Just received my bottle and sprayed on two sprays to the wrist and it seems like it's giving me a nice aura. I've never smelled BR540 before but if it smells like this then I might have to get a decant one day. I jumped on the hype train for CRN and had to buy a bottle after the crazy reviews people were posting about it.
However I must say DUA seem's to make equally as good scents. If at all possible I will always go the Alexandria Fragrances route for clones due to the simple/non-douchey design of their bottles and the infinitely superior spray performances. It's equally as sexy, just doesn't have those nuanced characteristics that come with drydown (all the things that get missed in daily use anyway). I would say it's about an 80% hit on the real thing. The DUA Casino Nights fragrance itself is F'ing amazing. Have to hold the bottle 2 inches from skin and still spray 4 to 6 times for any sort of coverage.
it's 'spitting' out tiny amounts of the fragrance. With a quality sprayer, usually 2 sprays is all you need because they're borderline hoses. The DUA bottle performance is as poverty as the design. They give the impression that they were purchased out of a 7 eleven next to car fresheners. The DUA bottle designs are embarrassingly tacky.
