He Wood does not attempt to create “real” woodland scents in a bottle — there’s no damp moss or raw wood accords, no powerful “green” or “dirt” notes. He Wood’s woodland is dreamlike, impressionistic — all aromas are pale, blurred, and watery. He Wood, no matter its name, is not about pungent wood — the fir accord and cedar wood are barely noticeable on my skin. He Wood provides a new take on “wood” — its smooth, bleached woods float on sweet, cool, lightly flower-scented water.

He Wood does not provide moments of shock or awe; its notes blend together seamlessly. He Wood has excellent lasting power and is great for days when you want to smell good but don’t want others to notice the fragrance you are wearing (unless they get really close); it can easily be worn by women.
