What Is DUA Fleur d’Elle: Anniversary a Dupe Of?

DUA Fleur d’Elle: Anniversary is a clone of Xerjoff 17/17 Elle Anniversary PARFUM. The notes point toward juicy fruit, flowers and licorice. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Green apple, lychee and red fruits connect these lists straight away. Jasmine and peony bring in the floral side, while licorice gives this pairing something more distinctive than a simple fruity perfume.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Fleur d’Elle: Anniversary lists Green Apple, Lychee, Bergamot, Red Fruits, Jasmine and Peony among its notes. Xerjoff 17/17 Elle Anniversary PARFUM lists Red Fruits, Litchi, Green Apple, Bergamot, Peony and Jasmine among its own notes.

A shared note is a starting point, rather than a promise that both scents will develop the same way. The amount of sweetness, the texture of the woods and the way the notes blend can matter as much as the names on the list.

What would we look for in a sample?

Try to pick out the licorice once the fruit softens. We’d compare how much the floral notes change that sweet impression.

Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can. Compare them again after the opening settles, and check how noticeable each one feels at a normal wearing distance. Let your own skin and usual setting have a say.

Which bottle makes more sense?

We’d start with DUA Fleur d’Elle: Anniversary if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Xerjoff 17/17 Elle Anniversary PARFUM if that exact original is what you want. Before ordering, compare bottle sizes, the delivered price and the retailer’s return terms. A smaller bottle or sample can be the better first step when one particular note is the reason you are interested.
