Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Formula 003 scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Greenley.
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
Parfums de Marly Greenley is green apple, bergamot and mandarin orange at first, petitgrain and violet at its heart and oakmoss, cedar and amberwood at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- green apple
- bergamot
- mandarin orange
Heart

Base

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.
