Smoked Cherry

This marks my debut into the world of Dua fragrances, though I've had the pleasure of testing a few from their collection previously. Right off the bat, I must commend how remarkably close this one comes to TF Cherry Smoke, just as it's intended to be. I found myself pleasantly surprised by the quality of the raw materials, which faithfully replicate the original scent. The sillage is big, effortlessly filling a room with a delightful presence. A word of caution, though: when applied under-chin, it can be quite potent, so tread carefully. In terms of longevity, it certainly delivers. If I were to nitpick, I'd say that TF might have a slightly smoother, more finely blended profile, but considering the price point, this Dua fragrance is an unbeatable choice.

Dua is getting better and better these days, and this is a great example of that. This is good enough I will never be tempted to buy the real thing. I don't own the real one, but I have sampled it many times and to my memory this is very close. Performance is great, like all Dua's.

Very close to cherry tabacum but no tobacco note. More mass appealing.

This lasts absolutely forever on both skin and clothing. It smells almost identical to the real thing and for me works on very chilly days. It can be too much on hot days. Leans more feminine than unisex but it's very sexy and not too girly.

I'm not a fan of cherry. Most of my dua fragrances I have blind bought. This is one I'd say id say is worth your buck. You definitely get the incense, smoke, cherry, but also very powdery! Unisex.
