Today's fragrance is inspired by Dior Sauvage Elixir. DUA Brand’s interpretation amplifies the richness and density of the original, pushing it further into extrait territory with deeper warmth and enhanced longevity. If you appreciate Sauvage Elixir’s spicy-aromatic DNA but want something more intense, longer-lasting, and slightly darker, this delivers that experience convincingly. The composition leans heavily into warm spices and aromatic depth, balanced by a resinous backbone that gives the scent real weight and longevity. There’s a dark, almost regal quality here—something that feels tailored for evenings, cooler weather, or moments when you want to project authority and presence. Performance is excellent: strong projection early on, followed by hours of lingering intensity that stays close but never disappears. What really stands out is how polished it feels. Despite its strength, it never crosses into harsh or abrasive territory. Instead, it maintains a smooth, slightly creamy texture that makes it addictive and wearable rather than overwhelming. This is the kind of fragrance that earns compliments not because it’s loud, but because it smells intentional. P.S. Whic picture do you like best. The one on the left is the picture of the fragrance I had taken while it was sitting on my desk. The second one is the same bottle, but I generated an "nautical-themed" bckground with AI.

Finally diving into my sample set from this new house. decided to start with number 8. Just a random choice. This one is beautiful, but its soft and intimate. Definitely not a projection beast. Its a little spicy and resinous. With a comforting woody base. There is a hint of florals that round this out nicely. It sort of reminds me of the lobby of a really nice beach resort. This is definitely unisex, but takes turns leaning a bit feminine then a bit masculine, then back in the middle. This would be a great scent for a night out while on vacation. Soft enough for work. This reminds me of something but I can’t quite place it, but it is definitely something that no one else will have. I am on the fence if this is full bottle worthy yet, but it is leaning that way. This 10 ml has a few more wears in it, but I do have to overspray it so it might go fast. If you guys can make it to Bloomingdale’s I say check it out. Stay smelling good my brothers.
