FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Man Card VIP scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Gucci Pour Homme II.

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

At $33 it costs 84% less than Gucci Pour Homme II.

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

Gucci Pour Homme II is bergamot, black tea and cinnamon at first, violet, orange blossom and coriander at its heart and amber, tobacco and cedar at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

  • bergamot
  • black tea
  • cinnamon

Heart

  • violet
  • orange blossom
  • coriander

Base

  • amber
  • tobacco
  • cedar
Smoky black tea and cinnamon over tobacco and amber; a worthy sequel to a legend, also gone.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 3 twins of Gucci Pour Homme II we can price, Man Card VIP is number 3 on price per 100ml.
