I Am Confusion

I have Game Time from Alexandria Fragrances, Casino Elixir, and Casino Elixir 2.0. Casino Elixir was the first one with this DNA I purchased. Love it! My only gripes are the strong alcohol opening (only lasts a few seconds though) and the atomizer, which sprays a bit wider and mistier than I'd like (also an older bottle so the metallic-colored coating is wearing out). Edit: I think all or most Dua fragrances have that initial alcohol blast.

I bought Game Time as a lover of AF, curious of their take. It's more subdued/subtle...not as sweet and juicy as CE, but it is more refined and overall 'higher quality'. I slightly prefer CE but its more expensive and only sold in 30ml unless you can get a special edition bottle.

CE 2.0 I bought because CE didn't seem to last very long on my skin and it's ranked higher here. Well, I'm here to tell you...it's my least favorite of the three. There's this stank on it I do not care for. Also noticed it in Pour Homme (By Man clone) and Drowning in Zest. I keep hoping it will go away. It isn't as pronounced after 20 minutes or so but still lingers. Its as if CE 2.0 tries to mimic GT but with less oakmoss in the drydown and more black currant (?). Still serviceable but I prefer the other 2 more. Maybe it will get better over time.

Fruchtige Ananas

Als ich den Duft das erste mal gerochen haben, kam mir direkt die stechende, fruchtige Ananas entgegen(im positiven Sinne), sowie die klassische BR Note. Direkt konnte man beide einzelne Kompositionen deutlich herausriechen.

Duft technisch habe ich überhaupt nichts zu bemängeln. Je mehr sich der Duft entwickelt, desto schöner wird er für mich.

Hingegen kann ich den Hype, um die Haltbarkeit nicht nachvollziehen und finde demnach eine 9.x mehr als zu viel. Nach etwas 4-6h nehmen ich am Handgelenk kaum noch etwas von dem Duft war. Wäre diese besser, würde ich den Duft von der Einzigartigkeit aber trotzdem nicht sehr hoch einordnen.

Da der Duft von Preis her nicht gerade günstig ist, würde ich den Duft nur mit Vorsicht empfehlen. Vllt bin ich auch einer der wenigen mit dieser Meinung.

Baccaraventus²

Dua makes dupes. You can twist, soften, and explain it however you want, but the statement isn't too far-fetched. Whether it says "inspired by" or not makes no difference. High-quality, affordable, fabulous, and sometimes even superior to their originals, but still dupes. That's why I was rather skeptical about the brand - but eventually, I wanted to sniff into the phenomenon and ordered, among other things, "Casino Elixir 2.0," which has become almost a legend among "copied perfumes." Because it (or its predecessor) was probably the brutal starting shot that allowed Dua to merge (!) two hit DNAs and become independent enough to be taken seriously, hyped, and bought. Even if one can be critical of this "Plus+Plus=Doppelplus" scheme. A scent like "Casino Elixir 2.0" still has to be put on its feet.

"Casino Elixir 2.0" takes 70% "Aventus" (rather fruity versions) and mixes it with 30% "Baccarat Rouge 540" - and there you have an exalted presence between high-pitched pineapple and mellow saffron, which one could hardly have imagined. The first minutes are a bit intense, almost causing me a migraine if I spray too closely or approach it with the bulb. Additionally, one cannot completely deny a certain synthetic quality; I would rate the much more expensive originals as minimally higher in quality. Or at least they seem a bit milder and better blended, more harmonious. But at this price and with this penetrating beauty, those are just nuances. Dua goes to the limit regarding performance and potency, which can quickly feel like "too much." A creamy "Aventus." A fruity "Baccarat Rouge 540." Father and mother from the olfactory nobility. Call it what you want. A crowd-pleaser full of confidence and sexiness. Overall, "Casino Elixir 2.0" is the most beautiful Frankenstein experiment of all time. Sorry, Elsa Lanchester!

Bottle: handy, labeled, sturdy, pretty is different. But it's more about the content.
Sillage: filled the entire dance school last Friday
Longevity: doesn't stop, even if you have enough - 13 hours

Conclusion: no matter how skeptical you are about Dua, dupes, or the "simple" fusion of two top scents - it's quite likely that "Casino Elixir 2.0" will excite and convince you. Especially if you love the originals and parent scents. A great cost-effective powerhouse of two blockbusters. I do have to deduct a bit in the rating due to the lack of independence. But "laziness" has rarely been a finer treat!

CRINGE-ALERT: Shocked in Love!

Did you know that when you're acutely in love, you tend to oversalt your food?
This happened to me today at lunch, and the forecast for dinner looks rather bleak. I've been happily together with my partner for over 3 years now - still in love, just like on the first day, but my excessive salt consumption had actually decreased quickly back then. So? What's the reason?

The reason could actually be my latest acquisition in my perfume collection: Casino Elixir 2.0 from DUA.

I won't beat around the bush about how I discovered DUA and why I hype this brand so much, but I'll dive right into the fragrance while it's still beautifully fresh on my skin and taking over the entire room.

Casino Elixir 2.0 is clearly relationship material. While many fragrances are only suitable for a (more or less short-term) affair, this one catapulted itself to the top of my favorites list at the very first sniff. And not just for me - no, compliments are constantly pouring in: Despite the mask mandate in enclosed spaces (in Switzerland), I've been approached by the opposite sex a total of 8 times since I became the proud owner of this fragrance (about 4 weeks ago), not to mention the looks.
Especially outside of stores, where fortunately you don't have to wear a mask, I'm constantly being asked about the scent. It reminds me a bit of when One Million first hit the market and I was asked at every corner what fragrance I was wearing. That's happening again now - probably because the DNA of the new Casino Elixir 2.0 is so exceptionally crowd-pleasing.

In the opening, the fruity-smoky pineapple hits you hard. Not a discount store pineapple, but one that's already overripe. Right from the first spray, the sweet-smoky scent fills the entire room. The sillage is out of this world. The smokiness holds back quite a bit at the beginning, as in the first 30 - 60 minutes, you mainly experience the sweet-fruity pineapple. Soon after, the scent of sugary cotton candy joins in. This mélange begins to take over the whole room after just a few moments - attention guaranteed.
Depending on the warmth or cold, the smoky notes then emerge after about 30 to 60 minutes. Never very pronounced and never very dominant: cotton candy and pineapple continue to race for the title of the century. But smoky and woody notes underscore the entire experience, giving the fragrance a strong and masculine vibe.

In the heart note, birch, patchouli, and oakmoss join in, bringing the fruity sweetness of cotton candy and pineapple back down to earth a little, but you still float at least half a meter above everyone else.

There never really comes a base note - even after 24 hours, the sweet cotton candy and intense pineapple are still present along with smoky birch, warming woods, and soothing amber, paired with a bit of patchouli to give the fragrance a certain sovereignty.

DUA has truly created a masterpiece here: combining two powerhouses into a power temple without stepping on any toes - that is true art.
While I originally appreciated DUA for its great dupes, I am now starting to love this brand for its hybrids!

Even though I am definitely not a compliment fisher, who doesn't like to receive a nice compliment about smelling good?
And with Casino Elixir 2.0, that happens constantly... It's mainly women who approach me about this scent, probably because the DNA is just completely new yet somehow familiar. But I've also had a few men ask me about this fragrance - I know of two friends who have since brought this scent into their homes!

The DNA is simply unique, the performance is out of this world: even AFTER showering, you can still smell this fragrance so strongly on your skin that reapplying is actually unnecessary. And on clothing, it survives even the intensive wash cycle at 40 degrees.
When it comes to dosage, caution is truly advised - here, less is actually more!

I know my enthusiasm for this fragrance certainly doesn't suggest that I'm evaluating Casino Elixir 2.0 objectively and ideally. But what I offer you is a subjective, real assessment based solely on my own experience and the number of compliments I've received for this fragrance.
Of course, the primary focus is that you feel comfortable with a fragrance and - above all - that it suits you. This one surely doesn't fit people who don't like to be in the spotlight and are rather shy. No, this fragrance practically screams: Here I am, what’s the cost of the world?

And the answer is: 65 USD + shipping and customs.
And no, you won't get the world for that - but an incredibly delicious scent!

Thank me later.
Cheers.

The Best of Two Worlds

To answer a question upfront: Yes, this fragrance has something to offer, even a whole lot. It grabs the best components from two grand perfumes and plays the common theme to near perfection. You might already guess, dear reader, we are talking about Aventus and Baccarat Rouge.

This creation thus combines the fundamental fruitiness and wonderful pineapple of Aventus and layers it with the airy and seductive sweetness of Baccarat Rouge. The result is a hybrid that can easily be described as more than just successful.

At first, the influences from the house of Creed are clearly dominant. Only subtly in the background of the opening fruit cocktail do we notice something sweet and warming. It’s not quite clear what it is yet, but it is definitely present. Gradually, the sweet elements manage to assert themselves timidly, allowing this composition to gain another dimension. If you know the light, sweet haze of Baccarat Rouge, you will find it here again.

For longevity and projection, I would like to use the term "outstanding." You will be noticed, guaranteed. On my skin, this fragrance lasts easily 10 hours with room for more. On clothing, 2 days is no problem. And yes, even then it still radiates. Compliments guaranteed. It simply works every time.
