Beauteous Delight

Dua Fragrances Beauteous Delight opens with a moderate to a strong projection of sweet, leather, and gourmand accords. The opening is intense and very pleasant. The combination of leather and gourmand notes comes across as slightly boozy. The opening brings a prominent leather accord, white, clean, and very projecting, followed by cherry, caramel, cacao, milk, tonka bean, vanilla, and sandalwood. These tones combine themselves creating an exquisite gourmand scent. The floral and mint notes had very little participation. The fragrance is linear, the prominent notes come up all at once upon application and continue into the dry-down. Once Dua Fragrance Beauteous Delight has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a very sweet, white leather and gourmand (cherry, caramel, cacao, milk, tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood) fragrance with very faint floral accords. The fragrance feels aromatic, comforting, creamy, delectable, delicious, exotic, exquisite, gourmand, heavy, high-quality, intense, invigorating, inviting, leathery, masculine, mature, milky, modern, natural, rich, sweet, syrupy, warm, and very pleasant.

This leans a little feminine but I'm wearing it. It is absolutely stunning.

Smells amazing, cinnamon vanilla cherry, but doesn’t last on me at all.

I’ve never had Feve Delicieuse by Dior or have smelt it, but this smells strongly of Cherry Dr Pepper. it’s sexy, sweet, and sensual. I do get a bit of the mint, lavender, and tonka but upon first spray, this literally smells like Cherry Dr Pepper Soda. I’m not mad because my boyfriend LOVES this on me and it is very sexy. I would not be surprise if this smells exactly or very very similar to the Dior perfume. I have tons of DUAs that smell exactly what they are cloning. Colognes as well because my boyfriend and I just love DUA’s formulas, longevity, and sillage. One of our favorite houses. Especially Dua Originals smells exactly what they’re named. Mahsam has such a wonderful nose.

Update after maceration: This literally smells like a mature Cherry Dr.pepper. It’s the soda without all the carbonation and more Cherry sweetness! I get why this smells so syrupy. I do get some of the mint and lavender upon first spray, but then that syrupy Cherry comes out with a hint of caramel, sandalwood, vanilla and jasmin sitting in the background and it smells so delicious! You guys might be thinking “Cherry Dr.Pepper, Ew” but this scent smells so sweet and yummy! I can see myself wearing this with THE CLASSIC “black dress”and red lipstick, sippin on some wine! Very Sexy. I can see a man pulling this off as well.
