Exotic 2 The Dua Brand — one of those scents that needs no introduction. A unisex fragrance from the chypre family. It was created by perfumer Mahsam Raza. The fragrance concentration is perfume extract.
Country of origin — the United States: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. 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 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 note pyramid of Exotic 2 is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of The Dua Brand is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Perfume extract keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord architecture rests on these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Citrus and Gourmet forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Fruit, Wood and Alcoholic expand the olfactory volume in the background.
Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a deep balsamic mood: Benzoin, Bergamot, Castoreum, Civet, Coconut, Guaiac wood and Labdanum.
The middle and base stages are read as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Balsamic, Citrus, Animals and Fruit. The palette also extends to Wood, Green, Drinks and Spicy.
Taken together Exotic 2 holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.
