I orderd 5 gourmands from dua and received them a week ago... however I havent been using them as they have this very strong musk smell that overpowers all the gourmandness.... so I am letting them sit... I hope they get better after sitting and the musk goes away 😢
@@KaRmaKissesz I haven't gotten a chance to do a lot of testing but I would say about average performance 6 hours-ish with medium to light projection. I mentioned coffee and shortbread cookie but maybe it's more like coffee and butter cookie.. not that that makes a big difference 😅. Reminds me of a bookstore coffee shop with those little pastry cookies behind the glass 🥲. Also I picked up a full 3.4 oz bottle on eBay for like $25!!
"A black coffee with some milk in it" made me laugh. Thank you for the info. I can't stop scanning coffee frags.
Thank you. I just ordered Cafe de Dua after hearing your review.
I have both Cafe de dua and Carmel coffee, love them both. I also have Salty Choco coffee in time out 🤣
I only had a sample of Salty Choco Coffee, I dont remember how it smells. What are your thoughts on it?
I LOVE Salty Choco Coffee. I seldom wear it, but have two bottles. It's one of my favourite scents from DUA.
I can’t do coffee , maple syrup some caramel is a no go too

Usually letting them sits helps the notes have time to blend a little better. I hope they smell better to you in after some time
Have you tried bath & body works "Coffee and whiskey" ? I get a coffee and shortbread cookie vibe from it! 🤤
noooooo BUT I have had my eye on it! Now, I definitely need to try it

Is cafe de DUA your favorite where the pastry scent comes through? I remember you mentioning others but I don’t remember what they were.
I’m looking for a DUA fragrance where the cake notes come through.
Yes Cafe de Dua to my nose smells like a smooth black coffee with some italian cookie pastries :D
