Original Wood
Fragrance notes
Character
Original Wood opens with a burst of watery violet leaf and cardamom so fresh it feels like you’ve just split open a green twig under a cold tap. That aquatic spark is crisp and almost ozonic, but it softens quickly into the heart where silver fir and cedar bring a cool, cathedral-like stillness, grounded by Haitian vetiver’s earthy root. The base of amber, musk, and Indonesian patchouli warms things just enough to keep the composition from becoming aloof—like a forest clearing where the morning rain has soaked the moss, then later dries into a resinous warmth trapped under a log. This is clearly a mainstream woody aquatic, leaning synthetic in its freshness but never cheap, expertly blended by Daphné Bugey. Its weakness is impossible to ignore: sillage barely whispers (2.49 out of 5) and longevity fades after a few hours (3.09), so this is a skin scent for intimate moments, not crowd-crushing statements. That makes it a perfect companion for a mild spring or summer day, especially for office wear or a casual brunch where you want to smell clean and sophisticated without overwhelming anyone. It suits the man who values subtlety over power—someone who prefers to be discovered rather than announced. Skip it if you crave a booming woody beast or a winter-ready bomb; this one evaporates before the snow melts.
