The review
18 Shades of Labdanum scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Labdanum 18.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Labdanum 18's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Le Labo Labdanum 18 is labdanum and orange blossom at first, castoreum and civet at its heart and vanilla, Tonka Bean and musk at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Labdanum and castoreum thickened with vanilla, warm, furry and almost edible.
