Dua Lyrical Review: A Gourmand Oud Dream for the Modern Era

Unveiling the captivating blend of sweet indulgence and enigmatic depth in Dua's 2021 sensation.

By Sofia Chen-Martinez, Fragrance Trend Analyst · · Updated

Sofia tracks the cultural pulse of perfume β€” what TikTok wears, what Hollywood smells like, what auction houses bid on. Based between Paris and LA.

In the contemporary landscape of niche perfumery, few houses evoke as much discourse as The Dua Brand. Their release, Lyrical, serves as a testament to the brand's objective: to capture the essence of high-end perfumery through a lens of accessibility and technical precision. As we deconstruct Lyrical, we observe a composition that balances the delicate interplay between floral elegance and grounded, resinous depth. Historically, 'lyrical' in perfumery suggests a composition that flows with melodic graceβ€”a scent that avoids harsh dissonance in favor of a cohesive narrative. Lyrical by Dua attempts this feat by harmonizing classic floral structures with a modern, performance-oriented finish that has become the hallmark of the house.
