✅ Better than the original – it’s spot on scent profile and DNA, better sillage, projection and performance.
✅ Better than the Dior Bois D Argent – the Dior never lasts, but Silver Wood has 99.9% of the DNA without performance issues.
✅ Soft woods – classy musky soft wood, great for layering.
✅ Very well blended – beautiful florals with pronounced iris, leaves a nice scent bubble and lasts fairly long.
✅ Bang for your buck – mainly woody/powdery mix, classy, not old lady, gets compliments.
✅ It’s spot on scent profile and DNA great job, i’m a collector and a perfumer, and trust me if you have this, you don’t need the original.
✅ Yeah, I said it! It's BETTER than the Dior Bois D Argent! I really like the Dior, but it never lasts on my skin. I actually SOLD my bottle because the longevity was terrible. Once I tried the Silver Wood, I was sold.
✅ Bang for your buck!!! It's mainly a woody/powdery mix, though I get a vetiver... Soft woody with powdery vibe in the back end the special myrrh and honey bounce off of each other like they are made for each other.
