I tried it and the opening is good with aquatic violets (reminds me of Narciso Rodriguez for Him), but then it gets too woody for my taste, leaning heavily into patchouli, amber, and musk. If this is a relaunch of the Hi Wood from 2007, the original was better because it truly conveyed that mountain and pure nature vibe, which the Original Wood doesn’t do. I admit I don’t get along with Dsquared2 perfumes; they seem very simple and easy in a market where everything resembles everything else, though those who love heavy woody scents will adore it.
Ansite
It smells like a fresh, pleasant forest, just like the previous one from the same house, without feeling reformulated. What stands out most is the combo of violets, wet earth, and woods. It’s different and I like it. They say it resembles Dior’s Fahrenheit and it might be, but I also notice a similarity in the dry down with Bravo Monsieur by El Ganso, though it’s not exact.
Siperono
It smells extremely similar to Burberry Touch, which is much cheaper and lasts just as long. Both share that very marked fresh aquatic violet vibe. The Original Wood feels higher quality, versatile, clean, and has acceptable longevity, although the price is way too high for what it offers.

I own the 2007 ‘He Wood’ by Dsquared2, and compared to this, it’s almost identical; maybe this new one is a bit rougher. Does anyone know if they discontinued the 2007 version?
