Everest

It seems to clearly be true of this and some other Dua fragrances that they do get stronger and smoother after they sit in the dark for a couple (or few) months after first spraying. For this review of Everest, I want to say at the outset that this sat in the dark for at least four months. It was not as strong when it first arrived. I typically have to use more than three sprays of a fragrance to get 7+ hours of longevity. With this one, three sprays did the job. It took four hours for it to get subtle, and was still detectable after seven hours. (After that, I washed off the residual to put on another scent.) I like Everest, but it's not one of my favorites. I would say it's a year-round scent but not so much for the summer. It's kind of spicy and dense, not a light and fresh citrus fragrance (no citrus jumps out at me with this one). I can't really pick out individual notes, unlike with most scents. It's a BLEND for sure. It's a bit unique and intriguing, but not a refreshing or delicious aroma. It does smell kind of costly, and would work well as a smart business casual office fragrance. It could be a good signature scent for a professional.
