What Is DUA Ocean of Dua a Dupe Of?

DUA Ocean of Dua is a clone of Roja Parfums Oceania. That is the original behind this pairing, with citrus, aromatic herbs, flowers and woods as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

Ocean of Dua is the Oceania pairing. There is a broad citrus opening to compare, followed by aromatic herbs, flowers and a woody base. Both profiles are long, so we’d start with those groups instead of trying to identify every listed note at once.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Juniper Berries, Jasmine Sambac, Litsea Cubeba, Ylang Ylang, Grapefruit, White Musk and Rosemary. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Roja Parfums Oceania lists Grapefruit, Lavender, Lemon, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Lime and Rosemary 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?

We’d compare the citrus and herbs first, then revisit the flowers and woods. DUA names orris, while the original profile uses iris among its labels.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA Ocean of Dua if you want to explore citrus, aromatic herbs, flowers and woods in DUA’s interpretation. Choose the original if having that specific reference is the priority. Before ordering either one, compare bottle sizes, the current delivered cost and the retailer’s return policy. A sample is especially useful if one particular note is the reason you are interested.
