In recent years, I have, with breaks, again and again engaged with Aventus. Various batches and dupes I have smelled, it must have been the terrific drydown that has triggered me again and again positive. After perceived omnipresence was the air but at some point out.
My desire was small self-creation, an Aventus with a precocious, tart, slightly sour pineapple, less sweet in the top note. At ready fragrances came closest for me "Nero (Eau de Parfum) | Mazzolari", so in the kind I wanted it, only in cheap.
At the time (3-4 years ago) I felt the Eclat Dupe as the best alternative in terms of P / L (even if the drydown does not come close to Aventus), the real Aventus was we to pan but discreetly too valuable.
As a pineapple boost I ordered me "Pineapple | Demeter Fragrance Library / The Library Of Fragrance" .
To my disappointment, I had to find -> Pineapple by Demeter is unfortunately a sweet, ripened pineapple.
Nevertheless, I had Bock to be creative and mixed with pipette and syringe on it and meticulously wrote me the mixing ratios on.

Long Story short:
A great, independent fragrance was created, which contained not as desired a tart, but a much sweeter pineapple as a top note.

I am always attracted to DUAs and felt like testing this one. When the prompt delivery of a bottling arrived, I was amazed:
"The smells exactly like my mixture at the time".
I immediately rummaged in my collection and found the mixture with 75% Eclat, 25% Demeter Pineapple, sprayed both fragrances on a cotton pad and it smelled over hours felt almost identical.
On the wrist, I could no longer detect a difference after 30min.

Dua does not reinvent anything and you can too ;). So if you do not want to spend on customs costs, the terrible bottle and save a lot of money -> get creative :).

After a few months of abstinence from Parfumo I came back and was felt slain by Überfliege Dupes, fragrance remixes of Dua. I was hyped because here apparently previously impossible became possible, the often criticized HS in many fragrances is catapulted to level 9000 and fragrance compositions of various best sellers are mixed.
In the souk, various bottles are offered for sale which are immediately sold again, so it was clear to me that the hype is real. I then put together my own Dua Order and waited for the first five bottles.

About the fragrance:
According to Dua a blend of both worlds, Bergamote22 and Aventus. The latter I own in various batches, the charm has faded, however, only the drydown is still heavenly.
B22 I had never tested before. Therefore, I also ordered 22 Shades of Bergamot.

The fragrance starts for me synthetic fresh, fruity. Strongly reminiscent of "Matrix | The Dua Brand / Dua Fragrances" . After a short time, there is a touch of the also synthetic brother of Aventus. I definitely smell the familiar Aventus DNA.
At this point, I must already say, that's it.
Maybe I was expectation just too high, but a further scent progression does not take place.
The fragrance remains very present, but persists in its artificial nature. On it almost seems as if Ambroxan would be here in the game, because the fragrance just incessantly bangs.
I miss the, for me, unmatched, harmonious development to the Aventus drydown.
Also, Aventus seems to me more "natural" what the used fragrance oils.
The scent is now still after days on the cotton pad clearly present, on my skin it was determined 18-24Std.

Conclusion:
The fragrance may move on :).
