What Is DUA Candylicious a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Candylicious is a dupe of, the answer is Roja Parfums Candy Aoud. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of fruit, oud, leather and warm woods. Here are the notes worth comparing before you choose a bottle.

The idea behind the comparison

Banana, apple, pear and black currant give this pairing a fruit-heavy starting point, but oud, leather and balsamic woods make up another substantial part of the idea. We would compare how those sides fit together instead of reading the name as a promise of a simple candy fragrance.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Orris Root, Apple, Banana, Pear, Birch, Cedar and Gurjan balsam. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Roja Parfums Candy Aoud lists Bergamot, Grapefruit, Banana, Apple, Pear, Black Currant and Rose 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?

Check which fruit impression you notice first, then compare it with the oud and leather. We would give the warmer wood side time to emerge before choosing a bottle.

Which one should you choose?

If fruit, oud, leather and warm woods is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We’d choose between them after checking the actual bottle size, current offer and return terms, rather than assuming one is automatically the better deal. Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can, and compare them again after the opening has settled.
