Dua's Tri-Neighborhood

I found a closer dupe of To Be Rose Blossom today when I tried DUA's Tri-Neighborhood which has some of that BR540 moss vibe at the later drydown. Tri-Neighborhood is a soft floral scent with an amber-y sweet smooth base which is not like BR540 much, but more like Police to Be Rose Blossom even tho it has that BR540 smooth ambery woody cedar-moss more prominent at the later drydown, but the added hazelnut-cacao and caramel cause it to deviate from the BR540 vein. It is a heliotrope-like, almost almond-y velvety deep scent, powdery and resinous just like Police to Be Rose blossom. They are identical, but Tri-Neighborhood is more mild as in not as plastic as the intense powdery plastic heliotrope-licorice blend of To be Rose Blossom, and its cedar-amber is more peppery-fresh at the later drydown from the ambroxan. The opening is bright from the jasmine sambac, a common note with to be Rose blossom. There is a smooth resinous woody amber-y sweet undertone kinda like BR540, prominent right away in the opening of Tri-Neighborhood, but which quickly morphs into that heliotrope softer licorice type of scent, identical to Police To Be Rose Blossom, not as dark though, and which becomes the vein of the scent. The hazelnut cacao- amber-caramel and the smooth moss blend are giving that smooth amber-y powdery almond-y-plastic heliotrope and licorice impression of To be Rose Blossom, but not straight up almond just like in To Be Rose Blossom. Heliotrope smells velvety powdery but also slightly almond-y as a note, but without the actual nutty almond effect so it's a deeper note sometimes dusty in certain perfumes but not in To be Rose Blossom. I think the moss and hazelnut-cacao specifically create the smooth deep powdery heliotrope-almond-y impression in Tri neighborhood, while the amber provides the resinous effect in both perfumes. The jasmine sambac keeps them bright and uplifting throughout. The caramel adds a licorice type of deep sweetness like the licorice of To be Rose Blossom, since licorice is a syrupy caramel-y note with woody facets, but in Tri-Neighborhood the caramel doesn't give a smoky effect which is good as I despise a smoky dirty amber-caramel - see DUA caramel apple on a stick similar to BBW viva vanilla. The first time I sprayed Tri-neighborhood, I got some caramel smoky nuance but it faded. At the later drydown of Tri-Neighborhood I smell the resinous BR540 moss with some peppery ambroxan-cedar, but the cacao still remains for that To Be Rose Blossom heliotrope impression. The cedar common note in both Tri neighborhood and To Be Rose Blossom supports the intense woody aspect of both which pairs well with the amber, reinforcing that deep powdery plastic-almondy scent so similar with To Be Rose Blossom. Tri-Neighborhood leans feminine but could be unisex too since the drydown has some BR540 resinous cedar-amber-moss freshness and since it lacks the vanilla and pear mandarin fruity feel of the To Be Rose Blossom. So overall it's like a lighter less fruity more unisex and more aromatic dupe of Police to be Rose Blossom with the amber-cedar-moss of BR540. DUA was trying to recreate TriBeCa Bond No 9 but perhaps added more of the cacao-caramel and reduced the sour ambroxan so it's giving To Be Rose Blossom more than BR540.

I absolutely adore this dupe of Tribeca.I have never smelled the original,but if it smells remotely like this sign me up.I get a lot of cacao and caramel in the opening..I definitely picked up notes of jasmine and possibly coconut but isn't listed.. it's nutty and mysterious.I am obsessed.10/10 would recommend for anyone who loves yummy Gourmand scents.This is delicious.

It is absolutely a 1:1 dupe of Tribeca by Bond No. 9 for a fraction of the price, and better longevity. I really love the creamy hazelnut note, it’s so comforting and lux. I have the OG, and I cannot tell them apart.

Tribeca Bond 9 dupe. It smells identical to it. No this smells nothing MFK Bacarrat please stop comparing.

this doesn’t smell like baccarat but it shares some similar notes. This is a beautiful airy yet rich perfume. It is sweet but not cloying. I get traces of coconut even thought it’s not listed as a note.
