I Am Confusion
I have Game Time from Alexandria Fragrances, Casino Elixir, and Casino Elixir 2.0. Casino Elixir was the first one with this DNA I purchased. Love it! My only gripes are the strong alcohol opening (only lasts a few seconds though) and the atomizer, which sprays a bit wider and mistier than I'd like (also an older bottle so the metallic-colored coating is wearing out). Edit: I think all or most Dua fragrances have that initial alcohol blast.

I bought Game Time as a lover of AF, curious of their take. It's more subdued/subtle...not as sweet and juicy as CE, but it is more refined and overall 'higher quality'. I slightly prefer CE but its more expensive and only sold in 30ml unless you can get a special edition bottle.

CE 2.0 I bought because CE didn't seem to last very long on my skin and it's ranked higher here. Well, I'm here to tell you...it's my least favorite of the three. There's this stank on it I do not care for. Also noticed it in Pour Homme (By Man clone) and Drowning in Zest. I keep hoping it will go away. It isn't as pronounced after 20 minutes or so but still lingers. Its as if CE 2.0 tries to mimic GT but with less oakmoss in the drydown and more black currant (?). Still serviceable but I prefer the other 2 more. Maybe it will get better over time.

Fruchtige Ananas
Als ich den Duft das erste mal gerochen haben, kam mir direkt die stechende, fruchtige Ananas entgegen(im positiven Sinne), sowie die klassische BR Note. Direkt konnte man beide einzelne Kompositionen deutlich herausriechen.

Duft technisch habe ich überhaupt nichts zu bemängeln. Je mehr sich der Duft entwickelt, desto schöner wird er für mich.

Hingegen kann ich den Hype, um die Haltbarkeit nicht nachvollziehen und finde demnach eine 9.x mehr als zu viel. Nach etwas 4-6h nehmen ich am Handgelenk kaum noch etwas von dem Duft war. Wäre diese besser, würde ich den Duft von der Einzigartigkeit aber trotzdem nicht sehr hoch einordnen.

Da der Duft von Preis her nicht gerade günstig ist, würde ich den Duft nur mit Vorsicht empfehlen. Vllt bin ich auch einer der wenigen mit dieser Meinung.

LG Max

Baccaraventus
Dua does dupes. You can spin it, cushion it, and explain it however you want, the statement isn't too far-fetched. It doesn't matter if it says "inspired by" or not. High quality, affordable, fabulous and sometimes even superior to its role models, but still dupes. That's why I was rather skeptical of the brand - but then at some point I wanted to take a sniff at the phenomenon and ordered, among other things, "Casino Elixir 2.0", now almost a kind of legend among the "copied perfumes". Because he (or his predecessor) were probably so with the brutal starting signal for the fact that Duo with the fusion (!) Two hit DNAs was now independent enough to take them seriously, to hype and to buy. Even if one can be critical of this "plus+plus=double-plus" scheme. A fragrance like "Casino Elixir 2.0" you still have to put first on the legs.

"Casino Elixir 2.0" takes 70% "Aventus" (rather fruity versions) and mixes it with 30% "Baccarat Rouge 540" - ready is a sublime appearance between high-pitched pineapple and mellow saffron, as you hardly thought possible. The first few minutes are a bit heavy, almost triggering migraines for me if I spray too close or go for it with the plunger. In addition, you can not completely deny a certain synthetic, I would rate the much more expensive paragons qualitatively minimally higher. Or at least they seem a little milder and better blended, more harmonious. But these are only nuances at the price and this penetrating beauty. Dua goes to the limit anyway in terms of performance and potency, which can then quickly seem "too much". A creamy "Aventus". A fruity "Baccarat Rouge 540". Father and mother from the olfactory nobility. Call it what you will. A crowdpleaser full of confidence and sexiness. Overall, "Casino Elixir 2.0" is the most beautiful Frankenstein experiment ever. Sorry, Elsa Lanchester!

Flacon: handy, sticky, capable, pretty is different, though. But's more about the content.
Sillage: filled the entire dance school last Friday
Durability: doesn't stop, even if you have enough - 13 hours

Conclusion: no matter how skeptical you are about Dua, Dupes or the "simple" fusion of two top fragrances - it is quite likely that "Casino Elixir 2.0" will inspire and convince you. Even more so if you love the role models and parent fragrances. It's a classy budget powerhouse of two blockbusters. A little I must deduct in the rating but due to lack of independence. But "laziness" was rarely a finer treat!

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.
Cheers

The best of 2 worlds
To answer one question in advance: Yes, this fragrance can what, even quite a lot. It takes the best ingredients of two great fragrances and plays off the common theme to near perfection. You'll guess, dear reader, we're talking about Aventus and Baccarat Rouge.

So this creation combines the basic fruitiness and wonderful pineapple of Aventus and underpins the whole thing with the airy and seductive sweetness of Baccarat Rouge that we know. The result is a hybrid that you can easily call more than just successful.

At the beginning, the impacts from the house of Creed clearly predominate. Only reserved in the background of the opening fruit cocktail we notice something sweetish, warming in the approach. It's not quite clear what it is yet, but it's definitely there. Only gradually do the sweet elements manage to tentatively assert themselves, allowing this composition to add another dimension. If you know the light, sweet mist of Baccarat Rouge, you'll find it here.

For durability and projection, I'd like to use the vocabulary "outstanding". You will be noticed, guaranteed. On my skin, this scent easily lasts 10 hours with air to the top. On clothes, 2 days is no problem. And yes, even then it still radiates. Compliments guaranteed. This one just goes on forever.

Why it is rated as Nr1 unisex fragrance on here??? It is your average aventus-like blend, stains clothes and kills all flies at 200m radius

Same experience as the user below, I purchased a bottle during Dua's black friday sale and longevity is a distaster. 3 hours and it's gone.
