In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Bucharest Elixir Femme by The Dua Brand delivers an opulent oriental profile packed with depth and contrast. The opening hits fast with sharp bergamot and juicy mandarin orange, quickly undercut by tart black currant and a prickle of pink pepper. It does not stay a simple citrus perfume for long. Within twenty minutes…

Reviews →

Alexandria Anniversary opens bright and sparkling, with citrus and aldehydes giving it a polished lift before softer florals and a resinous woody base take over. It reads as a layered unisex scent, fresh at first, then warmer, smoother, and slightly powdery as it settles.
