FAQFAQ
The Guide is a scent that takes you on a sensory experience. It begins with the clean charm of Pears, a compass pointing to the woods of Hazelnuts where Olibanum whispers through the trees like the advice of a Sage. Rare blooms like Osmanthus serve as a link between worlds, while Saffron and Rose reveal undiscovered routes. A fragrant lamp named Jasmine Sambac lights your path and guides you to the Vanilla and Sandalwood sanctuary. Trailblazer Akigalawood leads you to the center of adventure, where Labdanum and Ambergris unite to create a connection as strong as a trusted guide. The Guide serves as your reliable travel companion, a scented guide, and a compass in the world of fragrances!
DUA fragrance is made to last up to 6-8 hours, sometimes even better than originals.
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.

So close to the original! Amazing and last a long time!
This is almost identical to the OG! I own both and I would say it is 90% alike.
The Og has a more prominent Turkish rose scent and a more powdery smell to it compared to The Guide. This is a great dupe if you were interested in buying the real thing, this is definitely one to buy. Not everyone will like this scent profile and not really blue buy safe as it’s potent, but I love it!
There is a little dirty note in the beginning but just wait 20 minutes and it gets so much better. Once this fragrance dries down and blooms it’s a little floral with incense and it’s so sexy… I need a BUB ASAP! I have a sample of the OG and I purchased The Guide and they are Identical! So happy with my purchase as so will you!!
First of all, I can’t believe how accurate this fragrance is. 95% possibly more. And yes, I have the OG. It keeps getting better and better - and I love all the creamy, floral, nutty, lactonic notes together with just a touch of resin to add sophistication and spirituality. The value is unparalleled. I have made such a big dent already! I will definitely be back for more!
This is amazing.im not one who's good at describing,and identifying separate notes,but I know when it smells good,and this smells good good,and its very long lasting.i sprayed it on me over 10hrs ago,and it's still performing.its a very comforting, sweet scent.i can smell the pear, and the hazelnut,but that's where it stops for my nose detector🤣,all the other added notes makes The Guide a very interesting fragrance,I've never smelled anything like it. All I know is that ,this it definitely worthy to be owned,and qualifies for a bub
This fragrance smells very close to Guidance long lasting and the Sillage is Omazing, I’m so happy I bought this fragrance and much cheaper then the original!
I don't even want to share how good this is because I want it all for myself. People ask me what I'm wearing everywhere I go. Customer service is great too. The beans are cool.
Great fragrance. Let it macerate a few weeks. I keep it in the refrigerator for about a week or two. I wish they offer 10 ml option so you can try out a variety and settle down on your long term choices.
I've heard all the buzz about this being a dupe for Guidance. I do not have the original. I do not need the original. Thank God I got two bottles of this perfume. I love it!!! I can't stop smelling myself!!!
When I first sprayed it I thought I smelled pickle juice. I had heard that about Guidance as well. I waited for the dry down and definitely was not disappointed!!!
I understand now why this one's sold out. I will always have a backup bottle. This is going to be my everyday perfume and I have a lot of really nice perfumes. This is so different and so captivating. Thank you Dua! Great job!
Bring this back ASAP PLEAAAASSE! I got a few uses out of it and dropped it on the floor when it fell out of my purse when in a hurry. I’m desperate because this is my favorite.
🍷 Floral, floriental divas this is a must.
It’s a classic woodsy, floral, dry down with a soft saffron leather base, but the opening is what snatched me up 🤩 The opening is this bright, juicy, pear with sweet, honied osmanthus quickly following. The honey note isn’t too forward like I found with 421 Femme it trickles in the background adding the perfect sweetness. This isn’t a floral that’s headache inducing nor an overly sickly sweet rose like a lot of TF rose fragrances. It’s exceptionally well blended and wearable the first day. All notes play beautifully with one another. It’s not too sweet, not too bright and not too woodsy or floral just an easy wear.
The Best Guidance Dupe
No other dupe comes close to The guide. This is so intense and very strong; just as BEASTMODE as the original guidance. I’ll say it is back up bottle worthy. I get compliments whenever I wear it.
Stunning!
This is so, so beautiful!! It is elegant and sophisticated and feminine. I have found my signature scent. Please dont ever stop making this!!
This is such a beautiful fragrance and my first from the DUA brand. I wore it in public for the first time and a woman trailed me until she finally asked what perfume I was wearing. She kept lingering around as if she was trying to enjoy the fragrance as long as she could. I smelled the original instore quite a while back and it seems very similar based on what I remember. The Guide is such a stunner. It is a sweet Floral with a grown woman vibe. It really stands out. Thanks DUA!
This perfume snuck up on me. Initially, I felt she was a little too sharp and strong but once that dry down hit…. Wooo! I’ve gotten so many compliments on her that I had to buy a BUB! She’s a keeper for sure.
NEED THIS BACK ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please restock asap!!! I would love to add this baby to my 40+ collection. I’m a loyal customer and would greatly appreciate it!!!! Would also love to be notified when it will be back!!
Stunning!
This fragrance is stunning!!! It is about a 99% match to the OG for a fraction of the cost. Two sprays are plenty because babayyyyy....you will FILL the room! It lasts on skin for at least 8 hours and forever on clothing with lovely sillage. I have worn this fragrance twice and each time, I've received several compliments and have been asked to write down what I'm wearing. I won't be without this one!👌❤️
