About This Perfume
DSQUARED² Want comes across as Sweet creamy vanilla tea with spicy ginger. It opens with mandarin orange, ginger and pink pepper, moves into damask rose, heliotrope and neroli and settles on Bourbon vanilla, vanilla absolute and violet wood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2015.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and powdery for date nights.
- Sample first if: powdery is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.
Around $35.
