What Is DUA Great Life a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA Great Life is Davidoff Good Life. It is a clone pairing built around fig leaf, citrus and aromatic greenery. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Fig leaf and tea make this an interesting alternative to a straightforward citrus scent. The Good Life connection also brings lavender, floral notes and soft woods into the comparison.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA Great Life include Black Currant, Amalfi Lemon, Pelargonium, Sandalwood, Grapefruit and Bergamot. Davidoff Good Life lists Fig Leaf, Bergamot, Lavender, Melon, Grapefruit and Tea among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

Look for the green fig-leaf character after the first citrus burst. Then see whether the tea and woods keep the scent feeling fresh enough for the way you plan to wear it.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for DUA Great Life and Davidoff Good Life, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
