After several collaborative projects, Comme des Garçons launches a purely Comme des Garçons scent – “A positive overdose of woods, woody notes and synthetic wood constructions (Wood gone mad).” And it has.

Wood, of course, has been part of the Comme des Garçons Parfums DNA from the outset, and here perfumer Antoine Lie has pulled out all the stops: this is all wood, just like it says on the bottle, the notes melding through the common smokiness of incense, guaiac, sandalwood, vetiver and oud with a hint of musty patchouli, dried out by cypress and cedar, wrapped in the powdery, velvety muskiness of Cashmeran.

This sensuous ode to woodiness, translated into an eerie gorgeous visual rhapsody by the Quay Brothers, may just be the most quintessentially CdG fragrance since its first, groundbreaking offering by Mark Buxton in 1994, Comme des Garçons Eau de Parfum. It is wood made liquid and smoke and take our word, like the man “who loved woods more than any words could say” in the video, you'll want to drown in it. Wonder indeed.

Here's what other people are saying about Wonderwood...

Wonderwood is a nice scent but not as interesting as it should be for all these great notes. Also, softer than you'd expect for the ingredients as well. All in all I have several others that are more favored scents of this type. Examples would be Costume National Homme and Gallivant Istanbul.

By Lisa - writer from Chicago on 7/25/2022

I fear people are easily influenced by marketing. To me this is a very mild sweet ceader. Nothing more, nothing less.

By J. - A creative from Nashville on 3/20/2022

Very nice wood smell. Like a cabin in some mossy woods and it's been rather dry but it just started raining and no one's been in the cabin for a while but now you're gonna try to air it out. You sprayed on bug spray before your hike, you can still catch a whiff occasionally. You've stacked the firewood but haven't lit it yet.

By Anonisme - Business from Boston on 11/8/2020

I won't go into detail of fragrance notes, they do that for you. I like this, you can spray a lot on and it's not to overpowering for me it's a good everyday scent. Sometimes I wish it were a little stronger but there are others that do that and sometimes you wish they weren't to much. Get the big bottle you'll blow through it in no time.

Spicy sweetness of coniferous wood blends sleekly with the piquancy of bergamot and pepper. I agree with Matthew from Salt Lake below that it is much more gentle and easygoing than expected, and wonderfully gender neutral. Dry, graceful and lucid, with a certain silvery, transparent quality that is plume-like. I like this, but it is a bit too light and transcendent on my skin and I find myself straining to sniff it and wishing it had more body and spangle.

By Liz - retired from Chapel Hill, NC on 11/18/2018

This was the fragrance that catapulted me into the world of niche fragrances. The scents compiled in this fragrance are what formed the basis for what I judge most fragrances upon. I really like DRY fragrances, I don't like sweet, I don't like gourmand or floral, I like dry, mysterious, dark, and warm fragrances and this is all of that. It really smells like wood, but so many types that it transports you into an old mountain cabin in the woods on a cool autumn evening. The bergamot and vetiver provide crispness, and the woods give a nice richness, combined with the subtle spices this is an excellent fragrance. Could easily be a signature scent.....I can wear this anytime of day as well.

By Todd - Education from Fort Lauderdale on 10/3/2017

After trying 50ish sample from every perfumer imaginable, this is the first bottle I have ever bought. It is obviously a woody scent, slightly medicinal but not intoxicatingly so. It reminds me a fresh wet wood, with that slightly metallic scent that comes when a healthy tree is cut into. But at the same time it is dry and soft. A very sexual scent in my opinion.

By Maximillian - University Student from Washington, DC on 1/18/2017

When first applied, this smelled like turquoise dandruff shampoo and I was really disappointed. After about 20 minutes, the wood showed up for me, but it kept switching back and forth between wood and dandruff shampoo. When it smells like wood it is really lovely, but...

Great scent! Dry, woody fragrance with a sweet twinge after dry down. If you like wood fragrances, get this

By M - from San Francisco on 1/4/2013

I really do love this scent! It's woody with a hint of smooth sweetness that really anyone could wear, man or woman! One of my new faves.

By Anonymous - Student from Chicago on 1/3/2013

Such a clean smell, yet can be so warming. A lot more versatile then I first thought. Wood - Simple idea, great fragrance

By Adam - from Perth on 9/24/2012

This smells like a polished wood cabinet fell on you...and is just as subtle. It's also too sharp and I get a metallic note too. If you want woody, I prefer Diptyque's Tam Dao.

By Chrissychrispants - from Melbourne, Australia on 6/26/2012

I purchased this fragrance in bulk and flooded my neighborhood in it. A couple of people drowned but thanks to me West Hollywood smells exactly like the great redwood forest. Just doing my part to beautify the city of Los Angeles.

By Charles - King of Pop from Los Angeles on 2/2/2012

The first half hour was okay, but then it became very similar to CDG Man 2.

By CT - Sales from Austin on 10/20/2011

Love it! After CdG 2 Man, this is my favorite fragrance. It's wood on steroids! At first, I was worried that I was going to smell like a hamster's cage all day, but WW dries down to a woody, piney, cedary fragrance with, what my nose detects as, floral notes.

By NFB-418 - from The Brew on 9/12/2011

I have been looking for a sandalwood smell that really smells like sandal-WOOD (the mysore kind), because it's a favourite and I feel so at home with that smell. This has a nice touch of pepper and other stuff that just enhances it and makes it unique but on me the sandalwood dominates and that's just what I want. I first tried it on paper and it appeared a bit too masculine, but on my skin it is not masculine at all, it's just mine. Wonderful.

By M.D. - Artist from Sweden on 4/28/2011

Yikes, smells like essential rosewood oil right out of the bottle. Maybe its my male chemistry but this is headache inducing on me.

By Anonymous on 4/23/2011

This smells divine on me. I keep catching scent trails and falling in love all over again. I've smelled a few CdG scents in men's stores and was "meh" on them. I'm starting to see what all the fuss is about with this line, and I'll probably spring for the full bottle.

By Kelly - from Austin on 2/26/2011

Sandal predominates this gentle, wonderful scent. A bit on the plain side, won't knock you socks off, but pleasing and comfortable.

By dpmason - web designer from new haven on 11/9/2010

Surprisingly sweet, though with a nice radiance to it. I just pulled out a carved sandalwood compact a friend brought me from India years ago, and they smell identical to me. With genuine sandalwood hard to come by these days, CdG/Lie may have created an ideal replacement scent.
