If you enjoy those four fragrances blended together, this is an excellent hybrid that sometimes leans more towards Aventus, other times Elysium, and occasionally Hacivat. With so many declared notes, it’s hard to appreciate them all at once; after several applications, it almost always causes complete olfactory fatigue. Performance has been inconsistent: initially, it lasted barely two hours, neither I nor others could detect it even up close, leading me to suspect a defective batch and nearly return it. However, I left it aside; one day while dusting my bottles, I sprayed it again and was surprised to find it much stronger. Giving it another chance was a revelation: at work, people asked what fragrance I was wearing because I left a noticeable and extensive trail. On another occasion, before entering a house, they told me they knew it was me because I smelled of perfume, even though I hadn’t entered yet. This makes sense: I recall it was out of stock at DUA, then suddenly over 100 bottles were available overnight; it was a freshly produced batch, the same as mine. With about six sprays, it performs superbly, lingering deeply on clothes and projecting strongly on skin for the first eight hours, with the first two hours being particularly intense, then dropping from level 2 to 4 but remaining potent. In heat, it becomes more active, though it lasts slightly shorter. Bear in mind: this demonstrates that DUA fragrances, despite having been reformulated due to complaints about their intensity, must be allowed to settle to reach their peak performance.
