Dub is a remix between Quasi una absurdia and Bluer Skies (Whenever You're Around).

It features abstract floral notes supported by rhythms of sandalwood, patchouli, citrus, aldehydes, and musk.

Throughout the musical canon — particularly in the genres of house and other electronic music — songs are often modified into a derivative work, sometimes by their original authors, sometimes by someone new, and the result is called a remix. This stems from the process of production mixing after recording, when multiple iterations of aural adjustments are made to a song to finesse the experience of its playback, with a preferred result chosen for pressing and publication. Typically, remixes differ materially from their original stock yet still maintain a similar identity between them.

In house music parlance, a dub is a type of remix wherein most, if not all, of its vocal tracks have been removed. This contrasts an acappella, which is a naked vocal track stripped of its instrumental backing.

Remixes can also be exponential, which is to say as intentional mashups of two separate songs further edited or re-instrumented into a new work that is greater than the sum of its parts. 

Dub follows this music logic but through a perfume lens: A new perfume stripped of its starring vocal tracks but nevertheless ready to dance.

It is a parfum de toilette, a high-concentration formulation of lightness and transparency.
