The review

Tien Ma scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Nisean.

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

At $55 it costs 82% less than Nisean.

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 Nisean is apple, plum and saffron at first, rose, orange blossom and cinnamon at its heart and oud, amber and patchouli at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Juicy apple and plum melt into warm oud and amber for an addictive fruity-woody signature.
