastic value and others dismiss as generic soap. If you want a Prada Luna Rossa-esque vibe with a magnetic cap, give it a sniff.

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.

About

Opens with a potent, zesty burst of lemon, mandarin, and bergamot, immediately establishing its fresh, clean character. This bright citrus quickly blends with a prominent, almost metallic violet leaf, underscored by a fresh-spicy kick of ginger and cardamom. The dry-down settles into a soft, airy blend of vetiver, subtle woody notes, and the modern hum of ambroxan, creating a consistently fresh and slightly soapy finish.
