What Is DUA Fly Far Away a Dupe Of?

DUA Fly Far Away is a clone of Xerjoff Birdie. DUA names that fragrance as its inspiration, so it’s the bottle to sample alongside this one if you’re interested in how the scent was interpreted.

What makes these worth comparing?

Fly Far Away takes on Xerjoff Birdie. DUA’s list includes patchouli, soil tincture, grass, vetiver and sand alongside apple, lavender, sea notes and pepper. Those earthy and grassy details are the reason we’d investigate this one. If you’re curious about Birdie, compare how those notes sit together on skin rather than assuming the apple or lavender will tell the whole story.

What notes should you look for?

DUA lists Indian Patchouli, Soil Tincture, Grass, Vetiver, Lavender, Sand, Apple and Sea Notes.

How would we compare samples?

If you have samples, give each its own wrist and let the first spray settle. Come back once the notes you enjoy most are easier to pick out. Smelling them twice gives you a better idea of whether the opening is what drew you in or whether the finish is the part you want to wear. Check both on a day when you can keep the rest of your routine unscented. Use a blotter for a first impression if you’re sampling several scents at once. Save a skin test for the two you’re choosing between.

Which one would we try first?

We’d try DUA Fly Far Away if the notes above sound like what you want from this scent. If you’ve already worn Xerjoff Birdie and have a particular part of it in mind, start with a small sample so you can compare that detail before buying. Check the size and format shown on the retailer page, and use the delivered price for the bottle you’d actually order. That’s especially helpful when one listing is for a travel size or sample and another is for a full bottle.
