So I've actually been wearing this for the last 2 days and am really enjoying it! Fig, black pepper and patchouli are what's listed. Unlisted notes that I'm getting are lemon, musk, sandalwood, aquatic and floral notes. The three listed are by far the most dominant, but the blend is very nice indeed. It barely resembles the light blue DNA IMO. It's fresh, sweet, salty and still somewhat dense for a warm weather fragrance. Longevity for me is moderate. About 2 hours of decent projection with a beautiful patchouli skin scent dry down. Maybe 6-7 hours total depending on how much I sweat. So far from my experience, this is the most unique of the light blue flankers and almost immediately my favorite. I'm definitely partial to fig though. Gris Charnel and Parisian Music are my other fig favorites. I'd love some recommendations on other outstanding fig fragrances if you have any to offer...

Reviewing Dua's Poseidon’s Absolu Elixir. This is clearly inspired by Creed Aventus Absolu, and I’d put it at about 85% close. The DNA is there—you get that bright citrus opening with bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit, backed by a subtle fruitiness from blackcurrant and pineapple. As it settles, you’ll notice a mix of spice and warmth—ginger, cardamom, a touch of cinnamon—balanced with patchouli and vetiver. It’s a well-structured scent, but compared to the original, it doesn’t have the same depth or richness. It feels lighter, a bit more wearable, and less heavy on the skin. Performance is solid. I got all-day longevity, and it was still noticeable 4–5 hours in. Projection is moderate—present, but not overpowering. Overall, if you like the Absolu Aventus profile but want something a bit easier to wear day-to-day, this is a strong option. It delivers the core experience without going as deep or as bold as the original.

Good day gentlemen. I’m really happy to wear this today. I got it delivered yesterday. It arrived to me in less than 24 hours but they do send it from close to where I live. Another one from Crown shaving company. I have the signature blend, which I really really like that was a blind by and so was this. $90🇨🇦 for 50 ml that’s about $65🇺🇸 signature is about $120🇨🇦 for 100ml or $86🇺🇸 but signature didn’t have a box. Both have an amazing atomizer and a magnetic cap. Quite mature and grown up. Not to say a young chap couldn’t wear it. There is a tiny bit of sweetness underneath, but not fruit, sweet or sugar sweet. Tobacco is sweet and smooth. Ingredients say rose ketones, but I’m not really getting rose from it. It’s all very smooth and well blended. It’s not a massive projection but it’s acceptable. I will update you later on the longevity. I’m sad to say though for my American brethren, it is still a minimum order of $300 to be shipped to USA.
