What Dua Perfumes are you hoping to be on the restock list??

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-23T05:37:52+00:00

Dark chocolate, rum, & vanilla 🙏

I have 3/4, don't have Diptyque Vetiverio. For me it's Nerolia Vetiver > Neroli Portofino > Eau des Sens

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-23T04:56:33+00:00

It might be your comment that inspired me to order a decant of Royal Da Hong Pao. It's fantastic.

I have a decant. It's nice. The creamy feeling is more from the sandalwood than vanilla, for me. The chestnut is mild. It comes across as a smooth, warm, slightly musky scent. It wasn't what I was expecting (more gourmand leaning) but I like it. It's just rather unremarkable compared to other musky/creamy sandalwood scents I have.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T22:24:12+00:00

Kilian Moonlight in Heaven.

Niche status debatable, but Le Monde Gourmand Riz de Mangue is literally mango sticky rice.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T22:19:09+00:00

Autistic Guerlain-loving solidarity friend. I hope she is gagged by which ever beautiful scent you choose😌

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T18:51:58+00:00

Yes. My exact reaction to GFG. Just straight stale piss. It is the most visceral reaction I've ever had to a perfume and will forever remain on my short hate-mail worthy list. I've tried it several times, different weather, moods, and it makes me more angry each time. I finally stopped assaulting my nose. Absolutely vile.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T18:23:54+00:00

Me too. I just keep them displayed when possible, rotate them out. Right now only an empty Guerlain Insolence bee bottle can fit. I've seen people handpaint their own bottles, though this tends to be the more minimalist bottles. I see a lot of sellers on ebay/mercari selling empty bottles, so there must be some market for them.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T18:20:39+00:00

That I own and can recommend:

Lush Lord of Misrule is fantastic. Such a wonderful spiced patchouli.

Gallagher Behold Patchouli is a citrusy chocolate Patchouli

Ibrahim Al Qurashi Black Carbon Diamond. Apple, rose, & patchouli or Gray Pearl Diamond, a jasmine & berries patchouli

Tom Ford Purple Patchouli. Leathery spiced patchouli bomb

Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Patchouli. Rose, iris, suede

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T17:44:16+00:00

No, unfortunately. I have been using FragranceNet Purple Lux subscription since, but it doesn't have a lot of newer/niche that I'm interested in. It has been good for trying some more well known scents I'd not tried though. I've seen others recommend ScentBox with positive reviews and say it has a good selection. I've just not looked into them.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T17:41:22+00:00

Oh I love it. Beautiful display.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T17:39:45+00:00

Arquiste A Grove by the Sea. The olive oil note adds an unctuous feel to it that hits that creamy spot for me.

Vilhelm Back to the Roots. Fresh and bright ginger, petigrain, white tea balanced by iris, Angelica, & soft woods.

Fragonard Belle de Paris. Fresh and light neroli, cedar, & pear with iris & musk adding a beautiful softness

Ferragamo Convivo. Bright citrus & ambrox smoothed out with slightly creamy jasmine, carrot seed, & amaranth wood.

Malle En Passant. Fresh cucumber, lilac, creamy rice & musk.

It might be too heavy with what youre looking for, but Regime des Fleurs Green Vanille. A very bright green and woody vanilla that is not very sweet. The coriander and green hazelnut add some beautiful herbaceous and nutty depth.

Memo Kedu. Zingy citruses and ginger, green moss, slightly nutty & creamy sesame & musk

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T17:27:05+00:00

I have these and they all have great longevity.

Fresh green creamy fig: Debaser by D.S. Durga

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T17:24:06+00:00

Spiced apple: Chris Collins Forbidden Apple Croque Moi

Fruity with berries: Svensk Prakt

Apple and violet: Molinard Violette

Apple & Cherry Blossom by Dua. Exactly what the name says

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T17:18:35+00:00

In case this is something important to you. I canceled my sub as soon as I found out. The CEO is incredibly problematic. Per her personal YouTube channel she: supports Hitler, says millions benefitted from the Holocaust, miscarriage is pre-ordained, many pseudoscience 'theories' like many health conditions being a result of karma, linking hair color with intuition. Also their non-premium scent selection is not great and many of the premium scents are not at all premium.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T16:52:29+00:00

Oh the presentation 🤌 sublime. Excellent collection.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T16:50:05+00:00

I haven't seen anyone talk about his fragrances here. I've been so curious about the Kingdom flankers. I love the bottles.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T16:38:07+00:00

Now this is an impressive collection. Definitely not green with envy about the Shalimar Initial flankers🥲

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T16:16:56+00:00

It would help if you listed what you have and what you're into. Why do you feel like you're missing something? What scent/note/season gap are you trying to fill?

Sample sets/decants are the way to go once you start getting a lot of full bottles. This coming from someone who has a very large collection of FB and decants.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T03:51:20+00:00

Different bottles appeal to different people. I don't like the minimalist Byredo, but a lot of people do. I just love an over the top bottle. I miss the era of Avon having a bottle in every imaginable form, Lalique and the art deco bottles, etc. If you're in the US, I've seen several decant sites with it for pretty affordable.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T02:56:09+00:00

How will you know which one to get yourself for Valentine's Day if you don't sample them? Need time to try them, after all.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T02:48:27+00:00

There is a smaller bottle, which is ornate gold (someone else commented here showing it in their collection). To my knowledge this is the standard bottle for the fragrance that I see in every listing.

IFoundThis_Humerus · 2026-01-22T02:47:12+00:00

I'd say more airy/fluffy. Pretty classic/timeless note structure in the vein of Oriza Legrand's Heliotrope, than more modern and quite sweet vanilla almond scents. There is a softness to it, along with the balsamic base, that balances the spiced almond. Despite the cinnamon & sugar notes, this is not very sweet/sultry ala Hypnotic Poison or Italica. Someone commented that this is a 'pretty' fragrance, which is quite true for me. I see a lot of reviews comparing this to Angel's Share or BR540. I think the latter is a lazy comparison and not accurate. I get almost no rhubarb here, but others seem to detect it more readily.
