The review

On paper, Soul Smoke is a reasonable bet if you want Paris for less.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Paris'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 violet, bergamot and geranium, turns to rose, violet and iris, and settles into sandalwood, musk and amber. That is the brief Soul Smoke is working from.

Enormous violet-dusted rose, romantic and unashamedly maximal.
