If you are wondering what DUA Restful is a dupe of, the answer is Davidoff Relax. The connection is aromatic herbs and a warm woody base, with a few details worth checking in a sample before you buy.

Why this pairing makes sense

DUA points to Davidoff Relax in its 1990 style. Tarragon, mint and lavender give us the aromatic connection, with woods, leather and vanilla adding a warmer side.

How do their notes compare?

For DUA Restful, useful notes to follow include Tarragon, Mint, Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon and Bay Leaf. Davidoff Relax lists Tarragon, Mint, Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon and Bay Leaf among its own notes.

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d check the herbal character against the sweeter base without assuming a current sample proves a vintage formula.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.

Which bottle makes more sense?

Think about which part of this pairing you want to wear most, then compare the actual bottles on offer. DUA Restful gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Davidoff Relax is the reference itself. We’d check bottle size, shipping and return terms before choosing. If you are unsure about the sweeter or woodier side, try a sample first.
