What Is DUA Atmospheric a Dupe Of?

DUA Atmospheric is a clone of Xerjoff Dhajala. 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?

Dhajala is the original behind Atmospheric. The listed orange and orange flower come with galbanum, pepper, jasmine and rose, plus amber, resin and vanilla. We’d use those contrasts as a guide: citrus against greenery, then flowers against the warmer notes. It’s a more useful comparison than treating the entire profile as just another sweet amber scent.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Atmospheric lists Orange, African Orange Flower, Galbanum, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Jasmine, Rose and Amber. Xerjoff Dhajala lists Orange, Galbanum, African Orange Flower, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Jasmine, Rose and Amber.

Both lists include Orange, African Orange Flower, Galbanum, Bergamot and Pink Pepper, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample.

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.
