A long shot
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Crush In Rio scores 4.2 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Carioca Crush.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Carioca Crush's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 it costs 13% less than Carioca Crush.
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
Sol de Janeiro Carioca Crush is pear and litchi at first, pink violet and praline at its heart and musk and white cedar extract at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- pear
- litchi
Heart
- pink violet
- praline
Base
- musk
- white cedar extract
Crisp pear and lychee dusted with violet praline; light, flirtatious and city-bright.
