I’m a big Dua fan.. and clones do have their place in fragcom. For those who can’t buy the expensive niche fragrances. And for the OG’s that lack projection & performance. Clones are usually stronger than the O.G’s so they’re great for layering. Il
I really appreciate Dua reproducing discontinued fragrance or hard to obtain here in Australia. They do it so well & I have a lot now. I'm sick of people bagging them as fragrance is so expensive for the average person it allows many to enjoy their passion. They have some really good creations of their own as well.
Dua has gotten a lot of hate in the past, but a lot of their clones are very accurate. Dua ultra zest clone is amazing and very close to original, it helps me save the 3 back up bottles of ultra zest that i have hoarded 😂
There is no way to enjoy a collection of that size. I have a 5 thousand dollar collection, and i find it almost too much to choose from, lol. And, that is after decanting and selling half of my bottles. Kept nothing but high end designer and niche. He just buying bottles to let them sit at this point. I buy fragrances to actually wear them.
This is his living, so it makes sense but I got a 400 bottle collection and its beyond too much, i cant even imagine having thousands and thousands of them. Id recommend 20 to 30 bottles for people just getting into fragrances
I am genuinely confused by comments like this on fragrance channels, criticising the amount of bottles that are in the background. This man has a quarter of a million subscribers and the people tuning in are those who love fragrance. People like me, and I assume you too, given you have felt the need to tell us all you have a 5 thousand dollar collection made up of "nothing but high end designer and niche." Content uploaded by wine experts/enthusiasts will have an abundance of wine in the background. Vids uploaded by book reviewers have shelves and shelves full of books. It is the "shop window", if you will, to their content. All these bottles are the "packaging" of his product, which is the content. Which you don't have to watch. Humans are wired to love aesthetically pleasing things. And most content producers with this amount of subscribers will be given lots of free products, too. Here is content aimed at everyone and not just the rich. And here you are, spraying your scent: I detect negativity, settling into a mid-note of pride and jealousy. With a heady base note of acrid envy. It would have been so lovely to hear about the fragrances you love, instead of this. ❤
@@kirstenclare5280... I totally agree. It's called a "hobby", something you love doing. Stevens hobby is fragrances. Mine too, but unfortunately I put a budget on my hobby. I also have over 100 different guitars and only 10 fingers, which I can only play one guitar at a time. Meanwhile, the rest of my guitars are there to admire. It's MY hobby. I enjoy it as a pastime. At least it's not money wasted on drugs or alcohol drinking.
@@oldschoolfunkster1 Sounds like guitars are not just a hobby for you but also a passion! *And* you get to smell good while pursuing it. Love that for you. I feel lucky because while I love fragrance, and it has long been the one thing I will really splurge on, I have never "got" the idea of changing up my fragrance every day, or even week. I pick one and it becomes "me" until it is no longer my "signature" scent. This can be months or a year or more. I am currently searching for a new one, and feel adrift! I hoped it would be Narcotic Delight, as I fell in love with the 10ml decant but it has zero longevity on my skin,so I can't justify the price. Have my eye on Quattro Pizzi, as think I will love it. Books and writing are my passion. I could open a library in here and I have so many still to read. And I will still keep buying them. Have a wonderful night.
@@kirstenclare5280 ... Great to hear about your passions too! If you're like me, I get a natural high just by enjoying my hobbies. Truthfully, guitar playing was what kept me from doing drugs or getting into trouble when I was in my teens. I had signature scents when I got older, but like everyone, people's tastes change throughout the years. 15 years ago I discovered Middle Eastern fragrances and boy did that open up a Pandora's box! Lol. I didn't realize what I was missing and how elegant, exotic, and mysterious one could smell! The only downfall fall of this hobby is it feels like a never-ending search for one's ultimate #1 fragrance. Loving the journey though! I tell my adult children that at least the grandkids will know what they're inheriting. LOTS of perfumes and guitars!! Lol. Hope you're having a great and safe weekend.
#attitude is so good and now that you have talked about it makes it better, I have all 3 of the one exclusive line as well as Dua's, I also have French Guiana Dua's version of Caribs from Amaffi and they are awesome
@@dannykao1110 And it took 11 purchases to figure that out now I don't usually get their original scents I love the hybrids and tribrids and if I have the original of one they clone I spray 2 sprays of the og and 6 of the Dua to let me keep the og longer

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Hey Steven, let's see what 5 made the list
Is it just me? Or does it seem like the DUA fragrances fade off after about 2-3 hours?
11 of my DUA (including the exclusive 100ml ones) fades faster than the way my ex finished off a Medium size Pizza. (She ate fast, trust me)
😂😂😂 OK! So that kind of tells me I'm not tripping.
Some of them but not the majority.
@@dannykao1110 And it took 11 purchases to figure that out now I don't usually get their original scents I love the hybrids and tribrids and if I have the original of one they clone I spray 2 sprays of the og and 6 of the Dua to let me keep the og longer
