Is this considered a masculine or feminine scent?+−
Swedish Wood is marketed for both men and women. While its spicy and heavy woody base notes of oud and vetiver traditionally skew masculine, the inclusion of Bulgarian rose and apple adds a sweetness and floral elegance that makes it a true unisex option.
How does the longevity compare to other woody fragrances?+−
Many users who find popular woody scents like Oud Wood or Jo Malone's offerings to be too fleeting often migrate to Swedish Wood. Because it is an Extrait, it is known for lasting throughout the day and well into the evening on a single application.
In what season should I wear this?+−
This fragrance is best suited for the cooler months. Its resinous, earthy, and spicy notes perform optimally in the fall and winter, providing a "warm" olfactory feel. It may feel too dense or heavy for high-heat summer days.
Is this appropriate for the office?+−
Due to its strong sillage and potent nature, it is more commonly recommended for evenings, leisure, or nights out. If worn to business meetings, it is best applied sparingly, as the cypriol and clove notes can be quite bold.
