Best Initio Narcotic Delight Dupe
Intoxicating Bliss captures the creamy-floral DNA of Narcotic Delight reasonably well, with a comparable balance between the bright citrus top and the rich vanilla-musk base. However, the clone tends to soften the tuberose's intoxicating sillage and slightly mutes the osmanthus's honeyed depth, making it feel less opulent overall. Longevity also trails the original by approximately 2-3 hours.
The clone achieves decent note accuracy but falls short in projection and the intensity of the heart notes, particularly the floral-almond accord. Dua's version is slightly sweeter and less complex than the original's narcotic quality.
