The Deception
First of all, I am a huge Pana Dora fan, both of the scent and the performance! I wanted so much to like Dux Orients, as the notes sounded incredibly exciting and the bottle stood out from the already beautiful Pana Dora bottles. Additionally, I am not a big fan of owning the same scents as everyone else from a brand.
Now to the scent itself, at first I smelled it in the bottle and wow! Incredibly unique with an undefinable yet natural fruity note that I have never smelled before. Along with that came a very strong oriental-spicy note, which did not come across as forced like with many others, but rather blended perfectly into the overall picture. I was truly blown away by my "special" find until I sprayed it on my skin and T-shirt for the first time; directly two sprays because it can't hurt... or can it?
What seemed like a balanced mixture in the bottle turned into a horror trip on my skin! The base nuances were still perceptible, but an extremely piercing note joined in. Honestly, I don't know if it's the seaweed or the spikenard, or some other note. What I do know is that the wonderfully balanced scent developed into a piercing direction, which unfortunately remained even in the dry-down.
When I got home again, I wanted to get rid of the scent as quickly as possible and washed my hands thoroughly several times. After that, I finally didn't smell it as strongly... After two hours, my girlfriend came back and immediately complained about the extreme smell (she asked me if I had once again oversprayed one of my perfumes).
What can be concluded from this: The package insert with the warning notices was unfortunately missing!
The sillage is incredible and I still smelled the scent on my skin and especially on my T-shirt even 18 hours later.
Personally, I think Dux Orients will definitely appeal to some, and if you are one of them, in my opinion, you have hit the jackpot with this scent, as such a performance is not often found! Moreover, the scent is also an absolute signature, so you can be sure to always stand out from the crowd.
