This is a Dua original. Woody, spicy with a sweet lavender base. The opening is a bit strong sweet lavender, more suitable for a nice designer house candle, but after a few minutes it starts to settle and you go more of that piney and woody forest with a hint of cardimom.

This absolute beauty landed at my doorstep today and I had to put it on. This stuff is great and IMHO a fantastic flanker to the already very well done Red Rum. This now sits at #1 spot for favorite from the house. Congrats @Will Southard with this flanker, well done. Orris was a nice touch. Fragrance Notes: - Top: Black Cherry, Spiced Rum, Davana - Heart: Plum, Orris, Tobacco - Base: Sandalwood, Oak, French Vanilla Folks if this house is new to you, must check it out at https://www.thirdeyefragranceco.com/ Will is a good dude, great customer service and a fellow frag head. I think he is still a one man band. Put it on your calendar, it releases Aug 17th. Encourage you to pickup a discover set when you order this one as well

Dua's version of Bond No. 9 Lafayette St. I don't know how they compare, I never smelled the OG. It's nice, but is straight up reminds me of Montale Wood and Spices. Does anyone else compare Bond and Montale for this DNA or am I trippin.

Dua's version of Xerjoff Naxos, after about 15 minutes, to my nose, it's a near 1:1 clone to the OG.

Fell in love with this on first sniff. It is Dua's take in Alghabra's Cuban Tobacco, which I will in a short bit to do a side by side. This is very similar to Dior Tobacolor, which I did a full wearing of a few weeks ago.
