I finally have Dua’s arriving today. I ordered over two weeks ago…I did order the narco oasis dupe even though I have the Dapper on because you mentioned the Dua one was better. Editing to add that I have Amore Cafe from them arriving and a larger decant of the OG arriving today so will be fun to compare. Also ordered a couple originals (one is a bubble gum because even though I’m in my 40’s a guilty pleasure of mine is a bubblegum smell without tuberose) against my better judgement because their originals have disappointed me a couple times but we’ll see.
@@kara8911 Kara!!! I want Amore Café soo bad, the Dua one is sold out! 😭. I ordered a sample of the original to see if I splurge or not 😂. Please come back and tell me how close they are 🙏🏼😉
@@roseayalaperfumeaddict5059 so far I’d say it’s about 80%-90% the same with the opening being the biggest difference. Dua is a bit more slightly bitter dark chocolate coffee with a heavier amaretto note at first and gets sweeter in a bit (it’s still really sweet just heavier overall). The OG is sweeter, softer, more brown sugar coffee and the amaretto, though really present, is a bit softer. I do get a decent bit of ambergris in both as they settle down. I’m going to wait a bit and see when the weather starts to cool down a bit what I think. Dua’s always throw me off too because they change more with time than some other brands I think. I want to hear what you think when you get your decant of Amore Cafe too. So far I prefer the original but Dua will scratch that itch for a while. Ha!
You are the DUA queen! I need to snatch up the goddess dupe! Especially since you mentioned it last longer! I’m so upset the desire is still sold out!!! I’m going to need a DUA collection video 😉
You know how Dua fragrances are pricier than a lot of other clone brands / dupes, do you in general think they are much better than other brands that you've tried? Wondering cos you do have a lot!
@@dr.claire.perfume Hey Claire! I never pay full price, I always wait for the sales, which are practically every weekend 😂, and I pay from $30-$40, but the juice is so concentrated (extrait), that it’s worth it. Alexandria’s are great too, but you pay a little more $42, also worth it. Dua and Alexandria are my top 2 😉💕
@@roseayalaperfumeaddict5059 👍 I think Dua came to the UK and then gave up again 😂 Dossier are here but crazily expensive. We have Perfume Parlour, but I don't think they are that popular. Rosa Salas and Pocket Scents seem better 😊
Rose 🌹, your demonstration hand is wonderful. May I say that I have a Dapper of Hibiscus Mahajad and I blend with a bit of Aquolina Gold. Yes, please do a comparison if you can get a hold of the OG of 🌺 Hibiscus Mahajad (Jamaica!).
I need to do an updated dua video
@@OpinionatedScents Hey Tera! Yes you do 😉🥰
You are definitely the Dua queen. I wouldn’t mind seeing your collection. I’m sure it’s impressive 💜
@@Naturallyliz41 I wouldn’t say I’m the queen, you’re sweet 😂💕
Buying duas are fun to explore! I need tocheck out your picks
@@thebet816 It’s very addicting also 😂I hope you find one you love!
Good morning, beautiful! You've got quite a collection going there! Great selections! 😊🎉
@@VeronicaSays Hey love! Gm! You know how it is with Dua 😂

I think Dua needs to sponsor you already!
@@Demi1369 That’s too funny!😂 I was just organizing my Duas. I have 44! 😂

Love this video !! Thank you!
@@linacortez4837 Thank you! 🙏🏼🥰
Ani is a top 2 probably for me for life. It’s one of those “feels like me” scents.
@@kara8911 Hey Kara! Yes! Definitely 💯🥰

@@dr.claire.perfume sorry about that 😕. Dossier never really attracted me 🤷🏼♀️
I love your top 10. Hmmmm I have no idea what my 10 would be. The last time I did video for these, it was my top 20😅😅

@@tammyroxanne. French defense 😉
@@roseayalaperfumeaddict5059 Aha!! Knew it! Lol 😂
Man Rose, I’ve been itching to try the Hibiscus Mahajad. The one by Khadlaj is calling me 😅
