Should you’re a fashionista, you’re more than likely accustomed to WEWOREWHAT, the style weblog and model created by Danielle Bernstein. Early final 12 months, I used to be launched to her first perfume, WEWOREWHAT 001 Eau de Parfum ($79), and let me simply say that it’s totally different than anything on my vainness. It’s additionally good for the winter season. Right here’s my trustworthy assessment.

Bernstein says the woody-gourmand perfume was impressed by the luxuries of New York Metropolis—she wished one thing “acquainted but thrilling,” and it positively is. It’s very androgynous, it’s worn so properly by each a assured lady (or man), and it’s long-lasting. “Scent has been an enormous a part of my life,” says Bernstein. “I by no means wore only a single fragrance and all the time combined at the least two when preparing. 001 is so genuine to my persona…it’s barely unisex however extraordinarily horny and daring.”

Created by one of the crucial in-demand perfumers within the business, Jerome Epinette, the scent’s prime notes embrace creamy sandalwood, candy fig and cardamom; the center contains coconut water, patchouli and musk; and the bottom notes are heat cedarwood and amber. The nice and cozy woodiness actually lingers all through the day—it’s not a type of scents that disappears in a pair hours—and I get compliments each time I put on it. Be aware: Although the fig provides a contact of sweetness, if you’re on the lookout for a candy scent, this isn’t the one. Nonetheless, I’ve tried layering it with vanilla scents and it really works properly.
