Kapsule Woody (2008)
by Lagerfeld

Well, perhaps I've unwittingly become an iso-E-super slut, but I have to say that I like KAPSULE WOODY a lot! The plum and the wood mingle together enticingly with the moss (though it does not really seem like oakmoss to me, nor is evernia prunastri listed among the ingredients).

By far my favorite of the KAPSULE trio, WOODY is fully unisex to my nose. I do find this one a bit different from the usual woody colognes out there, primarily because of the plum. Somehow I'm getting a bit of an emergent incense vibe out of the deceptively simple line-up of notes.

Same gorgeous bottle, this time in a tealish blue. Splendid!!!! Even the sleek brushed-aluminum cap feels and looks nice. Love the geometry and aesthetics of the whole presentation. Kudos to Karl & Co. for not neglecting the all-important details all-too-often overlooked.

Less is more the scents plays it's self
well in a sparse three note artistry
the plum brings sensuality the oakmoss and
ceder brings masculinity. a minimalistic
elegance that reflects the new millennium
attitude in fashion and in fragrances.

I was wondering what the bittensweet fruity note was when I sprayed this on. Plum? Interesting. Good woody scent but it ain't no Gucci pour Homme. Still, there's a lot of cedar and mineralic/earthy qualities in it like Terre d'Hermes. Decent longevity. I like it.

Iso E Super and not much else, but I like it.

acetone-plum-cedar. not awful, but not outstanding.

Not enough differentiation between Kapsule Woody and Kapsule Floriental IMO. None of the three are very good.
