What Is DUA High Seas a Dupe Of?

DUA High Seas is a clone of Creed Erolfa. That is the original behind this pairing, with citrus, melon, herbs and woods as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

High Seas is the Erolfa pairing. Citrus and melon meet herbs, flowers, musk and woods in the two profiles. The detailed lists differ, so the useful comparison is how those fresh and woody parts work together rather than whether every note name matches.

The original is Creed Erolfa, separate from Millésime Impérial.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Sandalwood, Coriander, Bergamot, Rosemary, Cyclamen, Jasmine and Violet. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Creed Erolfa lists Lime, Bergamot, Melon, Green Notes, Lemon, Violet and Caraway 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?

We’d compare the melon and citrus with the herbal middle. DUA names cumin and moss; the original profile uses caraway and oakmoss among its labels.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA High Seas if you want to explore citrus, melon, herbs and woods in DUA’s interpretation. Choose the original if having that specific reference is the priority. Before ordering either one, compare bottle sizes, the current delivered cost and the retailer’s return policy. A sample is especially useful if one particular note is the reason you are interested.
