What Is DUA Matrix a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Matrix is a dupe of, the answer is Xerjoff Nio. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of green citrus, neroli and spiced woods. We would start there, then look at the individual notes before deciding which bottle makes sense for you.

The idea behind the comparison

Matrix follows Nio through bergamot, green notes, neroli and woods. Cardamom, pink pepper and nutmeg add another layer to the comparison. It is worth exploring if citrus is your starting point but you also want the interest of aromatic spice and a woody setting.

The reference is Xerjoff Nio from the Shooting Stars collection.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Green Notes, Cedar, Sicilian Bergamot, Neroli, Pink Pepper, Nutmeg and Haitian Vetiver. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Xerjoff Nio lists Bergamot, Green Notes, Neroli, Cardamom, Pink Pepper, Jasmine and Nutmeg 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 how the green notes and neroli fit around the bergamot. The woodier side deserves a second check once the opening has settled.

Which one should you choose?

If green citrus, neroli and spiced 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.
