What Is DUA Night Rosa a Dupe Of?

The original behind DUA Night Rosa is Tom Ford Noir de Noir. It is DUA’s clone of that scent, with rose, patchouli, vanilla and oud as the useful starting point for a comparison. Here is what connects the two and what we would pay attention to when choosing between them.

What connects the two

Rose, patchouli, vanilla, moss and oud connect the two profiles. The reference also lists saffron and truffle, so those are worth checking if they are part of what you enjoy about Noir de Noir. We would use the shorter DUA list as a starting point rather than a full description of the original.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Patchouli, Agarwood, Vanilla, Oakmoss, Rose and Oud. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Tom Ford Noir de Noir lists Saffron, Black Rose, Truffle, Floral Notes, Patchouli, Vanilla and Agarwood (Oud) among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with 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?

Compare the rose against the earthy patchouli, then check the vanilla and oud. We would also look for the truffle-like impression if that is important to your preference.

Which one should you choose?

For a purchase, think about what you want from this pairing: DUA’s take on rose, patchouli, vanilla and oud, or the original fragrance itself. Then compare the actual bottle sizes and current retailer terms. We’d give a sample time to develop before committing to a larger bottle, especially if the balance between the fresher and sweeter notes is what matters to you.
