What Is DUA Arabic Coffee a Dupe Of?

DUA Arabic Coffee is a clone of Montale Dallachai EDP. That’s the original behind this pairing and the bottle to compare it with if you’re deciding which version of the scent to try.

Why compare these two?

Coffee is in the name, but cardamom, clove and passionfruit deserve attention too. We’d check how much room the coffee gets beside the fruit and spice, then follow the amber and musk later on. If you’re hoping for one particular kind of coffee fragrance, a sample is especially useful here.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Arabic Coffee lists Cardamom, Clove, Passionfruit, Blonde Coffee, Amber and Musk. Montale Dallachai EDP lists Passionfruit, Cardamom, Saffron, Clove, Coffee, Milk, Musk and Amber.

Both lists include Cardamom, Clove, Passionfruit, Amber and Musk, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Arabic Coffee, also look for Blonde Coffee. The original’s list also includes Saffron, Coffee and Milk.

What would we look for in a sample?

A sample gives you room to find out which balance you enjoy. We’d try both with a similar amount, let the opening settle and come back later in the day. Pay attention to the part you most want to wear, whether that’s the first freshness or the warmer finish.

Which one would we buy?

We’d start with DUA Arabic Coffee if you want DUA’s interpretation of this scent. If the original’s exact balance is what you love, Montale Dallachai EDP is the reference to try. Compare the available bottle sizes, shipping cost and return terms before choosing. A sample or smaller bottle can be a good first purchase, especially when one particular note is the reason you’re interested. Current retailer options are shown above. Use the price for the size you actually plan to order, and check the delivery estimate if you need the fragrance for a particular date.
