Hey Sweetie!
by The Dua Brand
Hey Sweetie! by The Dua Brand delivers a bold, sugary gourmand experience that closely mirrors the beloved Oriana by PDM, though with a more pronounced and vibrant character. The opening is dominated by bright citrus and marshmallow notes, creating an immediate, cheerful intensity that some users find overwhelming—particularly its initial sharp, synthetic quality reminiscent of 'burnt hair' fixative. Over time, this resolves into a softer, more balanced composition featuring a radiant orange blossom center, complimented by whipped cream, raspberry, and musky ambrette, resulting in a sweet, floral-gourmand scent that lingers impressively long. It's especially favored in summer and for daytime wear, though a few note that it can be sticky and overly sweet due to its floral and fruity accords.
