The review
Strong contender. That is where Mardi Gras Elixir lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to New Orleans.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is New Orleans's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 it costs 93% less than New Orleans.
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 is chasing: cinnamon, bergamot and orange up top, patchouli, rose and jasmine in the middle, amber, vanilla and musk underneath — the shape of Bond No. 9 New Orleans.
