What Is DUA Diamond Cut No. 5 a Dupe Of?

DUA Diamond Cut No. 5 is a clone of Graff Lesedi La Rona V EDP. 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’s the connection?

Heliotrope, neroli and ylang-ylang make this a floral comparison with plenty of detail. Rose and violet are on both lists as well, with vanilla, amber and woods alongside them. We’d check how the floral notes sit against the sweetness, and whether any one flower becomes the main attraction for you.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Diamond Cut No. 5 lists Heliotrope, Ylang-Ylang, Vanilla, Neroli, Bergamot, Turkish Rose, Violet and Sandalwood. Graff Lesedi La Rona V EDP lists Heliotrope, Neroli, Bergamot, Ylang-Ylang, Turkish Rose Oil, Violet, Vanilla and Amber.

Both lists include Heliotrope, Ylang-Ylang, Vanilla, Neroli and Bergamot, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Diamond Cut No. 5, also look for Turkish Rose. The original’s list also includes Turkish Rose Oil.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d give both fragrances a similar number of sprays on separate wrists, then come back after the opening settles. Check the parts you enjoy most: the brightness at the start, the balance through the middle and the way the finish feels close to skin.

Which one would we buy?
