The review
Cheeky Banana Bread scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Oud.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud is saffron and elemi at first, agarwood (oud) and patchouli at its heart and cedar and woody notes at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- saffron
- elemi
Heart

- patchouli
Base
- cedar
- woody notes
Smooth saffron-laced agarwood on cedar and patchouli — polished, never harsh.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
