Ex or no more...?!
Dua Fragrances. A company that specializes mainly in copying sometimes extremely high-priced fragrances and then selling them (now only high-priced). Some time ago I read here at Parfumo that this company started to produce "fragrance combinations" of successful fragrances. Bullshit! What's the point? This isn't gonna work! Or do you?!! Br />
On Black Friday, Dua Fragrances had an offer in which the discount often granted was increased once again. I was leafing through it when I came across "Poseidon's Invasion". Supposedly a mixture of "Aventus (Eau de Parfum)" and "Invasion Barbarians". Both scents I associate with something...
I was a very big Aventus fan for a long time. I sold a bottle with a gigantic batch, got annoyed about it a few months later, bought a bigger bottling which I exchanged because it was too fruity for me and now I have a bigger bottling with a (for me) beautiful batch again. I rarely use it. Too often I have smelled this scent, felt 1000 copies and found it not quite as good as the original. Had dozens of different batches under your nose. "that just smells like a lame batch to me...
At some point, I realized: Aventus and I are done. Two lovers who can see each other from time to time, still get along well, but for whom it is no longer enough to have a relationship. The relationship has been too intense... Still, every now and then you feel a longing for each other.
I liked "Invasion of the Barbarians" the first time. Not more, less. The sample of it emptied itself however nevertheless gradually, because with the time I preferred to win it. Not the perfumed initial part, but the well-balanced, well-groomed freshness that develops after 1-2 hours. I can't wear it all the time, but this feeling of being simply well-groomed and fragrant is always nice :-)
So now a combination of the two? I couldn't imagine. However, there are some perfumes here where I have meanwhile noticed that we have very similar fragrance interests. One of them praised the scent. Couldn't help but take the Black Friday offer...
The delivery is carried out as with my first order reliably after approx. 1.5 weeks. There were no more extra customs costs.
The box is plain black with some characters and looks pretty cheap to me. But I don't care. I'm not the type to leave my bottles in boxes anyway The bottle is standardized by Dua Fragrances, only the labels of the fragrances differ. This is also quite bumbl to me, what counts is the "Juice" ;-)
And what can I expect there?
Directly after spraying the full disillusionment. Smells to me like an unsmoky Aventus batch, which is strongly influenced by pineapple and vanilla. Neat... A big bust. Where the hell's the barbarian?! Within the first two hours the Aventus vibe is turned down a little and a cleanly dressed barbarian comes forward in triple steps very slowly. When it's there, the mMn most beautiful part of the fragrance comes: a subtle invasion Barbaric, cultivated freshness slightly underscored by the vanilla Aventus pineapple. Great, but not a failure!
And with that we unfortunately come to (m)one problem: In order to get this point clearly smelling, you have to apply some sprayers at the beginning. But then you have a very present Aventus and I personally feel uncomfortable with that. Another problem for me: To reach this stage, I have to deal with my "ex" Aventus for quite a long time. However, since I don't want to damage our relationship permanently (because we get along too well for that), "Poseidon's Invasion" probably won't become my new flame. It's a shame, but it's true.
