What Is DUA Rockstar a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Rockstar is a dupe of, the answer is Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of rum, patchouli, leather and caramel. Here are the notes worth comparing before you choose a bottle.

The idea behind the comparison

Rockstar follows Tony Iommi Monkey Special through rum, patchouli, leather, rose and caramel. Cinnamon and vanilla are also part of the picture. We’d compare the boozy and woody notes with the sweetness, rather than expecting a plain caramel gourmand.

The reference is Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special, rather than another Tony Iommi edition.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Bulgarian Rose, Leather, Rum, Patchouli, Musk, Sandalwood and Caramel. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special lists Rum, Passionfruit, Bergamot, Geranium, Singapore Patchouli, Cinnamon and Leather 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 look at the patchouli and rum alongside the caramel. The original also lists passionfruit, which does not appear in DUA’s saved catalog profile.

Which one should you choose?

If rum, patchouli, leather and caramel 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.
