What Is DUA Admiral a Dupe Of?

DUA Admiral is a clone of Xerjoff 40 Knots. That is the original behind this pairing, with sea salt, green notes, cedar and woods as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

Admiral follows 40 Knots through salt, green notes, cedar and woods. DUA presents a short list, while the original also names sea water. We’d compare those salty and woody elements together instead of assuming this is mainly a citrus fragrance.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Precious Woods, Sea Salt, Cedar and Green Notes. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Xerjoff 40 Knots lists Woody Notes, Cedar, Salt, Sea Water and Green Notes among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with each scent’s own labels and structure. A note list describes the idea; it does not tell you the proportions or guarantee that two fragrances develop the same way.

What would we compare on skin?

We’d compare the salt and green notes with the cedar. Short profiles leave plenty of room for differences in the finished fragrances, so a side-by-side sample is useful.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA Admiral if you want to explore sea salt, green notes, cedar and woods in DUA’s interpretation. Choose the original if having that specific reference is the priority. Before ordering either one, compare bottle sizes, the current delivered cost and the retailer’s return policy. A sample is especially useful if one particular note is the reason you are interested.
