The house of The Dua Brand gifted the world with Poseidon’s Cafe in 2021. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the chypre and fruit families. Conceived and brought to life by perfumer Mahsam Raza. Created within the Poseidon's collection and available in perfume extract.
Brand country — the United States, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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 note pyramid of Poseidon’s Cafe evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of The Dua Brand is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Perfume extract keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Ambery, Fruit, Citrus and Wood. It also reaches into Green, Gourmet, Whiteflower and Earthy / Mossy.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a pulsating fruity mood: Ambergris, Apple, Bergamot, Birch, Black currant leaf, Coffee and Jasmine.
The deeper layers are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Musc, Wood, Amber and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background.
Overall Poseidon’s Cafe sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
