Version Wood

Version Wood by the French brand Ulric de Varens, released in 2017, is a fresh woody citrus for men. Everyone who describes it calls it woody and citrusy; about two thirds also find it aromatic, and a minority mention musky, fresh and amber shades.

Lemon, lime and bergamot open it with sharp, clean zest, and mint with ozonic notes adds a cool, airy freshness. The heart is herbal and forest-like: sage for a dry, aromatic green and fir for a resinous, pine-needle crispness. The base is warmer than the start: cedar and sandalwood for smooth wood, tonka bean for a soft almond sweetness, and amber with musk for a gentle glow that lingers.

It wears as an easy, outdoorsy daytime scent that suits spring and summer, work and weekends alike. It suits someone who wants a clean woody fragrance with a citrus kick and a little warmth at the end rather than a sweet or heavy profile.
