I'm also glad they throw in free samples once in a while with your order. Their catalog of fragrances is mind boggling.

Been a DUAholic for over a year now and Mahsam Raza is the man! Best clone house in the game but I don't like like to call DUA that since they make their own inspired expressions not to mention their hybrids, tribrids and even quadbrids! Lol They just dropped the Initio Rehab finally which is called Action Nova and now I'm just waiting on that Initio Musk Therapy. Mahsam has it in the works and I can't wait! Absolutely great house or clone house whatever you want to call it to get into. They drop new releases every weekend along with great discounts. Make sure you check them out! FYI, Steven Azure Supernova 2.0 is easily one of their top 3 summer frags hands down as well!🤘
