Is Want by Dsquared² suitable for the office or more for evening wear?+−
While it has the sweetness typically associated with evening scents, the community finds it highly versatile. It is frequently worn for daily tasks and business settings because the ginger and wood notes keep the vanilla professional and polished rather than overly provocative.
How prominent is the ginger note in this fragrance?+−
The ginger is quite noticeable in the opening. It provides a sharp, spicy contrast to the vanilla, which helps distinguish Want from standard sweet floral perfumes and gives it a more energetic, modern start.
Does the powdery accord make it smell vintage or "old-fashioned"?+−
No, the powderiness comes from heliotrope and vanilla rather than a classic iris or heavy musk. It feels more like a soft, creamy haze or a luxury cosmetic powder rather than a vintage "barbershop" or "grandmother" style scent.
Which seasons are best for wearing this fragrance?+−
It is most effective in cooler weather. The bourbon vanilla and woody base provide a "cozy" feeling that is ideal for fall and winter, though it is light enough to transition into the cooler days of spring.
