The Scoop
Extra Woods captures the citrus-forward opening and balanced floral heart of Bvlgari Man quite effectively, with the bergamot and peach accords translating well. However, the base diverges noticeably—the clone leans heavier on woody and musky elements rather than replicating the soft powdery vanilla complexity of the original, making it feel slightly more linear and less refined.
Key Differences
The clone's base is noticeably woodier and less powdery than the original, resulting in a more straightforward scent profile with shorter longevity. The middle notes alignment is strong, but the signature powdery-vanilla drydown of Bvlgari Man is diminished in this interpretation.

Bvlgari Bvlgari Man Wood Essence 26
What wearers say
“Probably the only Bvlgari Wood Essence clone in the market.It reenacts most of the Wood Essence: Woody, sweet, warm, and tropical plants/fruits.I don't find the original Wood Essence to be worth the price of $200, so this will satisfy as my dupe.Also, Wood Neroli is way worse than Wood Essence!”
“Yes it smells just like Bvlgari wood essence, exquisite and manly fragrance, think about LOTR elves, Rivendell, this smells like them, im pretty sure. But the performance is very poor, within 1 to 3 hours the smell dissapears and starts sitting just like 1 inch from the skin, so i do prefer Bvlgari Wood essence because of this. Even spraying like 10 times all over my upper body, its not that powerful... If you have the money get wood essence... If you just wanna try the scent, this is like 99% close to the OG. Hope they redo the formula in the future, because the smell is SO GOOD!”
