The house of The Dua Brand gifted the world with Bad Guys in 2022. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the wood and fruit families. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Mahsam Raza. Available as perfume extract.
Country of origin — the United States. Bad Guys The Dua Brand unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Bad Guys is shaped as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of The Dua Brand is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Perfume extract sets the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Ambery, Mineral, Wood and Fruit. The palette also extends to Spicy, Green, Citrus and Drinks. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Fruit and Wood.
In a unified mixed pyramid the fragrance opens as a single chord with a pulsating fruity mood: Ambergris, Aquatic accord, Cedar, Coconut, Dry Wood, Ginger and Guava.
The deeper layers are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Aquatic, Citrus and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Amber and Alcoholic enrich the profile without taking over.
Taken together Bad Guys holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
