FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Worth a try. That is where Impulse lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Opium Pour Homme.

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

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

What it is chasing: star anise, pepper and bay leaf up top, cinnamon, cedar and galanga in the middle, vanilla, Tonka Bean and patchouli underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Opium Pour Homme.

Top

  • star anise
  • pepper
  • bay leaf

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • cedar
  • galanga

Base

  • vanilla
  • Tonka Bean
  • patchouli
Star anise and cinnamon melting into vanilla amber, cosy and slightly hypnotic.
