Liquor, Chocolates & Vanilla: An Indulgent Oriental by The Dua Brand

The Dua Brand knows how to make an entrance. In 2023, it brought out Liquor, Chocolates & Vanilla, a fragrance that brings together boozy warmth, gourmand sweetness, and woody depth in a single bottle.

It’s an Oriental Vanilla composition made for both men and women.

Master perfumer Mahsam Raza created this scent, and his creativity is clear from the very first sniff. The composition brings together a generous list of notes: chocolate, mango, cocoa, saffron, and rum, with cypriol, vanilla, pepper, orris root, ylang-ylang, and oud in support.

Worn, Liquor, Chocolates & Vanilla comes across as a warm, spicy adventure. The accords are described as warm spicy, sweet, woody, cocoa, fresh spicy, earthy, yellow floral, vanilla, tropical, and oud. It’s a many-sided profile that offers something new with every wear.

The rum note gives a boozy lift, while chocolate and cocoa deliver a rich, sweet side. Mango adds a subtle tropical fruitiness that stops the composition from becoming too heavy. Saffron and pepper contribute a lively spiciness that keeps the blend intriguing.

Vanilla is a central element, softening everything and adding a creamy texture. The woody and earthy base, made up of oud, cypriol, and orris root, roots the fragrance and lends it a refined character. It’s sweet, but not sickly, thanks to those counterbalancing notes.

This is not a quiet perfume. It makes a statement and works well for evenings, the colder months, or any time you want to be enveloped in a comforting, spicy glow. As a unisex release, it suits anyone with a taste for confident gourmands.

Those who lean towards sweet, spicy, and slightly boozy fragrances, particularly fans of gourmands with a woody, oriental base.

Liquor, Chocolates & Vanilla is a confident and indulgent creation from The Dua Brand. For anyone who prefers rich, warm, characterful scents, it’s well worth sampling.
