What Is DUA King's Precious Oud a Dupe Of?

DUA King's Precious Oud is a clone of Amouage Interlude EDP. That’s the original behind this pairing and the bottle to compare it with if you’re deciding which version of the scent to try.

What’s the connection?

Smoke, oud and leather are the central notes to explore in this Interlude pairing. DUA also names berries and bergamot, so we’d check how that brighter side sits against the amber, sandalwood and patchouli.

How do the notes compare?

DUA King's Precious Oud lists Bergamot, Berries, Amber, Oud Smoke, Leather, Sandalwood and Patchouli. Amouage Interlude EDP lists Bergamot, Oregano, Pimento Berry, Amber, Frankincense, Cistus, Opoponax and Leather.

Both lists include Bergamot, Amber, Leather, Sandalwood and Patchouli, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA King's Precious Oud, also look for Berries and Oud Smoke. The original’s list also includes Oregano, Pimento Berry, Frankincense and Cistus.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d give both fragrances a similar number of sprays on separate wrists, then come back after the opening settles. Check the parts you enjoy most: the brightness at the start, the balance through the middle and the way the finish feels close to skin.

Which one would we buy?

We’d start with DUA King's Precious Oud if you want DUA’s interpretation of this scent. If the original’s exact balance is what you love, Amouage Interlude EDP is the reference to try.
