The review

On paper, Her Intense Play With Dua is a reasonable bet if you want Play for less.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Play's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $33 it costs 49% less than Play.

Evidence7.0

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 grapefruit, bergamot and mandarin orange, turns to amyris, bourbon pepper and coffee, and settles into patchouli, amber and vetiver. That is the brief Her Intense Play With Dua is working from.

Top

  • grapefruit
  • bergamot
  • mandarin orange

Heart

  • amyris
  • bourbon pepper
  • coffee

Base

  • patchouli
  • amber
  • vetiver
Bright grapefruit over amyris and a whisper of coffee; smart, sunny, of its exact moment.
