Red Wood

Red Wood by DSQUARED² presents a fresh, fruity olfactory profile dominated by cranberry, lychee, and rose, creating a soft, floral-sweet ambiance reminiscent of high-end shower gels or delicate body creams. The opening features a tart, almost citrusy burst of cranberry and pink pepper, quickly softening into a smooth, slightly musky base of amberwood and cedar. While labeled as woody, the wood notes are faint and secondary, contributing more to texture than substance, giving the impression of a clean, well-groomed aura rather than any robust forest character. The scent is linear and evolves slowly, with minimal depth or development over time. Its most noticeable qualities are its light sillage and fleeting longevity, which can feel inadequate on skin but persists longer on clothing or hair, making it ideal for a reviving morning ritual or a spring-time outing. Many users find its clean, soapy freshness appealing, with some noting it evokes a personal care product experience — a forecast of being freshly washed and entirely refreshed. However, the scent can be divisive: it is perceived by some as overly sweet, synthetic, or like a generic skincare product, with some reporting unpleasant headaches or digestive nausea upon prolonged exposure.
