Not fresh, not wild, only extremely boring
Is that consumer deception already? Nothing of the scents is recognizable and the name suggests energy and something extraordinary. Instead a synthetic sweet-fruity mix comes along, which cannot be surpassed in arbitrariness.

The fragrance is not bad per se, but the best thing about it is the bottle - and we all know how much this contributes to the fragrance. I do not understand the decision makers behind this publication. But I strongly doubt their professionalism. To expect that an absolutely boring synthetic smell arrives, with which the buyer smells a few hours after a completely 0815 shower gel, is not comprehensible for me

When I meet someone with this scent, I just think they don't know anything about perfume. I'll be the one running away from Run Wild then

I then took the trouble to mix in the three fragrances. Of course I don't know the undeclared notes and the mixing ratio. But I wanted to know in which direction the scent would go, if the empathy really lies on the indicated scents.

And what a "surprise", it came out so completely different fragrance, without any coincidence. Nothing of the cinnamon can be felt in the original. The freshness of lavender is also not present, the light soapiness of Run Wild appears after a while, but is unlikely to come from lavender, because this occurs a little later and relatively weakly in lavender.

I search in vain for the fir balm in Run Wild, because the fragrance drifts from Ambroxan / Benzyl Mix to Calone in the heart phase and the fir balm, if at all in the fragrance, is completely overdriven. The sweetness in the fragrance comes from something else, no idea of what.

Funnily enough, Run Wild turns into a musty-sweet weakling, despite all the chemistry.
Tastes are different, so Run Wild is sure to find a few buyers. However, I would strongly recommend them not to buy the fragrance at the release price, but to wait a few months until it is offered at a discount price.

Interesting lemon cake with a stale aftertaste
I already own "At the barber's" from this house and like fresh scents, so I had to try the lemon tree right away.

The opening smells strongly of a lemon lemon, sweet and juicy like a fresh lemon cake. Immediately after a few seconds an acidic, fresh mixture spreads out, which reminds me of the bitter, acidic taste of dandelion juice. Such a strange sweet and sour mixture I have never found before, only because of this experience I recommend to test the scent.

After the first few minutes, the overall impression becomes rounder again. The lemon disappears and something spicy emerges, perhaps with a hint of wood. The sweetness is still there, but not as prominent as at the beginning. The spiciness is difficult to determine, nutmeg or caraway I mean to smell, cardamom as listed in the notes, I do not smell so. It can also be the cistus, which is also quite spicy.

The base is rather weak and I smell some Calone out what I don't like at all. Probably this is how they try to stretch the freshness, because the scent flattens out quickly.

CONCLUSION
The scent is interesting and despite the lemon not necessarily a summer scent. Unfortunately it flattens quickly on my skin and leaves no clear impression, but tries with some artificiality to set the missing accents.

Lost the wood
The Woods of Dsquared were mostly strongly focused on the woody notes. With Wood for Him I don't have this impression at all.

He opens cool and fresh, supported with a lot of artificiality. Smells strongly aldehydic-fatty on my skin, but I also have an association with soap. Something soapy's still buzzing around.

I don't notice anything of the spices ginger and cardamom, is superimposed by the rather sweet base notes already in the heart phase of the fragrance.

At the end everything comes together to a sweet, artificial, halfway pleasing mixture without any character.

Bois de Verhunzu?
My anticipation regarding the name of the fragrance was destroyed with full force within seconds after I got the first whiff in my nose.
I don't know if there really is a scent of natural origin in the bottle, it smells artificially through and through. And the so-called yuzu tree wood smells exactly like the synthetic yuzu fragrance oil, which I own myself.

No wonder, I think, since the price of natural Yuzu oil is quite high. And I haven't found any yuzu tree oil yet. But the name of a perfume is also a promise to the consumer. Is this what Lagerfeld promises, what the name stands for?

While I was surprised rather positively by Bois de Vetiver, for me Bois de Yuzu is a complete Rhine Falls.

I like Yuzu a lot, but I'll have to wait for another scent. Never mind, I'll mix it up myself.
