What wearers say

“If you love this, but don’t want to spend the money + get better projection + get better longevity, get DUAs “hidden gardens.” I promise it smells IDENTICAL!! And I’ve never said that about a dupe. Dupes I think are close or similar but never identical. But trust me when I tell you the DUA brand dupe is identical. AND it performs better. You’re welcome.”

“Non-offensive, barely noticeable, perfectly meh. To me, it smells like a bathroom where someone has just washed with a blue, marine-scented shampoo and then put on a rejuvenating night cream. And I think that’s the clue of my associations - my mother had way too many cosmetics and half of her face creams smelled very similar. Honestly, I don’t understand the hype and the praise from people who somehow see a “father” in this (other than the one in the name). It smells like a face serum sample from a women’s magazine, they even got sillage and longevity right.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Mildly sweet, powdery woody skin scent, quite pleasant.. the big caveat is that projection and longevity on this are ABSOLUTELY ABYSMAL.The definition of an “intimate scent”.. You wear this for personal comfort, not to make a statement nor garner any compliments, as I have a hard time believing anyone around you will be able to smell it unless they literally come bury their nose on your skin. Sillage & trail are NONEXISTENT.”
