Lol, no I'm not selling.
I'm just a fan of fragrances & this house in particular.
What makes them great is that every creation is at the highest concentration possible, which is extrait de parfum.
Most designer brands & even overpriced niche are only Eau De Toilette concentration, with a handful being eau de parfum.
If you've ever liked a particular fragrance, you've probably encountered the disappointment of it being discontinued, watered down over time, or even reformulated to where it's a shadow of its former glory.
What DUA does that's awesome is they revive discontinued fragrances, restore reformulated fragrances to their original glory & issue them at Extrait concentrations. Some of them smelling even better than the original.
The owner, Mahsam Raza, being a master perfumer will put his own spin on a fragrance, tweaking & amping certain notes in some cases to create what he sees as an improvement.
He also sources the ingredients from the same suppliers as the original in most cases.
You can also buy a sample to see if you like a fragrance before spending on a full bottle.
There is also a DUA Facebook group where he interacts with customers to keep them informed on new releases & take feedback, suggestions & requests for fragrances.
If you don't like a fragrance, it's pretty easy to sell or trade it on the page with other DUA members.
He also creates hybrids, tribrids & even quadribrids by combining popular notes from 2, 3, even four fragrances.
The most popular being Casino Elixir, a hybrid combining notes from Baccarat Rouge 540 & Creed Aventus.
It's nice to spend $50 & enjoy a unique fragrance that's discontinued, costs $500+, or is watered down, reformulated.
You could say I'm a fan, as I've spent over $3,000 on DUA alone, with several people in the group having spent considerably more, even having whole rooms dedicated to their collections of DUA & other fragrances.
A real testament is that there are people who sell their original so they can buy several of DUA's interpretation.
This ends my TED talk.
If you want any advice or suggestions, feel free.
