The review
On paper, Dua Formula 003 is a strong bet if you want Greenley for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Greenley's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $60 it costs 84% less than Greenley.
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
The original opens on green apple, bergamot and mandarin orange, turns to petitgrain and violet, and settles into oakmoss, cedar and amberwood. That is the brief Dua Formula 003 is working from.
Top
- green apple
- bergamot
- mandarin orange
Heart
- petitgrain
- violet
Base
- oakmoss
- cedar
- amberwood
For the one who wants a bright, dewy green-apple and citrus rush over clean amber woods, a refreshing summer daily-wear with easygoing versatility and lift.
