First Perfume Haul of 2024|First Dua Brand Purchase|Burberry Goddess Dupe?

[@maddiek963]

Watching this in August… 2024 was the year of Dua, huh? ❤❤❤❤

[@photogenic305]

Yesssss for me too! 🙌🏽💃🏽

[@sade-kemibrown635]

POST IT! We want to see it all. Your family is so precious and don't be hiding scents from us lol.

[@vaniamickelle]

😂😂😂 okay

[@SooooRaven]

Vania you can’t spray too many DUAS in one space. You’ll choke yourself out. They are strong lol. Goddess within Her was so good I immediately bought a backup.

[@vaniamickelle]

I really couldn’t tell one from the other 😂

[@debbiebirt6535]

I ordered 2 of the Goddess Within Her I was telling Vania mine didn’t come with the wooden tops like my other ones I ordered from them How about yours? I liked the fragrance though so it’ll make up for not having the wooden tops

[@SooooRaven]

@@debbiebirt6535 one of mine came with the silver top and the other a dark brown top. They were having supply issues with the caps and boxes.

[@debbiebirt6535]

@@SooooRaven Oh OK Gotcha 👍🏾 Thanks for letting me know Do you know if the boxes are coming back?

[@Universallove78]

Oooh yes, Dua just got you in the rabbit hole. I own 20 Duas and they're bombs, I love every single one, it's a love for the brand

[@vaniamickelle]

I was literally on the website all last night just looking at new perfumes 😂

[@orchestratedreviews]

I got lucky to find someone who sells 2ml decants so I have been having fun trying out DUA.

[@nicolelee2278]

Goddess Within Her is THAT GIRL! So good. Other sweet DUA's you should look into are: Puffletuft (HOS Sillage dupe), Princeless Princess (Kilian's Princess clone), and Caramel Delight (a dupe for Lira).

[@vaniamickelle]

Ohh I didn’t know they did house of sillage dupes. Cause I don’t plan on buying those cupcakes anytime soon! 😂😂

[@simona5491]

I love DUAs! Yes it’s best to let them macerate for minimum 2 months to 3 months. It’s worth it and the scent lasts ALL DAY. If you love sweet 14. White Milk/ Bianco latte, Puffletuft/ HOS Hufflepuff, Desire II/ Xerjoff. It’s best to not spray too many at once lol. If it smells light it definitely has to sit. I just got TriNeighborhood/ Bond no 9 Tribeca and it’s still sitting for almost a month. I also got Cotton Candy de DUA and I can’t wait for it to reach its full potential. I love buying originals but if it’s not absolutely necessary I will buy DUA. It’s very easy to go down the rabbit hole I have 18 already! DUA also has weekly sales at least 30% off every weekend. If something you like is sold out just be patient they will come back. They had an Escapade gourmand dupe ( A gourmand escape) it sold out so fast I’ve been waiting !

[@toya526]

Nice haul! Duas are strong and will get you hooked! Thankfully they have sales more often than not.

[@vaniamickelle]

Yes the couple times I’ve been on their site before I purchased they always had some sale going on. I’m fully invested in Dua!

[@melissap7369]

Yes please to the 2023 perfume haul and vlog! That merch is 🔥!

[@vaniamickelle]

Thank you! ☺️

[@LoSoNatural]

Goddess Within Her 1000/10!! Dua we want the boxes! Casino Royale Cotton Candy Nights definitely gets better with time and it’s something you would appreciate more smelling by itself to really get all the layers.. I wanted the Bananas Foster too 😂 I do think you would love their Cotton Candy De Dua

[@simona5491]

I just got cotton candy de dua im waiting for it to sit. But off rip its smells great already !

[@vaniamickelle]

I can buy a dust bag off amazon baby, give me the box! I can already tell I love the way they do cotton candy! Even if the casino Royale cotton candy never changes, which I know it will, I'm all in on the cotton candy in this one! It's so good!!!

[@simona5491]

@@vaniamickelle They just changed it to the Dust bags lol they change their packing often. I’m tired of the boxes they take up space but good for letting them sit. But as a first time purchase yea bags aren’t nice.

[@melanienolan498]

Cotton Candy Dua is sooo good!

[@maddiek963]

I literally two weeks ago bought the full size of Burberry Goddess. And while I ADORE the fragrance and cannot stop wearing it, it does not last like it should for a perfume of that price. For $33 I will absolutely be picking up Goddess Within Her. The problem is getting me to not drop a stack on all the other Dua perfumes I will absolutely need to have.

[@MagnifiscentsbyVern]

I was about to say Banana Foster!!! I'm at the bottom of my bottle waiting for them to restock!!! You will not be disappointed! I made a post looking for a bottle on Dua resell!!!! Be in love with Pistachio Gelato is another one that I absolutely love and have a backup of. I had to let this one sit for about 2 weeks before I got to love it, bought a 10 ml first, then bought 2 full size. Angelic Elixir is another one. It has to sit, but when it does, BABY, it's fire!!!!!

[@mobettafumes6477]

It would be nice to see the rest of the 2023 hauls plus anything that you filmed for content from 2023.😊

[@pravis4777]

❤DUAS are solid! Some may not smell like what you expect but letting sit for at least a month or longer and they start smelling hella better. Their Tiffany & Co are delicious. Along with YSL Libre intense smells delicious. I have 51 Dua bottles. I have 5 out of the 51 that i didn't like much. AND about 95% of the DUAS are Beast Mode🎉❤

[@EmilyrGause]

I would love to see the scents from 2023 and the vlog. I love to hear your thoughts on all the things.

[@vaniamickelle]

Okay thank you! 🥰

[@KellyJelly9976]

I tried Dua this black friday. I bought dupes for Jo Malone's scarlet poppy, a pistachio gelato scent, and the brand new Bianco Latte dupe. I'll say first off the Bianco Latte dupe is AMAZING. I love it!!!! The scarlet poppy one is ok, but the fail was the Pistachio gelato scent. I want to get rid of it. I can't explain - it just annoys me. :) Wish I could return or even exchange it. Anywho thanks for the video.

[@Kellergirl]

Duas for me are hit or miss. Some are great, and some are awful.

[@Tanae19]

Dua’s devotion is good too 🥰

[@vaniamickelle]

Does it smell exactly like the original? Cause I don't think I'm a fan of the original devotion

[@Miana_Techelle]

Hey Vania! I have Duas Bananas Foster and it is so freaking good. Love at first and got even better a few weeks later. I love their dupes for Rouge smoking, Velvet tonka and Italica... its hard not to get sucked down the Dua rabbit hole 😅

[@spiritcloud5883]

You are about to head down the Dua trap and am here for it.

[@vaniamickelle]

Yes I feel it coming! 😂😂

[@curlychavelita]

I have 12 bottles and I love every single one. Their hybrids and originals are great.

[@ladyoracle27]

The "Goddess Within Her" is back in stock. I ordered a bottle last night. I bought the dupe for "Devotion" it is called "Her Loyalty." I actually like it better than the original. Its dries down creamier than the original which I had a sample of. Dua is having a birthday sale. I got free shipping also.

[@vaniamickelle]

I’ll have to add that to my list because I’m not crazy about the original devotion

[@ladyoracle27]

I was not either, the original is sharp to my nose, so I tried Dua to give it a chance, $ 33 VS. $100+ dollars, yes. The other day at Marshall's, I found another scent by the makers of vanilla potion it is "Strawberry Icing" it gives sparkling strawberry. I am going to layer that with the strawberry body Glaze by Canvas Beauty. The perfume was $14.99.

[@b3d4zzl3R]

Your "how ever" is my new thing.

[@maddiek963]

I do want the see the haul from 2023 but if you want to open up your stuff that’s okay too.

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

A beautiful pink, sweet scent that I've been loving for years that's available for under $20 (it was my signature scent until I started exploring Middle Eastern brands) is Cabotine Rose. It's a transparent fruity floral that is versatile enough for any occasion or age. If you don't have Berries Weekend Pink Edition, it's a love (Burberry Weekend inspired). Summer Forever (Xerjoff Muse) is very similar to Berries Weekend Pink with a little bit extra, but the glitter from the ill-conceived bottle sheds fine pink glitter every time I touch it. Ooh, and the Dapper version of Hufflepuff is so similar in the air to the OG and everyone compliments me on it. I was reluctant to try Dua after I tried Dapper clones, and they go by the names of the inspiration scents.

[@gyuransabel]

Hmm. Are you an employee of dapper?

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

@user-dv7ph3mt8x No, just very happy to find them. Are you an employee of Dua? I've heard mixed reviews on Dua, even though my fragrance buddy is a diehard Dua girl. Though the Dua and Dapper versions of Bianco Latte are very similar. I'm surprised to encounter a fragrance review troll, usually scent channels are chill.

[@nikkig3218]

Dua did that with Goddess Within Her. It smells amazing! I wear it alone, or I layer it with BBW orange ginger lotion, and it amps up the ginger note in Goddess Within Her.

[@TressesOfAlexis]

Now wayment because I also avidly dranksssss my water PACKET FREE. Why would you share this Starburst foolishness because now I have to try it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@vaniamickelle]

Girl it has become a major problem! I have only been able to find it at Dollar Generals, but if you can't find it, let me know. I got 2 backup boxes, I'll send you a box!

Great haul. I’ve fallen down the Dua rabbit hole. They have so many and run good sales. I like the quality of the juice and the presentation is awesome. I’ve been getting into the originals more than the dupes. I wanted Goddess but I ended up getting FBO’s version first so I didn’t need both lol. Thanks for the video and have a great day. 😊

[@lucibellasandverse]

I just tried Dapper a couple weeks ago, and I want more from them. I rarely order dupes, but now I’m interested in branching out and trying more brands. I’ve been looking at Dua recently. I always see their stuff on my timeline and I want to try some of their originals. I’m a gourmand lover, so pistachio cream delight, Belgian choco truffle, creamy coquito, and cloud of caramel vanilla has my attention. 😌

😂😂😂😂😂 2005 hilarious! Okay thanks 🥰

[@YahairaLeePerez]

I feel like I’m the only one who hasn’t had a great experience with Dua. I got 4 of their dupes. Burberry Goddess, Pas Ce Soir, Bianco Latte, and Valentino BOR and none of them (with the exception of Goddess) smelled like the originals, which I would be okay with if they smelled good but I just wasn’t a fan of the smells (and I’m not a perfume snob)! I’ve let them sit for about 2 months and I just grabbed them to smell them and still not comparable to the OGs and the smell is meh. I want to give it another round, maybe their original line. Their bottle quality is great though! They’re so pretty! But I got these to travel, because they’re the perfect size, and I’m not sure how I feel yet.

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Goddess Within Her I swear on everything is better than the original to me now I have both! Im trying to get Her Loyalty but in the meantime I got a dupe of Akro Bake coming from Dapper. I looooved their Bianco Latte dupe its not as spicy as the original ❤

[@vaniamickelle]

I have to agree. Dua's version of Goddess is thumpin! My dapper list is longer than a CVS receipt.

Great haul! I would suggest avoiding DUA's original creation called Carnival De DUA. It sounds great on paper but it was absolutely terrible and never got better even after letting it sit for months. It had this really odd sharpness, no sweetness whatsoever. Not sure if I got a bad one or what! I have heard there are a lot of good ones from DUA, though. Looking forward to seeing what else you pick up from them!

[@vaniamickelle]

Wait I think I was looking at the carnival one.

[@melanienolan498]

Dua definitively has a DNA that can be sharp and ruin some fragrances. Don’t know what I mean??? Just keep purchasing! 😅 I have around 30 and about 6 of them were horrible. No maceration could save them. I’m not talking about a scent preference or opinion, but a distinct DNA. If you read a lot of reviews, you’ll see. Made me slow up a little. But when they are good, they are GOOD!

I believe you still receive DUA full-size fragrances in the box, UNLESS they are from their newer DDL/DUA Designer Line. I checked & the Burberry Goodess dupe is from the DDL line. Those are the fragrances that retail for $33. I recently picked up some of the DDL fragrances for the first time & they all came in the velvet bag. Previously, all the fragrances I purchased for $55-$65 came in a box. I really don't mind not receiving a box since they are running the DDL's on special. If you are purchasing DDL's & have a cart of $150 or more, you receive 33% off your order. That makes the DDL's around $22 each, which you cannot beat for the quality. Previously, the DDL's have been excluded from any discounts. The DDL fragrances I picked up that I am in love with are Choco Milk Treat, Spiced Gourmand, Night Potion, & Infamous Ginger. The regular DDL's that I can't live without are Chocolate Casino Royale, Pistachio Gelato, & 22 Shades of Dulce Solaris. I love watching fragrance hauls & I'm excited to see what you pick up from DUA in the future. ❤

[@vaniamickelle]

Yes! I have so many on my list now I want to try from them! And I only wanted a box cause everybody else had boxes 😂 But I’m very happy with my purchases and I will definitely be going back for more!

[@DSpurlin215]

I wore Goddess yesterday and it has gotten a little better after 3 months but that lavender is still screaming at me. I pair it to cut that lavender. Dua was an absolute miss for me and I wanted to love them so badly. My body chemistry just didn't click with it at all. I spent a small fortune on their products, buying 6-8 full bottles and numerous samples. I threw/gave them all away. It was as if there was some rancid oil or weird cumin/curry situation.
