We were heroes. - And young. - (An emotional journey)
2001 was the year. We wore "Musc Ravageur" full of enthusiasm, feeling full, invincible, walking along like "the hype" itself with big wadded thumping steps. Like the Mashmellowman: what was to stop us. The world was beautiful. We were heroes. And young.
Then came 09/11. planes, driven by shrill madness, crashed into buildings we loved, smoke, screams, we looked at each other plaintively and knew: war. An era ends.
And yes, nothing was the same. I felt different, was emptier.
Did I smell different too? Did I perceive scents no longer as full?
Or had the formulation of that fragrance fallen victim to the need to save money?
I assumed at the time that I was empty, defective, and abruptly aged.
Then today:
Sounds from afar... Wagner, yes... "Tristan and Isolde"... O sweet consuming way, tormenting love's anguish... "Tristan, the hero, with conquering kraaAAaaft... hath empoooorgeraAAaaffft himself from death..."
O sweet agony, but behold: Naram, the hero has, yes... he has resurrected thee, hero of my youth. Dead, yea dead thou didst seem and faded away. But resurrect, yea resurrect shalt thou:
And risen now art thou! Victorious. All-flattering. Not tumb-vanilla ubiquitous using as thy tool, but deep, precious, ambraic wafting through all resins, through all cinnamon and woods. Love's rapture, built on musk's death, consecrated to life. How will I? Stop!-
Yes, it's a bliss, a nasal delight, Never goes out, leads thee home,
a feast, a feast, a nameless devastating feast in the musk nest, in the love feast,
i don't call it and I don't know it...
Assez! - Enough.- Let's not get lost. But it stays, it holds, it looms and flatters.
Not for many, not for everyone, but for the few.
I feel transported back, yet flung forward.
The lad of old, listening rapt on hard uncomfortable bench To those sounds, he has matured, aged, but: The beguiling sound of the lone shawm in the distance.... there it is again!-
Irish maiden...!

Insider's tip. Magic potion. Scented volcano.
I'm still struggling for words. Where to begin? Let's say in advance: The thing has no equal.
I already find considerably exciting: Kei-nes-glei-chen!
Absolutely unique, at least as far as I'm concerned: Here was a bull's-eye set.
Passing was "Black Afgano" by Nasomatto, which should bring us the hash scent. But honestly comes along mainly floral and fruity. Beautiful and harmonious.
Not so "Hades' Elixir!" There are no flowers, no fruits, there is.... IT! But slowly...
So I spray on, knowing that here is the cannabis scent awaiting me. I'm a little skeptical already. Who is going to wear this? Is it the chewy sweetness of the herb as herb as it smells fresh out of the bag before it is burned on? (Nice scent, in my opinion! - I don't consume weed, but the scent is extra-nice and might like to scent my desk. Always wanted to put a gram like this in my drawer just for the sake of scent... and "waft" it. Okay, I digress!)
Alright then... i spray on, determined, open to new things, skeptical....
KAPLONK... i'm hit by an ashtray from my left, behind me someone has lit sulphur sticks, three or four.... HISS... and whoops, the airspace has been closed: Eyjafjallajökull has just erupted... what...? what?!?
"Okay... wait!" Well, that couldn't have been it - wait! WAIT! - And right, that was far from it.... 2 minutes of volcanic ash, chess club in the 90s before the intoxication ban.... no one knows what my opponents were stuffing down their pipes back then.... 3 minutes... The crux of the matter? Knock!
(Come in?)
Knock knock!!! Someone wants to come in, there's someone else.... there's the thing!- "You have to say it three times"!
Now, like organ pipes, in come (with power) those black hash notes. But not "the herb", no: It is the scent on the skin of your beloved after SHE had first treated herself to the herb and then to you. Those burnt notes... Dirty! And so good!
Where did Dua get this? Where was it before? Why didn't I hear about it!
Where have you been for so long?! That's... holy schnikes... complex... indecently finished... a Mahler symphony ecstatically conducted by Bruno Walter, no, the master himself... stamping his foot... And steaming on forever, no doubt booming for 12 hours and processing the leitmotif.... tam-tam-taaaaah. Syncope.-
Wait, basses, driving! Okay, no Mahler, it's Chris Isaak - "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing".... Baby did a very VERY bad thing.- Eyes wide shut. Nicole Kidman takes a puff... Spoiler: she's not wearing much.-
So I don't know if I was able to clarify: The device is magically charged. Unheard of. It perfoms through until tomorrow morning. It's complex, non-trivial, it engages you. Not an annoying front-of-minder that keeps bugging you, you can tune it out... and then bring it back to the front of your mind: peek-a-boo! Immediately there again. On-off. Worry breaker. Doesn't drag penetratingly but is rather a "close combat weapon". Confusing. If you don't know what it is, you probably don't get it right away.
But we know.- We know now.
Would I wear it to work? Nope!
Would I wear it on a date:Yesss.
To the gym? Just made: Check!
I really wonder (no power to the drugs!) if the nano-scale stuff would be detectable in the blood.
Can not. Smells but so!
Honestly: Is magic.
Not a "fairy godmother," but her nasty little sister, who gives a lot more joy.
Gives magic powers: Yes!
In-law compatible: No! oO Nah don't do that.
Last Words: I'm really baffled that you don't hear MUCH more about this. This one's a star!-
Word.
Micdrop.

Fruit Explosions
I am of course far from having competently sniffed through all or even significantly many perfumes. To that extent possible that I'm wrong here, but:
I can not for the life of me imagine that there is a more massive "fruit bomb" than Magnifico.... Briefly sprayed on once - oh come on... another spray, what the heck: "Boom"!
Raspberries, citrus, light vanilla tones...
...then just chupa chups, sherbet...bang on the head.
Mango, tango, fruitchacha... How am I doing?!- A little plumy? Okay... Keep your composure
Okay... in the first 10 minutes definitely too much. Especially for such "a man like me" haha. But okay, it then adjusts a bit, becomes milder, better...
the fruit sharpness gives way a little... conciliatory tones come through. Okay, there you go!
Like so many Dua fragrances, you have to "waft away" the first few minutes anyway, and then comes the performance phase:
And THAT "sticks out", it lasts, lasts and thrills me.
It's not a "men's fragrance." Certainly not. But goes (after 1 hour "warm-up") possibly clear for guys of 20-30 years.
Magnifico dresses, in my view, any saucy and forward woman of any age. However, you need courage to be sweet, to be fruity, "ladylike" goes differently. But does woman want to be ladylike? Who knows.-
Somewhat provocatively expressed: The fragrance makes times 10 years younger. Nasal fresh cell cure.
Overdosed an imposition. But that should be manageable.
Who does not like fruit, should just leave the skin of it. Who loves fruit: "purchase order". ^^
Understatement goes differently. So who loves the quiet tones will not find here. ;)
You love it or you hate it probably. In between vacuum. Go extreme!-

A twin with a life of its own
It had to be. I had to know. It was said: Duas "F'cking Unbelievable" is the congenial and probably best doppelganger of Tom Ford's "Fucking Fabulous"? Hear, hear!
Now I know as such otherwise only "Open White" (btw no comparison!), but it should be anticipated: With Dua you drive well in the Twin-Game.
Carpintero has already put down a masterpiece as a review here, in my opinion. In this respect, I refer olfactory to his analyses, which I share with only slight reservations.
I would perhaps start with the naming: "Fucking Fabulous" is just a bullseye. 1-0
The bottle of Dua is... oh well... already bad. :) So visually. But that's part of the sales approach, here no USD too much to sink.
The box with the magnetic clasp and the foam as a tight hold for's Gläsle is smart, but somehow "hmpf". Never mind! 2-0 for Tommy, let's get to the lead values!
Olfactory-wise, it's a tie for me. I find the opening with Dua not quite so complex and oberwürzig, there goes me a trace too much on liquorice, sage and marzipan, but that settles quickly and then "comes Dua"... and has come to stay. Might actually last a touch longer than Ford. Sillage is hard for me to judge. That would have to then a neutral "Mitriecher" concretely classify. I feel that Tom Ford is slightly "ahead" here, although I have a double-edged view of the "sillage" thing. In my opinion, the task of a perfume is not to "sillage" the whole room. From that perspective, I like Dua better there. In any case, a close race. The whole fragrance theme & chromatics is probably very individually perceptible and dependent on daily form.
Remains, however, the last point that the cost of Dua in this case is well below Ford. If you then still shop with 30% discount and stretch the shipping costs to 3 fragrances. Even if import tax is due. Do the math yourself. :)
In the end, it goes out so about 5-5. Or 4-5 or 5-4. form of the day...
My quintessence: Should have tested every fan of "Fucking Fabulous" times! Do!
Already a very exciting pitch. Maybe also times something for a "blind tasting". Just let it spray on a dreamy Sunday, freely according to the motto "Carry me to my car, I'll take you wherever you want"...

Full on cherry, but not necessarily a bullseye.
I was already very curious. "Arg" excited, as the Viennese would say. Ur-arg! Maybe that's why I was a little disappointed by the comparatively restrained cherry performance of the first 10 minutes.
Hm! - Maybe had to enrich in my "olfactory center" first, to then hit the gong after all? And then it "kirschte" yet. Quite. And stable. And long-lasting.
I can't complain about performance creeping out quickly. Held up, was quite fine, but not the "club on the head" I expected. In this respect, also rather less sillage. But what is also fine for me. Sowas should score "in close combat" and not send a statement into the next room.
But is the fragrance now actually "man-compatible"? Difficult... for me rather feminine. Well, that was to be expected.
The price I find a bit... unseemly. Optics of the flacon: megaschick. The Decanter you can probably already smiling imagine as a showpiece.... hach yes...- (This greed!)
But honestly: I have now ordered me but once from Dua "Popped Cherry". The promise there (as it seems supported by neutral reports) again significant "upgrades and performance enhancements". Well: "If already then already". I am curious. Will report.
And on a beautiful woman, I'm certainly happy to put up with Lost Cherry. It's not like that. Go for it :)
