7.8

The Dua Brand

Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand

The Dua Brand Sweet Tabacum is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent built on tobacco leaf, cocoa, tonka bean and vanilla. The scent reads sweet and gourmand as a whole.

Spicy, woody and resinous tones and a faint smoky edge keep the sweetness in check, and there is a synthetic side to the accords too. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Voters lean towards night out, leisure and evening wear, though it also gets picked for the office. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) and Theodoros Kalotinis Velvet Chocolate have a close profile.

The Dua Brand · 2020

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Leisure, night out and evening are the occasions picked most often. The scent reads as a whole built on black cherry, cherry liqueur and griotte syrup, deepened by caramel, honey and rum. Cinnamon and bitter almond add a spicy edge, while vanilla, benzoin and roasted tonka bean bring a creamy warmth. Amber, sandalwood and labdanum sit underneath as a woody, slightly smoky base.
