The review

On paper, The Live Blues is a reasonable bet if you want Live Jazz for less.

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

At $33 it costs 49% less than Live Jazz.

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 bergamot, mandarin orange and basil, turns to lavender, jasmine and nutmeg, and settles into sandalwood, vetiver and Tonka Bean. That is the brief The Live Blues is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • mandarin orange
  • basil

Heart

  • lavender
  • jasmine
  • nutmeg

Base

  • vetiver
  • Tonka Bean
A brighter, citrus-led sequel to Jazz with the powder swapped for freshness.
