Thanks for the reviews. Dua's catalog is so large it's great to see reviews to help narrow down my choices. 🙂 I have found a lot of the ones I've purchased have ended up leaning a bit too masculine for me. I recently got Alienated Essence which is a love. So glad to see you back on RUclips and look forward to more videos. I tend to like longer videos...I'm like you and like to listen in while I'm doing chores. Have a great day! Lisa
I LOVE Angelic Choco Truffle. I got it after I got a dupe of Angel's Share (which I also love). At the end of the day, I can smell Angelic Choco Truffle in my clothes and it is just heaven!
I enjoy your longer videos very much and I’m excited to try DUA. Gourmand fragrances are fairly new to me so I’m not tired of them yet. Sometimes you receive a little sample of a fragrance and you’re hooked!
I have 3 on the way of DUA. My biggest surprise is my Belgium chocolate Cherry which I now adore. I also get the foul sick smell in the Dark chocolate Rum one, had to sell it. I waited 2 months to maserate. *Side note:. I was on their site today 11/29 and definitely see some negative reviews so they are allowing free speech contrary to another person's comment.
Glad to see you here. Missed seeing your face. I haven't tried anything from Dua Fragrances but let me see what you have & familiarize myself with the brand.
Hey there!! Good to see you here! And It’s so good to be back! Dua fragrances are pretty good. Just go with a fragrance you’re already familiar with and you can compare. I think some of their dupes are spot on.
Yes, I’m on this salty, vanilla, coconut type kick. I am usually a huge gourmand lover but I’ve been kinda obsessed with scents that capture that beach vibe.
I have never liked overly sweet fragrances but can't say I am necessarily ant-gourmand either. I prefer my food scents with very little sweetness. I just ordered the Akro discovery set and looking forward to trying Awake and Dark for the less sweet coffee and dark chocolate scents. I am hoping I am not anti-vanilla, I am relatively new to perfumes.
I’m definitely having a spell where I’m just not into super duper sweet fragrances for sure. Akro Awake is the only one I’ve tried from their line. It was great. Not too sweet at all.
Love the long videos!! I have enjoyed every Dua I have bought. Hey,Sweetie & Italiano are on my must buy next list. We are so in sync with perfume, but I think I might have to be dead to stop enjoying gourmands!😂 We will wait for your return with open arms!💗💗
I guess for warm weather I'm off all gourmands except vanilla and marshmallow. I'm really loving Dua's Vaniglia de Madagascar, which I just got. I got some samples with my Dua order that are gourmand which I did not enjoy- there was an apple candy one which was a big NO for me. I eat chocolate every day but I do not love most chocolate fragrances. Oh, and I do love Tonkalicious and Dark Angelica for cool weather. You're making me want to buy Hey, Sweetie! BTW, I don't think any dupes of Ani smell 100% as good as the OG Ani.
Gourmands are just so difficult for me right now so I know what you mean. Smelling like food all day nauseates me 🤷♀️ Have you tried Prada Candy Nights? It’s a dry dusty cocoa and I actually like it.
Annibale’s birthday cake sounds interesting- how would I go about to get a sample? Great video - just got into Dua so need to hear about their other scents. Thanks.
I hate that those labels don't stick! I have one of those as well. A group of us were complaining about them in the dua brand group for a while, but we got nowhere. Just a few of the Fanboys bullied us for complaining. But as far as customer service, nothing was ever done about it. It's definitely an issue! About the owner and customer service, I think that's kind of their downfall. He is not receptive to any type of criticism at all, and makes some very poor decisions because of that. Like not allowing any negative reviews on their website. And deleting my fb post asking to fix the website, as it does not work properly for Android users. Instead of giving me a reply, my post was deleted. Very unprofessional if you ask me.
I think they can do better packaging, or no sticker at all just the name i dnt like the packaging at all.. arabian perfumes are less expensive and have really impressive packaging
@@marisolsantana5449 I never minded the old labels at all. Just the new ones don't stick. That's really bad, and they don't even care. So that makes it worse... To me.
I see Lolita Lempicka Si Minuit in the background. The dark bottle - not entirely sure I remember the name correctly… I thought it smelled like at the dentist and got rid of it 😂😂😂 - do you get that too? Kicking myself for getting rid of it btw…
I’ve got the Illusions Noires Si Lolita Eau de Minuit and the (dark, weird shaped bottle on the far right) and then I have the Minuit Noir (the dark bottle on the left). I never got the dentist vibe 🤣 but I do love that one. Especially this time of year!
Drowning in Vanilla is so beautiful! That and Aphrodisiac are my go-tos 😍 I just got Tartness of Vanilla, Caramel Delight, and my recent obsession, Banana and Vanilla Custard Flan… 😍 Since you talked about Apple, I got a sample of their Original Blend Sour Candy Apple, and it smells really nice ! 💚 I am eyeing their newer original blend releases. Haven’t bought DUA fragrances since 2020, but this year, I did 2 purchases in a month or two 🤣
I haven’t ever gotten into gourmands at all. For some reason the only food I can stand to smell like is fruits/citrus. I don’t like smelling like baked goods, ice cream, milk shakes and the like. I am in the minority, I know. I don’t know what it is about me.
I love Dua they just had a big 30% off this weekend for memorial day and I bought 14 fragrances😩😩😩😩
I’m a Gourmand person!! Just save them for the winter time do not give those away. They are priceless😍🙂

Yay! I'm glad you like Alienated Essence. I suggested they make that one!! 😁
How awesome!!!
Hi Lisa!! Thanks for watching and commenting! You all have me wanting to try the Alienated Essence now 🤣🤣
I vote for longer videos. I enjoy your company and I like how you describe them.
I like the shorter videos (6-8 min) as I've found that with many youtubers (not all), they tend to get long winded (and off topic) with longer videos
I LOVE Angelic Choco Truffle. I got it after I got a dupe of Angel's Share (which I also love). At the end of the day, I can smell Angelic Choco Truffle in my clothes and it is just heaven!
Oh, my goodness, I am loving your accent! I go in and out of gourmand fragrances, always preferring more classic scents.

They delete any reviews that aren't five stars, actually. It's been confirmed by the owner on the DUA private FB group that I'm in.

I love DUA! It's so helpful to find videos like this to help me choose which ones to get as they have so many options on their site.

Same here!
Hey Sweetie is yummy! My favorite is Delectable temptation. Also please try unicorn milkshake 😃 would really like to know your thoughts.
Ooooooo! I’ve been wanting to try that one!
I love my DUAs. Their sales are great and nobody, I mean NOBODY, beats their customer service. ❤❤❤
All of this sound really good 😊
So far i have
alianated(alien essence dupe)
Lira dupe
The Lire dupe was spot on 👌
I’m going to try this brand soon, heard a lot of good things about them.
Just fyi,They don’t accept returns or exchanges.. I don’t hear anyone mentioning that!!!
@@Boyslvmkp well most fragrances can't be returned for hygienic reasons and nobody wants to buy a used fragrance
@@b4glady theres many fragrance sites that accept returns or exchanges. What they do with the returns is to their own discretion
@@b4gladythey don’t even sell samples so if you don’t end up liking it, your stuck
I love hey sweetie too!! As for video length, I'm with you. I like them long. ❤️
I prefer the longer videos too!

Haha!! I have no idea why I’m in this phase! 🤣 but…I have to say, that Italiano might be my next purchase…maybe this fall.
I'm one of those with a really really really really large collection. I got the bug. Big time!!

i absolutely love dua videos ❤️ i only have about 5 but always interested in buying more
I love watching them too. I always think I’m going to discover something groundbreakingly new that I’ve been missing 🤣

I’ve heard more than one person talking about their customer service 😩

Where did you get the caps on your fragrances?
Hi there! This video is almost 2 years old. This is how the bottles looked back then.
thank you, did not realize the caps used to be so pretty:)
I'm sorry I possibly missed it but which fragrance lasted the 12 hours ?? Which would you consider a beast with massive projection??
Hey Sweetie lasted 12+ hours on me. Out of all the ones I currently own, I’d have to say Crater, Hey Sweetie, and Drowning in Caramel Cherry Delight.
I don’t like overly sweet fragrances. Lean more to clean unisex scents! Do you only review Gourmand?
And I am glad to hear it last longer than Jo Malone. ( which I love but like you said performance is not the best)
Watching !!! ☕️🤩
Drowning in Vanilla is so beautiful!

@@PaolaBianka I love aphrodisiac and tartness of vanilla!!
You have me wondering about that Sour Candy Apple!! Smells yummy! I might branch out and try a few more you listed!
I haven’t ever gotten into gourmands at all. For some reason the only food I can stand to smell like is fruits/citrus. I don’t like smelling like baked goods, ice cream, milk shakes and the like. I am in the minority, I know. I don’t know what it is about me.
Thanks for sharing your video take care 😇
I love longer videos
Meeee too!
Longer! I do my makeup and listen to RUclips in the background
What’s their Facebook page?
Search for DUA Divas or just "THE DUA BRAND"
@@thecuriousperfumer that was the magic work! DUA divas, I was searching just DUA. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
I am anti gourmand anything, I tolerate the vanilla bases in my floral, if the note of sweet is even listed anywhere I say no
Lol I know what you mean!
I must be the only one who cant wear the dark chocolate rum scent.....just goes flat and weird on me.
I can see where it could....not too weird. xoxoxo
I love long videos
Meeee too!
