What Is DUA Her Majesty’s Oud a Dupe Of?

DUA Her Majesty’s Oud is a clone of Creed Royal Princess Oud EDP. The notes point toward iris, violet and resinous woods. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Her Majesty’s Oud follows Creed Royal Princess Oud. Bergamot, violet, rose, patchouli and iris connect the floral side, with vanilla, sandalwood, benzoin and styrax adding warmer details. The reference profile also explicitly names oud among those woods and resins.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Her Majesty’s Oud lists Tuscan Iris, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Bergamot, Vanilla and Benzoin among its notes. Creed Royal Princess Oud EDP lists Bergamot, Violet, Rose, Patchouli, Tuscan Iris 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?

We’d compare the iris and violet with the woody base. If oud is the reason you are interested, check that impression directly rather than relying on the names.

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 Her Majesty’s Oud if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Creed Royal Princess Oud EDP 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.
