i'm very picky with Woody and this one passed the test. had my partner smell both side by side and they couldn't tell which was which. knocked one star off only because of longevity, otherwise perfect.
- Deborah HenleyVerified buyer
wore it for a week straight, here's my honest take after 10+ wears. soft sillage that just lingers on your own skin, perfect for close settings. i like it, but i don't love it — 3 stars.
