Dua Formula 005
Fragrance notes
Character
Sunlight hits the terrace tiles and the air carries a mix of pineapple, cassis, and lemon that feels bright and immediate. Lily-of-the-valley and violet leaf add a green edge to the fruit, while bergamot keeps the top airy. Cardamom and cinnamon sit lightly among the white florals, with jasmine and rose giving the scent a soft, powdery lift. Violet rounds out the fresh side of the blend without pulling it toward candy. Cedar and sandalwood begin to show themselves early, standing next to the amber and musk that will soon take over. Oud is present but quiet, more a shadow than a statement in this setting.
The wood deepens as amber and musk wrap around the remaining fruit. Cedar and sandalwood create a dry, polished surface for the sweetness to rest on. Oud adds a faint resinous weight that keeps the amber from feeling too soft. Cinnamon and cardamom linger in the background, their spice now part of the wood rather than a separate layer. Violet and violet leaf drift through the warmer notes, keeping a green thread alive in the heart of the scent. Rose and jasmine have faded into a gentle powder that coats the cedar and sandalwood.
Amber and musk now lead the composition, with cedar and sandalwood holding them steady. Oud sits underneath, giving the warm accord a slightly dark, earthy floor. The spice of cinnamon and cardamom is almost gone, leaving only a faint memory of heat in the wood. Pineapple and cassis are distant, their juice dried into the amber. Lily-of-the-valley and violet have turned into a soft powder that clings to the skin. Bergamot and lemon no longer sparkle, but their freshness lives on in the green trace of violet leaf. The scent feels like a warm wooden room with a window open to a garden, where the air is thick with amber and the trees outside are still casting shadows across the floor
