taking care of the shipping, top notch gentleman.

This isn't an official side by side post, just my initial thoughts.

Myrrh Delight is Dua's take on Rock the Myrrh by Dries Van Noten. Dua did a very good job on this one, but going back and forth, up close you can tell the synthetics used in Dua for the first 10 min. Nothing off putting at all, but you can tell, in the air be hard pressed to notice. On the mid, Dua is a bit thicker, but to be expected as it is Extrait de Parfum vs EDP on the OG.

I kinda go back and forth between which I like better. The thicker and more present Dua makes it feel like better bang for buck, but the smooth and refined Dries Van Noten feels more fit and finished like a tailored outfit. As close as they are, I would almost wear them in different situations, it is odd how that fine line is drawn right down between the 2, yet they are so close, but far apart if that makes any sense.

Another analogy that comes to my car mind, it's like 1 ton pickup and a 1 ton dually, both very similar and both will do 95% of the same work, but there is that 5% that hugely sets them apart.
