DUA FRAGRANCES Poseidon’s Desire II
Poseidon's Desire II, a vibrant fusion of Creed Aventus and Xerjoff Cruz del Sur II, encapsulates the essence of a bustling fruit market. Opening with a burst of radiant bergamot and freshly picked apple, it quickly transitions into a plummy cocktail with tropical guava and sugary sweet dried fruits. The fragrance transports you to a lively marketplace where patrons eagerly fill their baskets. In the heart, classic florals like jasmine and rose intermingle with the smoky birch, nodding to its Aventus heritage. The base, enriched with patchouli and cedarwood, brings an earthy depth that balances the initial fruitiness, embodying the vibrant spirit of summer in a bottle.

Just ordered this, after ordering Casino Elixir 2.0 and having both of these is a complete must. This is a exactly as escribed, fruity aventus with Cruz del Sur II. If it had more smokiness, it would be 11/10
Not what was expected.
Also cost plus postage is extortionate for a sample item.
As the title says, I admire the perfumery and Dua's work on cloning and mixing the underlying inspirations. However, this fragrance is a musky, smoky, woody and spicy pineapple-mango blend. It's not a fragrance for young men like me (I'm 25), because it's not the slightest bit sweet. Only buy this if you have the tastes of a man older than around 35.
