2 Wood

2 Wood by DSQUARED² presents a clean, aromatic woody scent with a vibrant citrus opening of lemon and pink pepper, balancing fresh and dry elements. It evokes memories of classic wood-centric fragrances like He Wood and Encre Noire, particularly in its velvety vetiver and cedar base, though it leans more toward a smooth, herbal, and slightly soapy profile. The scent unfolds gently on skin—initially bright with citrus and dry wood, then settles into an airy, musky-woody drydown with amber undertones. It feels unisex in character, suitable for cooler days, and has a quiet, approachable presence that works in office environments. Despite its appealing character, longevity is a persistent issue: most users report it fades rapidly, lasting only moderate to short durations (around 2–4 hours), with a sillage that is often moderate to intimate. Some find it performs well on fabric or for brief wear, yet reapplication is frequently necessary. The fragrance often appears most potent in the first few minutes, with notes of citrus and vetiver fading quickly. The composition signals a minimalist refinement—effortless and safe in a modern esthetic. It's not a standout but can be a thoughtful alternative for those drawn to woody freshness without the intensity of more powerful lineages.
