  It’s energetic, fresh, and different. I find it ideal for jobs requiring care, concentration, and mental clarity, such as medicine, design, or architecture. At first, I perceive violet leaves, but then that green moment fades, and the fragrance becomes serene, fully woody-fresh. The amber adds balance and a touch of warmth. It stands out from the crowd. I’d like to have it in my collection; it also makes me want to try more things from Dsquared2.

  I’m going to write an extensive review, but for now, I’ll just say this: 1) I love its scent. 2) I disagree with azuriiita: I don’t think it’s energetic; on the contrary, it soothes, relaxes, and boosts concentration. 3) It smells clean. I’ll repeat it: You must have it!

  It’s been almost 8 hours, and with just one spray on my wrist, it keeps a pleasant skin-scent. The bottle has a sophistication I appreciate: glass embedded in an authentic wooden frame. Yesterday I told azuriiita that this is my idea of a woody fragrance, which should be Encre Noire, but it isn’t. The woody notes are present from start to finish, defying its olfactory pyramid. The violets bring joy to a composition that, on its own with just woods, would become boring. I cite azuriiita because it hit me right on: “Ideal for jobs requiring care, concentration, mental clarity… medicine, design, architecture, or for reading and writing.” As an engineer and technologist, I sometimes require difficult-to-achieve concentration. As with any woody scent, you can’t overuse it; if used well, the results are pleasant, especially in the later hours. Preferably in fresh or moderate environments. The bottle is a beauty, but impractical and uncomfortable for travel. Thanks azuriiita, you hit the mark again.

  More than HE WOOD, it should be HE VIOLET. There’s nothing woody about it; it’s 100% pure violet aroma. It reminds me of those pack-of-4 breath mints. Sillage is low to moderate (leaning low), longevity is over 10 hours, though the last hours are very close to the skin, barely perceptible. The truth is, it’s a copy of CURVE SOUL but lighter. I use it in hot weather; I’ll try it in the cold and maybe get better results, but today in August I just say it’s not much.

  It happens to me just like with user @arp: I don’t smell any wood at all. It’s a super light violet scent. From the start, it sits close to the skin, almost imperceptible, but it has high longevity (more than 7 hours). It doesn’t smell bad or synthetic; on the contrary, it seems well-made, which is usually the case with this brand. Overall, pleasant and versatile, but for me, it’s bland and boring. I got tired of it in a single day. Approved, but barely.

  It smells like wood, but as if the scent of a distant sawmill is drifting by. Violet dominates, with a mentholated touch that gives a winter freshness, like a snow-covered mountain. It’s different, strangely cozy. You might like it or not, but it’s not common. It’s ethereal, shy, interesting, and versatile, though it suits autumn/winter better. Perfectly unisex. The bottle fails: if you use a wooden frame to distinguish it, don’t ruin it with a thin, light plastic cap. The wood is dry, unpleasant to the touch, and the edges make it uncomfortable to hold.

  It’s true that the violet is noticeable, but saying there’s no wood is an exaggeration. I smell it as woody, revitalizing thanks to the flower, very interesting. Price/quality: top, well-presented, scent and longevity: 10/10.
