What Is DUA Predator a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Predator is a dupe of, the answer is Roja Parfums Apex. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of citrus, green woods, leather and tobacco. Here are the notes worth comparing before you choose a bottle.

The idea behind the comparison

Citrus and pineapple lead into a much broader green, woody profile here. Cypress, fir, moss, leather, tobacco and resins all give you something to follow. We would choose a few anchors from that list and compare how the fresher opening connects to the warmer, earthier side.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include juniper berry, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Pineapple, Patchouli, Ambergris and Bergamot. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Roja Parfums Apex lists Orange, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot, Lemon, Pineapple, Cistus Incanus and Jasmine 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?

Check the fruit against the green woods, then compare leather and tobacco as the opening settles. We would pay attention to the whole transition instead of trying to smell every resin.

Which one should you choose?

If citrus, green woods, leather and tobacco is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We’d choose between them after checking the actual bottle size, current offer and return terms, rather than assuming one is automatically the better deal. Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can, and compare them again after the opening has settled.
