verboten: anonymous because none of us want the Dsquared2 twins coming after us. (Just kidding…we switched “hosts” and old posts have purely anonymous commenters…over time names may be returned….)

Thank you so much for this review! I’m pretty new to perfumes and bought a few that I liked at first but grew tired of quickly. He Wood however .. wow .. every time I spray it on I can’t stop smelling myself. I love how it’s pretty subdued, unobtrusive, yet very different (to my nose, at least), remarkable and fresh but with a solid base ..

Why is everyone who posted on this coming up as anonymous?

I smelled he wood. The name is hilarious, though no one else seems to think like I do…and the bottle’s great, but it smells like straight sawdust to me. No violets, no water, just lumber mill. I guess that would fit in with the pacific northwest, but to wear it I’d have to be wearing a red flannel shirt and boots, and be named Bruce. I haven’t smelled she wood yet. Is it like a lumber mill with lots of butterflies caught in the machinery?

Hey, I got a sample of this at Nordstrom today – they were out of Women but I don't really care – I'll try it another time.
I don't like “water” either but I do find it quite OK in this so far – I have not done a liberal spritz yet but I like that it smells like the rainy outdoors without that chokey aquatic weird thing happening.

This is now out in Sydney! The bottle is so stunning and I was looking very much forward to liking the juice, but alas it's not me at all. I get the nose-searing alcohol phase, but after that I just smell lots of fir and minty woods – sort of like Polo Green. So crushed ((

Hey, I tried the Dsquared2 He Wood last week! The company gave us each a 30 ml bottle and I really, really like it. I agree with your description of the woods being a dreamscape. I also tried the She Wood, but sadly, didn't love it as much as the men's.

It's coming to Nordstrom soon… I'll post the date when I look over my paperwork. I think it will do very well.

I really want to try this, but I haven't seen it anywhere here in Australia yet. (

Yeah, I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the “Gorgons” are senior staff or something because, not to be age-ist or anything, the ones that I've always found snippy and overly attitudinal seem to be a bit older than some of the other, nicer ones. Rene in the FM dept, however, would be an exception to that. She's really great if you ever get a chance to go in and talk Malle.

Yeah, that is weird about Sephora… There's a place on Robson called Shifeon that might be a similar type of store (never been to a Sephora…) but their prices aren't very cheap and the SA's, while nice enough I suppose, are a little too attentive. Klingons, rather than Gorgons, you might say…

Robi: thanks for the note. First, several people wrote me (after reading a comment above) to tell me that there is NO Sephora in BC…yet. I was shocked…why in the world isn't there a Sephora up your way?????? ( I know there are stores in Alberta….)

There seemed to be several sweet sales people at the department store but they simply smiled at me and let the Gorgons get on with torturing me. There was one woman in particular with an “up-do” and cool glasses that looked knowingly at me (and pityingly) as I was being “helped.” I certainly didn't mean to imply all staff were mean…I just had NO luck that day!
