What Is DUA Saddle Maker a Dupe Of?

DUA Saddle Maker is a clone of Byredo Sellier. That’s the original behind this pairing and the bottle to compare it with if you’re deciding which version of the scent to try.

Why compare these two?

Sellier is the original behind Saddle Maker. Black tea, leather, tobacco leaf, birch and moss appear alongside cashmeran in the lists. We’d compare the tea against the leather and woods as the samples settle. If the leather note is the main draw, think about whether you enjoy that darker surrounding combination just as much.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Saddle Maker lists Cashmeran, Black Tea, Leather Accord, Tobacco Leaf from Madagascar, Birch Tar and Oakmoss. Byredo Sellier lists Cashmeran, Black Tea, Leather, Tobacco Leaf, Birch and Oakmoss.

What would we look for in a sample?

A sample gives you room to find out which balance you enjoy. We’d try both with a similar amount, let the opening settle and come back later in the day. Pay attention to the part you most want to wear, whether that’s the first freshness or the warmer finish.
