I have several niche and designer bottles well over $150 and NONE of them come close to having as nice an atomizer as the 3 dua fragrances i own. I don't know why theirs are better and more even and "mistier" but I will say they are the best I personally own so far. I dont own any creed or PDM so i cant say for sure they're the best, but they are better than all of my personal collection.
