First Lady The Dua Brand — a fragrance that speaks for itself. This is a feminine fragrance rooted in the east, fruit, and floral families. Perfumer Mahsam Raza left a distinct mark on this composition. A perfume extract — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Country of origin — the United States. First Lady The Dua Brand — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
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 composition of First Lady unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of The Dua Brand comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract sets the depth and body this composition needs.
Without strict stage separation the opening appears as one connected movement with a juicy exotic mood: Ambergris, Apricot, Benzoin, Bergamot, Cardamom, Clove and Iris.
The inner phases are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Musc, Wood, Powdery and Amber add depth to the backdrop.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Ambery, Fruit, Balsamic and Citrus. The palette also extends to Spicy, Floral, Whiteflower and Wood.
Overall First Lady sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
