    Sounds wild. Guessing if people don’t like the scent, they won’t have much time for an explanation of its ironic bent; I can imagine the blank stares as the disclaimer unfolds :)

    Wow what a great review. I’m indifferent about Duro and have no place for it in my small max 20-25 bottle collection but you have articulated your experience with it and I totally ‘get it’.
    I love gaultieri, he is really master of marketing and uses synthetic and modern techniques to portray very ‘human’ things with his sweaty musks and poopy ouds. I watched his documentary and I connected with him, he has no desire to profit or abuse his consumers and he just wants to evoke an emotion, be it positive or negative at least he made you feel something. I’d rather be offended by a gaultieri then feel nothing from a bisch or zerokian fragrance.
    There’s great parallels between gaultieri and another artist who is the master of marketing, has unbelievable love for his audience and his greatest desire and success is from making you feel something. He also is obsessed with humanity as his instrument, in this instance the human voice and he manipulates it and layers it synthetically kind of like gaultieri does with his perfumes. This is of course, Kanye West.
    I own baraonda and pardon and I’m desperate for a third one just because my shelf would look so much better with 3 😂😂😂 currently stuck between black Afgano and silver musk. Baraonda is my SOTD.
    Orto parisi I am much less impressed, seems that latest releases lack creativity and you can call it a DNA but reusing the same materials and ideas across a lot of perfumes does cause a lot of redundancy but I will test them all out of respect and intrigue. What do you think about this, how stercus, boccanera, pardon, black Afgano and terroni have a lot of overlap?
    Also, Gucci intense Oud is a blatant copy of black Afgano, and guilty absolute is a copy of Duro. Maybe 70% copy? Where do you draw the line for calling it a clone and for it being distasteful. Is it a certain % similarity or are we giving Gucci a get out of jail card because they’re famous and not a typical Middle Eastern clone brand!
    Sorry for the long comment.

      @SeldomlyOften  День назад +1

      Thanks for the awesome comment, I enjoyed reading it.
      The great stuff about Gualtieri products is that they are very honest about not being daily perfumy perfumes; they are designed to leave an impact on every wear.
      Yes, a lot of Gualtieri fragrances have a lot of overlap but you have think about the collection from a normal point of view: most customers will choose 1, maybe 2 and the slight nuances is scent are masked by the mental image your form from the marketing.
      I have not smelled the Gucci Oud but I don't think Gulty absolute is a clone of Duro, they might have the same-ish vibe and character but the Gucci is much more simple, by design. Duro has the unique spices and it's intentionally ironic.

    Duro is simply amazing. It is something recognizable, but unfamiliar at the same time. It's very appealing and addictive. I could wear it pretty much every day. I only wish it came in a 50ml bottle. 30ml is a lot of Nasimatto, but you pay a lot for just the packaging. ❤❤👏👏

    Duro is an exceptionally masculine fragrance with a sexy bold vybe. My top 3 in the collection with pardon and baraonda. I have almost completed the line with china white coming in yesterday and hopefully, hindu grass arriving on my birthday next month. Im so in love with the bottle designs, creative smells and extraordinary thought processes going into these fragrances. The only line I've collected all of. I've tried to love the orto parisi line aswell but it doesn't give me the same dopamine hit as the nasomatto line. I keep them on a table right next to my bed and just love smelling all one by one. I feel like I'm going crazy for them, haha. Btw I still want to see your in-depth reviews on fantomas, blamage in full, silver musk, and narcotic v. I know you may not be into those fragrances much but it's so fun collecting them and hope you get to review them one day
