The review
On paper, DUA B683 is a strong bet if you want B683 for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is B683's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $60 it costs 80% less than B683.
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
The original opens on saffron, black pepper and nutmeg, turns to violet leaf, amber and labdanum, and settles into Ambroxan, patchouli and sandalwood. That is the brief DUA B683 is working from.
Top
- saffron
- black pepper
- nutmeg
Heart
- violet leaf
- amber
- labdanum
Base
- Ambroxan
- patchouli
- sandalwood
For the one who commands the room in spicy saffron and amber woods, refined, magnetic and unmistakably masculine from first spray to drydown.
