How long does your perfume last?

DUA fragrance is made to last up to 6-8 hours, sometimes even better than originals.

Why is your inspired scent more affordable compared to the original luxury scent?

Our inspired fragrance is budget-friendly because we skip the luxury brand markups and fancy packaging that come with the original. Instead, we focus on what really matters...the juice inside the bottle.

Is your inspired fragrance safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, our inspired fragrances are safe to use. We prioritize using high-quality, skin-safe ingredients. However, we recommend a patch test before full application if you have sensitive skin.

Where can I buy your inspired fragrances?

You can purchase our inspired and original fragrances directly from our website: <a href="https://theduabrand.com/">www.TheDuaBrand.com</a>

Is your fragrance cruelty-free and vegan?

Absolutely! Our fragrance is proudly crafted to be both cruelty-free and vegan.

Where can I send my fragrance requests?

You can email us your fragrance requests for Original Blends, Inspirations and Hybrids to: <a href="mailto:creators@theduabrand.com">Creators@theduabrand.com</a>

What are the ingredients used in the fragrance oil?

The main ingredients used in our fragrances are: Alcohol Denat, Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrances), Citral, Citronellol, Coumarin, Eugenol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Limonene, Hydroxycitronellal, Isoeugenol, Linalool, 4-Hydroxyisohexyl-3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Alpha-Isomethyl, Ionone.

How does Jazz compare to similar fragrances?

It shares the lounge-like warmth of Replica Jazz, while also appealing to those who enjoy Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford or the textural depth found in Le Labo creations. As a Maison Margiela Jazz Club dupe, it feels smoother and more intimate than many louder tobacco perfumes.

FAQ FAQ

Inspired by the untamed spirit of Governors Island, our creation Isle of Governors captures the salty breeze of weathered docks and the quiet mystery of abandoned buildings reclaimed by nature. This is where urban grit meets wild green, a fragrance as intriguing as the island’s hidden corners. The heart of it smolders with sacred Incense and sticky Resins, like the last whispers of a forgotten ritual. Ambroxan hums underneath, like a modern pulse beneath ancient places. Dry Cedarwood splinters underfoot, while white Musk clings like sea fog to your skin. And just when you think you have figured it out, Vetiver pushes through, earthy, restless, and alive, like weeds cracking through concrete. This duality between warm and fresh is exactly what makes this perfume so special and why we worked diligently to release our inspired expression. Isle Of Governors is our take on this 2018 release by Bond No. 9, and you will save hundreds of dollars with our inspired expression!

Better Than the OG DUA really hit this one on the head. This smells identical to the OG but projects more and lasts way longer. If you love clean, smooth, unisex scents, this is perfect! It also layers so well with other fragrances. It’s an ambroxan lovers dream😍. I immediately purchased a back up bottle.

I absolutely loved Bond 9 Governor’s Island, but didn’t want to pay the price. Someone suggested this, and it is an exact match!

Isle of governor's smells exactly same to the original governor's island. At first when I received the package I noticed the cologne didn’t last as long as the original. However I macerated the cologne for two weeks in my closet and WOW! It lasts a little longer than the original now lol not by much longer but definitely lasts a little longer in my opinion. Governor's island was my favorite cologne and now isle of governor's is my favorite because its cheaper and the same thing!

Smells exactly like the original! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because it seems to be a bit weaker than the original but that may get better with letting it macerate. Only time will tell but I am pleased well worth the money. Thanks DUA!

Oh my love! I think warm and fresh describes this scent perfectly. If you enjoy ambroxan this is a no brainer. I smell all of the notes. I love the incense in this. I am awful at reviews, but this one I will not be without. Great job, well done!
