A great chypre at an affordable price.

Since no one has written a comment on this great fragrance here yet, I will do so now, so that interested perfumers have a little more clues :)

I was looking for an alternative to Diaghilev from good Roja. Because, although I'm really keen on experimenting, just under 1.000€ for a BlindBuy is a bit much :D
And as it is so often the case, DUA Fragrances offers a supposedly authentic clone at a much more affordable price and so I dared the BlindBuy from a nice perfume colleague :)

The fragrance starts very fruity and typically chypry (is that a word). Lemon and lime come through well, I think. Only in the background is the tarragon, which gives a slightly greenish touch.

After a good hour you get to the heart note. Fruits on some flowers and some spices.
I usually find it very difficult to smell out individual notes in Chypren, and that's the way it is here too. But that is not what matters to me. I am interested in the interaction of the individual components. And that's 1A!
It can be said that the longer the fragrance unfolds, the tarter it becomes.

Because only after about 3/4 hours you reach the dry-down. And that's the one I think is really convincing here!
Ambergris, vanilla, all hand woods, musk and leathery resins provide here for a tart, masculine and somewhat sweet dream scent!

This way the scent is retained for a long time until it is close to the skin after about 11 hours.

In conclusion, I find this fragrance very pleasant and beautiful to wear! So much so that I might take a look at the real Diaghilev... but first only a few ml :D
If that happens, I will try to add a comparison to the commentary.
