Love at first sniff and that does not happen often for me. The initial coconut blasts is very persistent and remains throughout the duration of the scent. Coconut is not listed but it’s the key note. The whiskey note is the 2nd most noticeable along with smooth woods. Then way in the background is cypriol oil. Yep the key note in YSL M7. That adds to the ruggedness of LMC. It’s a limited edition so I might grab 2 bottles. This is a true beast mode scent on my skin. Over 10 hours of longevity and the scent bubble is very apparent.

This is nothing like Nasomatto baraounda…it’s extremely harsh oud and rose heavy scent… some people swear by it but somehow it’s off-putting for me…it’s just my opinion… the performance is extremely good… beyond eight hours

It’s a nice frag that does remind me greatly of an incense I used to burn when I was a kid in the 80’s, not to reference resin or incense notes, just saying it bears a strong resemblance, had an instant recognition of this on the test strip.
Definitely boozy with a powder aspect, I’d characterize it as thick, a likeable non-screechy powder to my nose, and I can see people really liking this tho it’s not something I personally would wear. I think most people would find it very pleasantly intriguing.
Did not project a lot off the paper and was largely gone after 8 hours which I have no problem with. I don’t think it would be a beast in performance, but I’m not a fan of massive longevity in fragrances.
I don’t know what Baraonda smells like, and I don’t get coconut out of this.
Well worth trying, I’d say a must-try for people into these sorts of scents, it was a fun sniff right off the bat, but with the dry down just not something I would actually wear.
Positive experience with DUA so far, I’ve tried two of their frags so far, both worthwhile, and am in the process of trying one or two more.
If this is indeed comparable or very much like Baraonda, I’m glad there is a company that competes with some of these niche houses high prices, which are frustrating for the lower income of some of us in Frag Comm who don’t have a lot of expendable income outside of hookers.

Not a fan of this as I had hoped. Too much coconut scent even though it’s not listed in the notes.
I don’t find that it smells anything like Nasomatto Baraonda which is why I bought this. There’s also too much wood for my liking.
Also, it’s a skin scent after 4 hours.
Update months later… THIS JUST SUCKS in my opinion. I tried it again last night before bed and I think it was the cause of my nightmares and terrible sleep – seriously.

I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE!!! Im told it is a clone of Nasomatto Baraonda. I havent smelled Baraonda, however Dua’s LMC is AMAZING! It boozy, coconutty and spicy. I have numerous Dua frags and this one is my favorite.
