What Is DUA Leedys a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Leedys is a dupe of, the answer is Parfums de Marly Sedley. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of citrus, aromatic herbs and woods. We would start there, then look at the individual notes before deciding which bottle makes sense for you.

The idea behind the comparison

Leedys follows Sedley through citrus, lavender, rosemary, geranium and woods. The original catalog also names mint, while DUA lists incense and several woody materials. It is a useful pairing if you want to explore the relationship between fresh citrus, herbs and a woody base.

The reference is Parfums de Marly Sedley.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Bergamot, Incense, Sandalwood, Lavender, Rosemary, Grapefruit and Patchouli. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Parfums de Marly Sedley lists Lemon, Mint, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin Orange, Lavender and Rosemary among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping 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 would compare the herbal side against the lemon and grapefruit, then check the woods. Mint is a useful detail to look for on the Sedley side.

Which one should you choose?

If citrus, aromatic herbs and woods is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We would choose between the two after checking the actual bottle size, current offer and return terms, rather than assuming one is automatically the better deal. Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can, and compare them again after the opening has settled.
