In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Ocean of Dua by The Dua Brand opens with an energetic splash of citrus and herbs. Zesty lime, tart grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon mingle with litsea cubeba to deliver an instant surge of freshness. Aromatic nuances of rosemary, lavender, and thyme quickly join the citrus, giving the scent a crisp, breezy personality …

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.
