CRINGE ALERT: Shock Infatuation!
Did you know that when you're acutely in love, you tend to over-salt your food?
Today so happened at lunch and the forecast for dinner is rather gloomy. Yet I've been happily together with my partner for over 3 years - still in love, as on the first day, but the excessive salt consumption had actually subsided quickly back then. So? What is the reason?
Reason for this could actually be my latest acquisition in my perfume collection: Casino Elixir 2.0 from the house of DUA.
I do not want to talk long around the bush, how I had come to DUA and why I hype this brand so much, but start right away with the fragrance, while it still pulsates so nice and fresh on my skin and takes the whole room for itself.
Casino Elixir 2.0 is clearly relationship material. Where many fragrances are only suitable for a (more or less short-term) affair, this one catapulted to number 1 on my list of favorites right from the first sniff. And not only with me - no, it hails constantly and permanently compliments: Despite mask obligation in closed rooms (in Switzerland) I was since I am the proud owner of this fragrance (about 4 weeks) whole 8 times addressed by the opposite sex, not to mention the looks.
Especially but outside the shops, where you fortunately do not have to wear a mask, I am constantly addressed to the fragrance. It reminds me a bit of when One Million was newly launched and I was asked at every corner what fragrance I was wearing. That's exactly what's happening again now - probably because the DNA of the new Casino Elixir 2.0 is so crowd-pleasing above average.
In the opening, the fruity-smoky pineapple bangs around your ears. No pineapple from the discount store, but so one that is already overripe. Already at the first spraying the sweet-smoky smell spreads throughout the room. The sillage is out of this world. The smokiness is very restrained, especially in the beginning, because in the first 30 - 60 minutes you experience mainly the sweet-fruity pineapple. This is joined within a very short time by the scent of cotton candy. This melange begins after a few moments to take over the whole room - attention guaranteed.
Depending on the heat or cold then also after between 30 to 60 minutes the smoky notes appear. Never very pronounced and never very dominant: cotton candy and pineapple deliver themselves still the race of the century. But smoky and woody notes underpin the whole experience and let the fragrance come across strong and masculine.
In the heart notes then birch, patchouli and oakmoss join in, bring the fruity sweetness of cotton candy and pineapple a little bit back down to earth, but still float at least half a meter above everyone else.
It basically never gets to any base notes at all - even after 24 hours, the sweet cotton candy and intense pineapple can be felt along with smoky birch, warming woods, and soothing amber, paired with a little patchouli to give the scent a certain aplomb.
DUA has succeeded here a real masterpiece: Two power houses to combine a power temple, without touching anywhere - this is true art.
Where I have actually learned to appreciate DUA for its great dupes, I am now beginning to love this brand for their hybrids!
Even though I'm guaranteed not a compliment-fisher, who doesn't like getting a nice compliment or two about smelling good?
And with Casino Elixir 2.0, it happens all the time.... It's mostly women who approach me about this fragrance, probably because the DNA is just completely new and yet somehow familiar. But also some men have already addressed me on this fragrance - from two friends I know that they have now also brought the fragrance into the house!
The DNA is simply unique, the performance out of this world: Even AFTER the shower you smell this fragrance still so strong on the skin that a renewed Einparfümieren is actually not necessary. And on the clothes he survives even the intensive wash cycle at 40 degrees.
With the dosage is really caution required - here less is actually more!
I know, my raving about this fragrance certainly doesn't speak to me being objective and idealistic in my assessment of Casino Elixir 2.0. But what I am offering you is a subjective, real-life review based solely on my own experience and the amount of compliments I have received for this fragrance.
Of course, the primary concern is that you can feel good about a fragrance and - most importantly - that the fragrance suits you. This one certainly doesn't suit people who don't like to be the center of attention and are rather shy. No, this fragrance literally screams: here I am, what does the world cost?
And the answer is: 65 USD + shipping and customs.
And no, you do not get the world for it yet - but a breathtakingly delicious fragrance!
Thank me later.
