Out of frustration, I bought a real "cheap scent"....
..... where to begin?
Best to start with why I bought the fragrance.
Recently, since I had run out of it for a while, I purchased my beloved "Polo Green" by Mr. Lauren again after decades. Just under 70 euros. That's a lot of money for me, at least.
I immediately unboxed it and sprayed it on. Yes, the scent was there---- BUT something was missing...
Later, I also noticed the poor longevity - and that the whole performance was gone.
Instead of joy, strong frustration built up!
I can only agree with the review of Polo Green by "Peking2021" in everything.
The scent is gone, meaning, probably badly reformulated and anything but the great "stinker" that I lovingly refer to these scents, which had been a loyal companion for decades.
Especially the good longevity is completely gone for me. Hardly more than 2 hours of scent pleasure!
And that for the high purchase price?
No, not anymore with me. That was my last original Polo Green for the high purchase price!!!
So what to do?
I searched for scent twins. Just no expensive fragrance if it turns out to be a flop.
That's how I came across Dorall. Until then, I hadn't tried any fragrances from this Belgium-based company.
At this point, I want to mention that there are several dupes of Polo Green from this company.
Dorall Classic Green EdT 100ml
Dorall Mustang EdT 100ml
Then from India, a rather "outrageous" copy - also regarding the box design
Classic Collection Mustang Green pour Homme EDT 100ml
I also found a Dorall Polo Green dupe on eBay USA.
Again a different designation - but: NO shipping to Germany - mean, those Americans - GRRRRRR
Phew, that's a lot, I know.
That's why I ordered the Mustang via "the bay." Just under 14€ with shipping from "here"
The order for "Classic Green" from Poland seemed too uncertain to me... .-) .-)
Of course, the specialists among you will wrinkle their noses.
Free after the motto: such a cheap dupe will not come into my house. It's just "scent junk."
But those who don't test cannot (must not!) judge, right?
At least that's been my motto for years!
And????
After applying, I was actually a bit startled at first. It smelled rather sharp.
Mmmmh - so nothing???
You can't say that. Please, the Dorall often costs less than 5 euros in stores!
So it's 14 times cheaper than the original!
What can I still expect for that?
That my expectations are set much lower is certainly not up for debate.
With the original, I expect EVERYTHING for 70 euros!
With Dorall for under 5 euros - the equivalent of a cone of ice cream at the Italian place - the scent works for that!
One should (must!) give the dupe some time. Just a few minutes, then this sharpness is gone and the scent of Polo Green that I know actually comes through!
Moreover, I have the ORIGINAL for direct comparison!
Of course, the connoisseurs -.) among you will sniff out more differences, I'm sure of that.
What I also noticed is that the unique spiciness of the original is not present.
But the overall impression is still quite GOOD!
So why should I spend 14 times more when I can have the same effect?
As I said, the original has been so ruined and is no longer THE Polo I knew.
The longevity is just as poor with Dorall. The bottle is well made for the low purchase price.
Conclusion:
For 5 euros, you can't go wrong.
One hardly has expectations at a currywurst with fries at the snack bar around the corner.
At a fine restaurant for a meal around 70 euros without dessert, one can have expectations!!
Of course, I will not purchase the Dorall again.
I will continue to search for a decent substitute for Polo Green that holds up and is a beloved "stinker"!
By the way, there are companies online that offered "Classic Green" for 5€, but cannot deliver.
Therefore, I suspect it will be changed again with Dorall and come out as "XYZ" or something . .-)
Now I have written a positive fragrance review for Dorall out of "frustration" over the original.
That's something, isn't it?

From the USA manufacturer Belcam "Classic Match" for $8 a dupe - but not available here (??)!
or from Novaya Zarya EdC "SPORTCLUB" 85ml for a bargain price -
