Crater Special Edition captures the warm, creamy gourmand DNA of Grand Soir quite effectively, with the tonka-benzoin sweetness and amber base translating well to the clone. However, the original's Spanish labdanum provides a more refined, slightly woody-resinous character that Dua's version softens slightly, making the clone feel marginally more linear and less complex in the mid-development phase.
Dua's Crater tends to be slightly sweeter and smoother overall, with less of the sophisticated labdanum richness found in the original. Longevity and sillage are comparable, but Grand Soir has better evolution and depth throughout the wear.
What people who wear Dua Crater Special Edition report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“It's a bit balsamic, I'm trying to find a way to use it since it's an extrait it's obviously too strong to use like a regular spray so any tips would be appreciated. I almost want to dilute it lol, but it's a very high quality perfume.”
