FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Rendezvous scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing L'Homme.

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

Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme is ginger, bergamot and lemon at first, violet leaf, basil and white pepper at its heart and cedar, vetiver and Tonka Bean at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

  • ginger
  • bergamot

  • violet leaf
  • basil
  • white pepper

Base

  • cedar
  • vetiver
  • Tonka Bean
Peppery ginger and violet leaf over cedar, tidy and reliably likeable.
