What Is DUA Navigate The Sky a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA Navigate The Sky is Xerjoff Astaral. It is a clone pairing built around spice, florals and resinous woods. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Astaral is the reference. Pink pepper, anise and the maker’s Shamama Accord give us one route into the comparison, with rose, resins and oud adding another.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA Navigate The Sky include Pink Pepper, Anise, Shamama Accord, Amberwood, Labdanum Absolute and Rose. Xerjoff Astaral lists Shamama Attar, Pink Pepper, Anise, Rose, Labdanum and Amberwood 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?

We’d check whether the floral heart or the darker resinous base is what draws us to the scent.

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 Navigate The Sky and Xerjoff Astaral, 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.
