What Is DUA Exotic 3 a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Exotic 3 is a dupe of, the answer is Roja Parfums Parfum De La Nuit No 3. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of spiced leather, resins and woods. Here are the notes worth comparing before you choose a bottle.

The idea behind the comparison

Leather is only one piece of this pairing. Cumin, cardamom, saffron and balsamic materials give you several other things to compare, with rose and a long wood list adding detail. If you are drawn to the reference, it helps to know which of those elements matters most to you.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Benzoin, Cumin, Bergamot, Cardamom, Leather, Rose and Amyris. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Roja Parfums Parfum De La Nuit No 3 lists Bergamot, Rose, Artemisia, Leather, Incense, Cumin and Amber 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?

Watch the relationship between cumin, leather and the sweeter resins. Small changes in that balance can matter more than the number of notes shared by the two lists.

Which one should you choose?

If spiced leather, resins and 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.
