Counted Out....

Now I finally have the sample of Dudù in front of me. I immediately placed a spray on my stomach, pressed my wrists to it, and dabbed them on my neck. One of the previous reviewers here mentioned that one should be cautious with the dosage. A wise piece of advice, thank you. It probably saves me from having to sacrifice my dinner right away.

The first impression is sweet, spicy-fruity, rich, and the first word that comes to mind is: “Delicious.”
But now, after just 5 minutes, I notice that I am gradually feeling nauseous. As already noted here, Dudu is strong, sweet, cloying. This dense spicy-sweet fruitiness seems overwhelming, sticky, almost tuberose-buttery. That must be the Frangipani, which I have never smelled in such a concentration before. Interesting, educational experience, but still: I miss something lighter, fresher to balance this scent out so I can wear it.

It feels as if I have indulged too much in an incredibly delicious buttercream cake out of sheer hunger/desire. Even after 2 hours, this feeling doesn’t change.

Maybe the impression is different in sub-zero temperatures. Perhaps Dudù warms and protects with its opulence in nasty weather.
I think I’ll dare to approach this scent monster again - when it’s freezing cold.... and on an empty stomach.

Too sweet, heavy, like a car air freshener times three, nauseating, it made me flee. No trace of Frangipani, which I love very much. Completely different.
