What Is DUA Chypré X a Dupe Of?

DUA Chypré X is a clone of Roja Parfums Chypre Extraordinaire. That is the original behind this pairing, with moss, fruit, florals and leather as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

Peach, plum, florals, moss and leather make this a layered comparison. The lists also include aldehydes and several balsamic notes, so there are plenty of details beyond a simple floral opening. We would choose a few anchors, such as fruit against moss and leather, to make the comparison manageable.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Orange Blossom, Rose de Mai, Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Heliotrope and Patchouli. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Roja Parfums Chypre Extraordinaire lists Aldehydes, Bergamot, Peach, Ylang-Ylang, Plum, Tuberose and Jasmine 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?

Compare the brighter fruit and floral side with the mossy, leathery impression. We would also revisit the warmer base instead of letting the first few minutes decide the result.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA Chypré X if you want to explore moss, fruit, florals and leather 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.
