The review

On paper, Old School Charm is a reasonable bet if you want Maai for less.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Maai'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

The original opens on aldehydes and coriander, turns to tuberose, ylang-ylang and jasmine, and settles into civet, castoreum and oakmoss. That is the brief Old School Charm is working from.

White flowers and fur-coat animalics, smelling like a perfume unearthed from 1935 and still snarling.
