He Wood Ocean Wet Wood. Dsquared2

Perfumer: Daphne Bugey and Alberto Morillas.
Countains transparent marine accord, ambergris, artemisia, violet leaves, violet blossom, vetiver, cedar, patchouli, tonka bean and musk.


Same bottle as its older brother but this time is much lighter and the juice inside it's light blue.

Now this new perfume puzzles me.
It's a strange yet beautiful mixture of violet, vetiver and powdery yet airy accords.
It could be easily branded as "Air" (from Kenzo) if this perfume wouldn't exist.

"Wet Wood" is rather minimal: you will detect the airy freshness from the original old brother without the wet aquatic accord. Instead, you'll get here a rare yet uplifting dimension of freshness, nearly industrial, ozonic, pure and being honest, asepthic, just like a quiet walk through the sea side with no sound and no smell, neither flower blossoms scent in the air nor seaweed; just a fresh wind stroking your face with a litte trail of ocean breeze made for a computer.

You get the violet leaf and the violet blossom depurated to the maximum tending to become as a slightly turquoise talc powder-like scent with a light touch of salty vetiver and splashes of patchouli and musk in the drydown.

The result is rather fascinating. There's freshness surrounded of a salty vetiver-like-talc powder.
Weird right?
It is indeed, but worth sample it, just to enjoy the olfative experience.
On the other hand, it is a very timid perfume with an lower average long lasting and neutral sillage.

If you are looking for an excellent aquatic, for the same price, I would rather buy "Kenzo pour Homme" or "Bvlgary Aqva" both masterpieces with a much better projection and pressence.
Oh, well. What can I do?. I always feel weak regarding classics.
