What Is DUA Mystique a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA Mystique is Wesker Eau De Mystique. It is a clone pairing built around citrus, plum and warm resins. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Green mandarin and blood orange sit with dried plum, honey, labdanum and styrax. We'd compare the fruity and resinous sides together; reading only the citrus notes would miss a substantial part of the idea.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA Mystique include Green Mandarin, Blood Orange, Rose de Mai, Sandalwood, Heliotrope and Dried Plum. Wesker Eau De Mystique lists Green Mandarin, Neroli, Blood Orange, Rose de Mai, Dried Plum and Labdanum among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

Check how much sweetness you get from the plum and honey. Then see whether the resinous notes feel comfortable rather than too dense for you.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for DUA Mystique and Wesker Eau De Mystique, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
