The Dua Brand Black Ink Sport is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025. Black Ink Sport opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Cypress and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Vetiver, and Nutmeg. The Dua Brand's Black Ink Sport carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit perplexing. Why copy a scent that's already readily available and more affordable than your dupe? A bit of a head-scratcher, to be honest.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

Its woody, aromatic and fresh spicy composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, woody-aromatic character makes it perfect for casual wear and sports, as it feels invigorating. The lack of heavy sillage means it won't offend in an office setting, but it's not quite special enough for formal events or a date night.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and grapefruit, giving it a proper fresh-out-the-shower feel. As it settles, green cypress and a hint of lavender bring in an aromatic, almost forest-like quality. The base is all about earthy vetiver and cashmere wood, softened by a touch of warm nutmeg, creating a robust, woody dry down that lingers nicely. It's a masculine blend, pushing toward a verdant, almost rugged aura.
