Thoughts on CDG Wonderwood?

CDG Wonderwood?

Holy shit lads I finally did it. After a couple months of sampling, I finally found a wood frag that is exactly what I wanted: Wonderwood. I tried:

>Encre Noire (all 3 iterations)
Original is good, but more "forest" than "wood." Sport is too sweet, extreme smells like garbage (not "bad," but like that sweet smell you get from a landfill)

>Lalique Equus
Smells a lot like Encre Noire Sport but less moss and more wood. Still too sweet and too much other shit going on besides wood

>Dsquared Rocky Mountain Wood
Very similar to Equus, disliked it for the same reasons

>Bentley Absolute
Pure fucking cedar. Complete opposite of the last few, no sweetness at all and nothing else besides cedar. Smells terrible up close but from far away it's a dead ringer for cedar lumber. I use it as an air freshener in my pickup truck.

>Creed Royal Oud
Nice cedar. Wasn't what I was looking for in a wood frag but I'm glad someone suggested it a few threads ago because it's nice as hell, bought a bottle.

>Dyptique Tam Dao
Ok now we're talking. Nice combination of woods with a little bit of spice. It's about 80% of what I wanted, there's this one note in there I can't put my finger on but it reminds me of the "manly" note in Man in Black (not the same note, but evokes the same feeling).

>CdG Wonderwood
Bingo. Like Tam Dao without that note that was bothering me. I fucking love it. I have 5ml at the moment and will be purchasing a full bottle.

Thanks to all you fuckers who have been talking wood frags with me over the last few threads, it's been a hell of a journey.

I need a spring/summer alternative to wonderwood

So I don't think I get it.

As a bias I don't like expensive scents that don't last for a while unless I REALLY like the scent. I like rocky mountain wood because it is a cheap wood scent that lasts all day on my skin. At the recommendation of frag I decided to try this. It's a pretty good scent, I like the pepper notes that change in intensity throughout but the longevity isn't great imo. For what it goes for and the hype it receives I suppose I expected it to last. I'm not crazy about the scent but maybe I just need to apply more so I can smell it longer.
