The year 2021 gave us Mrs Sultan's Elixir The Dua Brand. A feminine fragrance from the east and floral families. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Mahsam Raza. The fragrance concentration is perfume extract.
Country of origin — the United States. Mrs Sultan's Elixir The Dua Brand unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
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 scent of Mrs Sultan's Elixir evolves as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of The Dua Brand is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Perfume extract supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Ambery, Spicy, Floral and Balsamic. The framework further includes Wood, Whiteflower, Green and Gourmet. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to East and Floral.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the notes arrive together with a voluminous floral mood: Ambergris, Caraway, Cinnamon, Damask Rose, Frankincense, Geranium and Guaiac wood.
The middle and base stages are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Overall Mrs Sultan's Elixir reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best understood through real development.
