FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Ultimate Rendezvous scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing L'Homme Ultime.

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

At $33 it costs 71% less than L'Homme Ultime.

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 Ultime is bergamot, grapefruit and cinnamon at first, sage, nutmeg and violet leaf at its heart and Tonka Bean, cedar and amberwood at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
