The Magical 3
The magical 3 ingredients,

that once created a masterpiece.
Sweet, gourmand, masculine and yet also feminine.
Yes, you know which one I and everyone else here are talking about.
Gaultier 2.

And now Dua is trying it with the Error 405.

Today I was lucky enough to swap for a Dua Error 405 and I am still one of the few fortunate ones who have the original in the closet.

Once home, both out of the packaging and both on the skin to test, test, test.

In direct comparison, the Dua starts much sharper and needs a moment.

In my opinion, it is the perfect copy and I can now wear my favorite scent from my youth more often and not just on special occasions.

Anyone who loved Gaultier 2 and wants to feel transported back in time should grab this. It’s as if he’s back, just in a different guise.

I am blown away

Jesus, if the original smells even better, I'm going to be broke soon.

Welcome back Gaultier2. In its old freshness and strength.

With just three ingredients, no one can achieve what Kurkdjian did back in the day. Although Dua performs quite well here..

Much fresher and sweeter than Gaultier2. The similarity is there, but they are more like cousins.

Wonderful dupe for Gaultier² & Altamir. Strong vanilla-plastic sweetness that is perfect for cold days! Love it!

The similarity to Gaultier2 is definitely there, but I'm bothered by a plastic note in the background that really clouds the overall impression.

Definitely not unisex!
I smell burnt plastic/burnt hairspray in the background, which unfortunately makes it even more unbearable.
Only for men.

A good alternative to Gaultier² - Dua has definitely captured the similarity.

Absolutely amazing scent. I don't even know the original and I don't want to. This fragrance is convincingly good!

Very beautifully ambered musk scent with a fresh touch like Sculpture Homme Eau de Toilette
