What Is DUA Legacy Of Brompton a Dupe Of?

DUA Legacy Of Brompton is a clone of Ex Nihilo Brompton Immortals. The notes point toward rose and saffron with soft resins. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Brompton Immortals is the reference. Rose, saffron and pink pepper give us useful comparison points, with vanilla, olibanum and musk providing a different texture underneath.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Legacy Of Brompton lists Saffron, Pink Pepper, Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine Absolute, Lisylang and Vanilla among its notes. Ex Nihilo Brompton Immortals lists Saffron, Pink Pepper, Bulgarian Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Lily and Jasmine Sambac 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 check whether the rose or the sweeter resinous side becomes the main attraction.

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 Legacy Of Brompton if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Ex Nihilo Brompton Immortals 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.
