Sweet Serenade was such a disappointment to me & I’m a major gourmand lover. I sold mine. There was no sweet vanilla to mine. Mine smelled like incense & was kind of spicy. Thankfully I have so MANY other gourmands from DUA I absolutely LOVE. 🥰
@@NiyaGaines1 Yes. This was my very 1st miss. I have so many gourmands I LOVE from DUA. I received Strawberry Dream Cake today. Literally just sprayed it. It’s DELICIOUS!! 😍🍰👏👏👏👏👏👏 By the way I absolutely love your hair this way. Extremely stunning on you. 💖👍🏼
Glad someone said it! Sweet Serenade was a huge miss imo!!😒 Disappointed bc I wanted to love it but I have many other Dua gourmands that are fantastic!✨️🩷✨️
Love DUA... It can be a hit or miss with them, sometimes you get a dude but when they get it right there is no comparison! for example the gourmand coquin version of Dua is 100% identical to the real deal from Guerlain (that costed me >$270) I love Dua!
Queen Niya you look so BEAUTIFUL! 🌹 I’m a BIG DUA fan! I love their website. I’ve been so addicted to watching the DUA haul reviews and ordering. I overdid it this month. I’m going to try to give it a break. The watermelon and Casino Royale White Milk are two of the ones I ordered so I hope I like them.
I just bought about 9 Sweet Serenade ❤ Absolute Liberation Another 13 Caramelized Pineapple Creamy Pina Colada Sugar of Garden Love coffee Vanilla Ice Cream ❤ Passion of Green Love Still waiting in a few to deliver
I like Dua and I also like their website when it comes to searching for certain brands/fragrances. You can definitely go down a rabbit hole and you’ll find yourself with a cart full and tons in your favorites. There’s some hit/misses, but I thought the Bianco Latte version from them was almost spot on. I have both, and I think you have to wear it on your skin. I was excited to try Blanche Bete because I didn’t want to spend the coins on the OG and I was a bit disappointed by their version. They over did it with the incense note, so I let it sit for 2 months and the color has changed and it’s so much better. So far I haven’t tried any other Dupes from anyone else, so when I see a Dua haul I get excited.
Thank you for the reviews which I enjoyed immensely, even I don't usually do gourmands. It's great hearing what I don't want as much as I want, though! I also love Dua and am grabby hands for their remakes of the classics which I thought were out of my reach forever. The last fume sounds pretty!
You reviewed some scents I been eyeing and reviewed some I already have. It was great to hear what you thought about them. Circus of the Sun has been a favorite since I got it. DUA needs to restock it so I can buy a backup bottle.
@@rosiel2774 so glad you enjoyed it! I haven’t smelled Circus of the Sun yet. I have a decant of the original and it’s nice…I have a few others in my cart that I want to try🤪
Hi Niya!.....Fun video 😎... Fyi, i ordered Shine of the Watermelon as well and it leans a little masculine on me as well!...But it's tolerable. I also ordered their dupe of Valaya by Parfumes DeMarly. It's called Ethereal Bloom and it's gorgeous!! It smells just like Valaya which is my favorite by PDM🥰... I bought 7 in this last haul!....too many! .smh/lol
@@shecreates365 thanks for watching!! I haven’t smelled Valaya…I hear it’s fresh, not really a freshie 😛But if Dua has a dupe then it might be worth a try 😁
Era of vanilla is more of a fresh vanilla imo. It doesn’t give gourmand, but it gives summer time vanilla. When you want to wear a vanilla in the summer heat without it becoming heavy or too much. And I really like it for that purpose
I have the original simone andreoli malibu party in the bay and it sounds like dua did a good job duping it.with malibu party in the bay I get alot of lime with sugar and coconut with rum.and if you don't like lime or rum you won't like this.like you said its like a lime margarita.so much fun this scent.❤🏝🥥🫒
Kyse is literally the BEST marshmallow perfume you’ll ever find & completely realistic.
@@cindypowell6358 I love that one as well!!
@@NiyaGaines1 Yessssssss!! 😍 I have to BIG bottles of it!! Love, love, love it!!!
That was fun. I love DUA hauls. It's easy to get carried away...lol. I love your hair, too. 💃♥💃
@@IgnoranceAverse thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it!!💚
Oh my goodness! You are absolutely right! I ordered every month since June! This month I order 12. 😱🤦🏽♀️. Addicted!
Hey Niya! We have fallen down the Dua rabbit hole, can someone throw us a rope?🤣🤣🤣💕💕💕❤❤
Nope, place the Dua in the basket.. I said place the Dua in the fking basket! 😂

@@photogenic305 thank you so much💚 I definitely need to give them a break but it’s hard when they have new releases every week 😩
Anxious to hear follow ups on longevity. So many new ones don’t have the same punch as the older ones
I agree!! I can tell you that Sweet Serenade is beautiful and has great performance in my opinion! I can’t put it down❤
Great video!
@@beautifultruth4777 thank you💚

Report back on your thoughts on Absolute Liberation. Unfortunately That’s the only one from YSL that I like.

You can definitely go down a rabbit hole and you’ll find yourself with a cart full and tons in your favorites.

Yes! I’m definitely down the Dua rabbit hole and can’t seem to pull myself out😂 Thanks so much for watching ❤
Snowy Strawberries was a like at first but as it macerates, it's getting soo much better and becoming a love. Same with Caramel Apple Turnovers❤
@@Ayanaxox2 I really like Snowy Strawberries and feel like it will just get better over time 😊
