The review
Garden of Thorns scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Cactus Garden.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cactus Garden's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
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
Louis Vuitton Cactus Garden is lemongrass and Calabrian Bergamot at first, mate at its heart and musk at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- lemongrass
- Calabrian Bergamot
Heart
- mate
Base
- musk
Lemongrass and mate over dry bergamot, bitter-green and sun-baked, succulents behind glass.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
