Lux Opulent

I have a lot of Dua perfumes. This one here? One of the best. This one is very rich and smells expensive. On me, I smell chocolate notes with a citrus opening and rich woods...I adore this one. Very aromatic and beautiful. I have paid enormous amounts of money and have a vast collection of over 330 perfumes from all over the world. And this one holds up to even the most expensive ones. What a masterpiece of a scent. Great longevity, good sillage, and totally unisex...as good as anything from Xerjoff or Penhaligon's or Tom Ford. 10/10 overall.

Oh wow what a beautiful scent. I love this one so much that I bought two extra back up bottles. I also own Xerjoff Richwood and yes they are very very close. I’d say Richwood had more depth but on dry down, exactly the same. I love both but I won’t be buying Richwood when I run out. I’ll be buying Lux Opulent for sure. I don’t see how anyone can hate such a beautifully made perfume. DUA did a great job with this one.

It's really sad to see all the Dua haters here. It doesn't seem to matter the quality of the fragrance Because they're not excessively expensive, they can't possibly be good according to the haters. I have both Richwood and Lux Opulent. They both are great and it's very very difficult to distinguish the difference. Except, the difference in price.

Bergamot, sandalwood, patchouli, clemintine and cassis come thru the opening blast. I agree this could be a chanel exclusif. The cassis note could be controversial for some as if the chemistry doesnt mesh with it it could turn pissy. That is my only caution about this scent. I would have put plum in to make it more universal and give a sweetness it needs to counterbalance the acidic citrus and scratchy woods and jam up the rose..but thats just me. As the heart opens the patchouli rose on a bed of woods is great. Its strong, slightly rough, arabic in tone. It smells rich, sandalwoody, and radient. I like it a lot. Its different from most of my collection. Unisex that leans masculine. A woman into arabic or heavier complex scents could pull this off. Sandalwood fans..this is for you. Its a quality buy.

I don't remember what Richwood smells like, just that it wasn't very "rich" and I wasn't impressed, thus this would be more aptly named if they actually share similar aroma. With that said, Lux Opulent actually smells like something from the Chanel Exclusifs; it has a classic aldehydic feel with the rose & sandalwood, which pairs perfectly with the sparkly golden image.

Heavy on Rose notes..Sandalwood becomes a bit more prominent in the drydown. However, don't expect a proper sandalwood here like in Tam Dao, Sacred Wood, or Santal Blush.
