The review
On paper, Parisian Aura is a strong bet if you want Gris Charnel for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gris Charnel's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $60 it costs 79% less than Gris Charnel.
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 black tea, fig and cardamom, turns to iris, and settles into Tonka Bean, sandalwood and vetiver. That is the brief Parisian Aura is working from.
Top
- black tea
- fig
- cardamom
Heart
- iris
Base
- Tonka Bean
- sandalwood
- vetiver
For the one who lingers over spiced black tea and fig, an elegant, creamy woody-powdery scent balancing cardamom, iris and soft sandalwood.
