The review

Worth a try. That is where Smokey Heart Homme Aqua lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Uomo Acqua.

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

At $33 it costs 65% less than Uomo Acqua.
