Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Door to the Bay scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Oyédo.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oyédo's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $33 it costs 82% less than Oyédo.

Evidence7.0

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

Diptyque Oyédo is yuzu, mandarin orange and lime at first, thyme and tagetes at its heart and woody notes and musk at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Yuzu at full acid strength with thyme underneath, a cold flannel of a citrus.
