About
Mahsam Raza, who trained in Dubai, founded The Dua Brand in the United States in 2016, starting from a mall kiosk before moving online and opening a warehouse in 2020. The house makes inspired-by fragrances: each product page names the perfume it is modelled on, and some releases blend two references with added notes. Alongside these, Dua sells its own original compositions. The brand says its concentrates are compounded in Europe and finished by hand in the United States, and it has positioned itself as a high-concentration, lower-priced alternative to luxury labels.
