Korean Perfumery: How K-Beauty Came to Fragrances
At first, the world fell in love with Korean creams and sheet masks. Then it was the turn of scent, ...
In 2018, The Dua Brand introduced Costarindo — a fragrance that's hard to forget. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the east and floral families. The author of this composition is Mahsam Raza, and that explains a lot. Released in perfume extract.
Brand country — the United States. Costarindo 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
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Costarindo is shaped as a layered story, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of The Dua Brand is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Perfume extract sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Balsamic, Citrus, Spicy and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Wood, Fruit, Gourmet and Floral. At family level the fragrance belongs to East and Floral.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a warm incense mood: Benzoin, Bergamot, Cardamom, Jasmine, Patchouli, Pineapple and Vanilla. In this case 7 notes sound as one coherent layer, creating enveloping resinous depth that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The deeper layers are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Taken together Costarindo reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
