What Is DUA Churchill a Dupe Of?

DUA Churchill is a clone of Bortnikoff Sir Winston. 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.

What kind of scent is it going for?

Green tea and tuberose make this a distinctive tobacco comparison. Ambergris, oud and vanilla give you more to follow as it settles. We’d check how the flowers and tea sit alongside the tobacco, particularly if you’re interested in a tobacco fragrance that leaves some room for other notes.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Churchill lists Tuberose, Tobacco, Green Tea, Ambergris, Oud and Vanilla. Bortnikoff Sir Winston lists Green Tea, Tuberose, Ambergris, Tobacco, Agarwood (Oud) and Vanilla.

Both lists include Tuberose, Tobacco, Green Tea, Ambergris and Vanilla, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Churchill, also look for Oud. The original’s list also includes Agarwood (Oud).

What would we look for in a sample?

Try a similar amount of each on separate wrists and give them some time. Come back to both after the first burst has settled, then check them again later. We’d focus on the notes that made you interested in the pairing in the first place.

Which one would we buy?

We’d start with DUA Churchill if you want DUA’s interpretation of this scent. If the original’s exact balance is what you love, Bortnikoff Sir Winston is the reference to try.
