His Aspiration [Edition Bianca]

His Aspiration Edition Bianca

The Dua Brand 2020

I am new to the perfume game and was actually just looking for a new scent for summer... So, I received some samples from my perfume-savvy buddy Luke, including Allure Homme Edition Blanche. I immediately fell in love with this citrusy, creamy, fresh scent and wished to smell like that all summer long. Unfortunately, the longevity deeply disappointed me :(

Then, I stumbled upon Dua in this forum and sought out this dupe. In a direct comparison on the skin (one spray each), I must admit that the original seems a bit more refined at first. With Dua, the lemon is almost too intense. After an hour, the scents are nearly identical. After two hours, things look different: Dua has transformed into my dearly beloved fresh lemon cake, while the magic of Chanel has almost completely faded and is only perceptible up close. After four to six hours, Chanel is already a thing of the past, and Dua is still holding strong!

Of course, you can get a bit more out of it with several sprays on clothing. Nevertheless, the performance of the dupe simply puts the original in the shade.

Conclusion: If you don't care about the brand and simply compare quality and performance blindly, Dua is way ahead!
