The Dua Brand King's Gambit is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2026. King's Gambit opens with Grapefruit, Cardamom, and Pistachio, settles into a heart of Amber, Peony, Hazelnut, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean, Almond, and Peru Balsam. The Dua Brand's King's Gambit carries a Favourite verdict, an amber-led wear.

A creamy, nutty, amber dream that's a bit of a sweet treat up top. It's properly lovely in colder months but might be too much when the sun's out. Definitely a crowd-pleaser for those who love a gourmand twist.

This scent's depth and sweetness, plus its solid longevity and moderate projection, make it ideal for date nights or relaxed casual wear. It's a bit too heavy and distinctive for a professional office setting, and definitely not one for the gym.

About

Opens with a sweet pistachio hit, sharpened by grapefruit and a hint of cardamom, before settling into a warm, inviting heart of rum, hazelnut, and soft peony. The base deepens the richness with almond, tonka bean, and the plush warmth of Peru balsam, creating a gorgeously smooth, gourmand-leaning embrace. It rounds off into a long-lasting, comfortably luxurious skin scent.
