Ok hear me out, I love your content in general but listening to your distain for fragrances cracks me up😂Lol !!! Watching your brain try to make sense of the notes coming off the tester strip gives me life! I still haven’t bought a Dua yet and I know there are some good ones out there but GIRLLLLL this was hilarious! 😂😂😂
I sat my box of duas that I was lettting "age" on the table yesterday & told my homegirl to have at it! She left 2... there was 18! I'm so happy to be at the end of my fragrance junkie journey... now, I'm just a fragrance lover. 😂😂
@rekanova3757 she loved all of them! I gave her a stack of tester strips & she went to town! She left with so much (food/ gifts/ fragrances) that she left her purse!😂
My worst Dua purchases is Butterscotch Sauce. Smells like a masculine jalapeño gourmand. I sneeze after two sprays and my pup exits the room whenever I spray it.
I like videos like this. Not because they put me off of buying the perfumes, but they show how everyones nose is different. And not every perfume is soooo great to each of us. I actually hate Burberry Goddess 😅 But it seems to be very popular. The 👃 knows. Lol
I’ve dodged lots of bullets because I didn’t start buying till I watched your reviews! The one that has me puzzled right now is The Favorite, I’m getting chocolate and dryer sheets 😫. I know you aren’t big on chocolate, but I usually am and this one is the in the drawer of shame for now.
I try to be real careful when I pick which Dua to try and I have fell down the rabbit hole 😂 but so far everything I’ve ordered after watching and reading reviews and taking forever to make decisions I can say that all the ones I’ve ordered have worked out I may have 25 or more Thanks for sharing your sniff experience with us Vania 😊
Chilllleeee I have definitely learned my lesson and just stopped buying from dua. My worst purchases were "Sweetie Miss Congeniality"🤢🤢🤢🤢 and "Marshmallow Vanilla"🤮🤮🤮🤮 like how did they mess up marshmallows and vanilla??? After that I was done. One that I was not sure about and revisited that has gotten better is "Belgian Choco Cherry Truffle". The ones that I have and love are "Alexandra Short", "Hey Sweetie" (the original one)and "Princeless Princess". For the pricepoint I'm over them. DSSC has been getting all of my coins over the past year❣️ Gourmand lovers dream house
My worst DUAs are: Caramelized Pineapple Dream- smelled like burnt plastic on my skin! Tonka Bean Addiction- like a damn spice rack Creamy Pina Colada- all saffron on my skin Boardwalk clouds (can’t remember the name)
Taking hey sweetie out of my cart ASAP, I was already on the fence about it but this comment confirmed it for me, at the very least I'll wait for the sample size to restock
Another hate for me was the Pistachio gelato I know I've said it before on your channel , but it smells like pistachios rolled in dirt to my nose.Disgusting 💩😳
Lol I’ve heard it’s gross I’m so glad I didn’t get it. I was trying to choose between that one and pistachio cream delight and that one I got and I love
I think Dua has grown too fast and they don’t have enough people in the lab working/they’re rushing. I’m to the point, I’d rather just have less fragrances and buy the original 🤷🏻♂️ unless it’s something that isn’t available outside of a body spray. Like some of the SOL De Janeiro and BABW scents.
I have to agree. I think they need to slow it down and focus on the quality and not so much the quantity of how many they keep releasing. I only have 2 outta my collection that are bad and that’s Dark Casino elixir which is too masculine and Milkylicious was not good and I prefer the OG Blanche Bete.
I absolutely hated Dua Carnival. The notes made it seem like it would be perfection in a bottle. I absolutely hated the smell but oddly enough I got a few compliments but I personally hated the whiffs I got while wearing it...also dua strawberry daiquiri was a major juicy pear were major scrubbers for me.
So for me, No I haven't learned my lesson just yet but it's ok. My worst buy so far were strawberries by the Poolside, diamond cut no 1 (vault scent) and 😢 Blessed. I was so hurt and sad about Blessed
That Banana Hamster Cage Wonderland is theeee worst scent I’ve ever smelled. It reminds me of farm animal bedding mixed with some animal fur and droppings. It’s super animalic in the worst possible way. The only place for that perfume was the garbage because that’s where it belong. I’ve never tried any Dua strawberry scents because they are really hard to get right in perfumery imo. They always smell chemically. Have you tied the Strawberry Pound Cake one?
Dua is very hit or miss. They have some absolute bangers but many of them are underwhelming even after letting them sit for a few months. My unequivocal worst Dua putchase was Citrus of the Sun. It smells like Lemon Pledge the whole time. Devil's Vanilla and Vanilla Overload are the most boring and not worth the money, even on sale.
DUA absolutely needs to slow it down with the releases; they are totally doing quantity over quality, and the latest Faraway Iris Fields vs. Apricot Mallow conspiracy is proof. They totally mixed the batches up and I'm just like, does no one smell the final product after it comes from the lab or they just pour it into a bottle - where the quality control? I don't understand how you can bottle the wrong fragrance, but that was 100% a screwup. So if you get one that doesn't smell anything like the notes or the OG, it's very likely something went wrong in production. Either way I have 70+ DUA's and love them all, but you definiltey have to research, read reviews of the DUA versions plus their OG's. Don't buy into the hype. Thankfully I haven't had any outright gross blind buys, but the really hyped up ones I ended up selling cause they were underwhelming to me (French Macaroons, Her Loyalty for example). BTW I absolutely LOOOOVE your videos and reviews, especially the DUA ones. Please do more!
I haven’t had any bad blind buys either but I only have 11, well 12 now. I don’t buy stuff that is out of my comfort zone with notes I’m unfamiliar with. I just stick with what I know I like and it’s worked out well. But I 100% agree, they’re busting out new releases left and right and barely re stocking the ones people want .
Yesss...I too did not like Strawberry Cream & Marshmallow! Wanted to love it but it's just too artificial smelling😮💨👎🏽 I do however like Snowy Strawberries. Not gonna lie the opening is strong but love the mid and dry down.
I’m convinced you got a wrong bottle of pistachio cream delight. They either mixed it wrong or gave you straight up the wrong fragrance or mis poured it, however you say it.

That was very nice of you! She may love them.
@rekanova3757 she loved all of them! I gave her a stack of tester strips & she went to town! She left with so much (food/ gifts/ fragrances) that she left her purse!😂
Don’t you be wondering what are they smelling that you aren’t? 😂 it’s like… I wanna love it how you do
@RZALUCKI6 Chiiiile! I was looking at her like, "You REALLY like that!?" There were a few "likes" in the box, but I was fine parting with them. 😂
My worst Dua purchases is Butterscotch Sauce. Smells like a masculine jalapeño gourmand. I sneeze after two sprays and my pup exits the room whenever I spray it.
Not the pup leaving omg haha 😂
Jalapeño gourmand 😂😂😂😂
Not jalapeño😭
Pineapple cream filling was one of my first purchases 2 years ago, it STANKS! Smells like car air freshener or aerosol spray lol. I was pissed!
That pineapple one was terrible 😭 but the screaming at the end just took me out because whyyyy 😭😂😂😂😂😂
I like videos like this. Not because they put me off of buying the perfumes, but they show how everyones nose is different. And not every perfume is soooo great to each of us.
I actually hate Burberry Goddess 😅 But it seems to be very popular.
The 👃 knows. Lol
yea I dont get the Burberry goddess hype at all. Lol
not the black ice air freshener 😂😂😂
Omg the original Kayali vanilla 28 is a hate for me...and carmex is the perfect description of it 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nobody else ever says it so I thought it was just my nose.
No girl you are spot on I've never smelled Dua's version but the original yesss 😂@@vaniamickelle
Duas and Don’ts ~thank you*

Ima send you a decant of my snowy strawberries because we have to get to the bottom of this 😂

Hi! Are you able to share what DSSC is?
@@erickacabil2146I'm like, whose that??
I would like to know too
I'm so sorry!!!! 🙃 Dirty Soul Soap Company
My worst DUAs are:
Caramelized Pineapple Dream- smelled like burnt plastic on my skin!
Tonka Bean Addiction- like a damn spice rack
Creamy Pina Colada- all saffron on my skin
Boardwalk clouds (can’t remember the name)
My worst Dua for the year are: classic pineapple, hey sweetie, miss congeniality, and be in love. whew chile 😬
Taking hey sweetie out of my cart ASAP, I was already on the fence about it but this comment confirmed it for me, at the very least I'll wait for the sample size to restock
Another hate for me was the Pistachio gelato I know I've said it before on your channel , but it smells like pistachios rolled in dirt to my nose.Disgusting 💩😳
That Pistachio Gelato makes my stomach turn. I threw it in the trash! Just stank! 😂🤦🏾♀️
Lol I’ve heard it’s gross I’m so glad I didn’t get it. I was trying to choose between that one and pistachio cream delight and that one I got and I love
Yes I definitely agree with you about the Dua love don’t be shy & Burberry Goddess it hasn’t changed for me
Thank you for this!!!
My worst Dua purchases is Candy Of Creamy Vanilla 😩
Omg. It’s SO bad.
I think Dua has grown too fast and they don’t have enough people in the lab working/they’re rushing. I’m to the point, I’d rather just have less fragrances and buy the original 🤷🏻♂️ unless it’s something that isn’t available outside of a body spray. Like some of the SOL De Janeiro and BABW scents.

The slander that Banana Caramel Wonderland got? Roto-rooter cleaner? Turpentine? Baby, they will never financially recover from this😂😂😂❤❤
I absolutely hated Dua Carnival. The notes made it seem like it would be perfection in a bottle. I absolutely hated the smell but oddly enough I got a few compliments but I personally hated the whiffs I got while wearing it...also dua strawberry daiquiri was a major juicy pear were major scrubbers for me.
So for me, No I haven't learned my lesson just yet but it's ok. My worst buy so far were strawberries by the Poolside, diamond cut no 1 (vault scent) and 😢 Blessed. I was so hurt and sad about Blessed
Caramel apple turnovers was one of the worst for me. Smelt like cigarettes and a nursing home!!! 🤣 got rid of that one so quick
I got a sample of that and ya it was gross
That Banana Hamster Cage Wonderland is theeee worst scent I’ve ever smelled. It reminds me of farm animal bedding mixed with some animal fur and droppings.

My worst Dua purchases were Creamy Blend of Walnuts, Devil of the Sweets and Dolce Vita
Fortune sweets for me on my skin was very floral. Is it the same for you?😮😊
Dua is very hit or miss. They have some absolute bangers but many of them are underwhelming even after letting them sit for a few months. My unequivocal worst Dua putchase was Citrus of the Sun. It smells like Lemon Pledge the whole time. Devil's Vanilla and Vanilla Overload are the most boring and not worth the money, even on sale.
Duas strawberry snowflake is terrible. Immediately I decluttered it
Vanilla 28 the OG smells like Carmex to me!! No brown sugar, no vanilla, no sweetness.
DUA absolutely needs to slow it down with the releases; they are totally doing quantity over quality, and the latest Faraway Iris Fields vs. Apricot Mallow conspiracy is proof. They totally mixed the batches up and I'm just like, does no one smell the final product after it comes from the lab or they just pour it into a bottle - where the quality control?

Yesss...I too did not like Strawberry Cream & Marshmallow! Wanted to love it but it's just too artificial smelling😮💨👎🏽
I do however like Snowy Strawberries. Not gonna lie the opening is strong but love the mid and dry down.
Mine smelled too artificial at first too. After a few weeks I went back to smell it and I loved it. I layer it with a marshmallow perfume
I’m convinced you got a wrong bottle of pistachio cream delight. They either mixed it wrong or gave you straight up the wrong fragrance or mis poured it, however you say it.
Galaxy Ethereal. That is all.
Exotic Vanillac Spring smells like that pink amoxicillin for kids 🤢🤢I’m going to let it sit and hopefully in a few months it’ll change
I sent an offer to somebody on eBay for the banana caramel wonderland I'm so glad she didn't accept lmao sounds horrible 🤣😩😭
I love Be in Love with G
worst dua was pure nectar gold. it smells nothing like erba gold by xerjoff
Do Dua perfumes last long?
Some do
All mine do. I’ve got 11. So I can’t speak for all of them but the ones I have have great longevity
@ Thank you, I have been searching for perfume or body oils that has longevity.
I sold my banana wonderland it was horrible
I always wait for reviews before purchasing Duas. After seeing you get burned with duds, I am playing it safe.
Allofem! Aint ever purchased one thag didnt end up smelly like curry.
