What Is DUA Midnight Rendezvous Attar a Dupe Of?

DUA Midnight Rendezvous Attar is a clone of Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L’Homme Le Parfum. The notes point toward anise, lavender and warm resins. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

DUA names La Nuit de L’Homme Le Parfum in its earlier 2010 style. That distinction matters: the anise, labdanum and vanilla comparison belongs to Le Parfum here.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Midnight Rendezvous Attar lists French labdanum, Fruity Notes, Patchouli, Bergamot, Lavender and Vanilla among its notes. Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L’Homme Le Parfum lists Pepper, Anise, Bergamot, Fruity Notes, Lavender and French labdanum 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 follow the anise and resinous sweetness rather than judge this by a different La Nuit concentration.

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 Midnight Rendezvous Attar if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L’Homme Le Parfum 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.
