About
She Wood Velvet Forest Wood by DSQUARED² is a fragrance for women. She Wood Velvet Forest Wood was launched in 2009. She Wood Velvet Forest Wood was created by Daphné Bugey and Alberto Morillas. The fragrance features Violet Leaf, Green Notes, Pine, Virginia Cedar, Vetiver, Floral Notes, Galbanum, Musk, Patchouli and Amber. The house of Dsquared2 has presented three fragrances so far; their first perfume He Wood from 2007 and its version for women She Wood in 2008. The third fragrance that celebrates and connects wood, fashion and creations of Dsquared is He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood, which has been released recently, inspired by Canadian mountains and dedicated to nature fans. This fragrance belongs to the Dsquared Nature Always Wins collection, which is now joined by a new edition for women, She Wood Velvet Forest Wood. The name suggests dynamics of perfume composition. The fragrance is as mystical and playful as a forest fairy, leaving an impression of a true adventure in the nature surrounded with Canadian mountain peaks.Dean and Dan Caten dedicate this fragrance to a woman living and breathing in rhythm of nature. Building this composition was based on choosing notes which would leave a natural, smooth and mystical trail on the skin. The scent of green forest and flowers develops playfully and harmonically on three levels. The fragrance is constructed as green-floral-woody and includes aromas of violet leaf and musk, which are in charge of femininity; warmth and mysteriousness are accentuated by galbanum, relaxing and fresh notes are introduced by pine needles and green leaves, while a base hides ambergris, vetiver and patchouli. Dsquared2 She Wood Velvet Forest Wood is available as an EDT, in a flacon with the same form as its antecedent, decorated with wood. Its outer carton is coloured in beige, with copper-pink name of the brand and perfume, in tune with stopper of the new flacon.
