What Is DUA Desire II a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Desire II is a dupe of, the answer is Xerjoff Cruz Del Sur II. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of mango, guava and tropical flowers. We would start there, then look at the individual notes before deciding which bottle makes sense for you.

The idea behind the comparison

Desire II is the Cruz Del Sur II pairing. Mango, guava, pineapple and apple blossom explain the tropical direction, while violet leaf, dried fruits and woods bring more detail. The original catalog also names milk, making the texture around the fruit worth paying attention to.

The reference is Xerjoff Cruz Del Sur II, keeping it separate from Cruz Del Sur I.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Mango, Pineapple, Guava, Floral bouquet, Apple Blossom, Violet Leaf and Black Currant. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Xerjoff Cruz Del Sur II lists Mango, Guava, Pineapple, Apple Blossom, Black Currant, Exotic floral notes and Violet Leaf among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping 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?

We would compare the mango and guava against the floral and woody notes. A tropical fruit opening does not by itself tell you how either scent develops afterward.

Which one should you choose?

If mango, guava and tropical flowers is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We would choose between the two 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.
