British Oud The Dua Brand is officially considered a unisex fragrance, drawing from the wood and water families. Perfumer Mahsam Raza poured every ounce of mastery into this one. The fragrance concentration is perfume extract.
Made in the United States. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
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 scent of British Oud unfolds as a living composition, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of The Dua Brand is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Perfume extract supports the right density and pace of development.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Wood, Spicy and Marine add depth to the backdrop. The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Without strict stage separation the opening appears as one connected movement with a architectural woody mood: Bergamot, Cardamom, Cedar, Jasmine Sambac, Lavender, Lemon and Marine accord.
The heart and base are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Wood and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Green, Aquatic and Aromatic.
Taken together British Oud holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best understood in wear.
