What Is DUA Scarlet Warrior a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Scarlet Warrior is a dupe of, the answer is Creed Viking. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of peppermint, pepper and aromatic woods. We would start there, then look at the individual notes before deciding which bottle makes sense for you.

The idea behind the comparison

Scarlet Warrior points to Viking through peppermint, pepper, citrus, lavender and woody notes. Rose is another shared detail. It is a useful pairing if you want to explore a spicy aromatic direction rather than the fruit-and-smoke idea associated with other Creed comparisons.

The original is Creed Viking, rather than Viking Cologne.

How do their notes compare?

DUA lists a top, middle and base structure for this scent. Its listed notes include Calabrian bergamot, Pink Pepper, Sicilian Lemon, Peppermint, Bulgarian Rose, Indian Patchouli and Sandalwood. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Creed Viking lists Pink Pepper, Peppermint, Bergamot, Lemon, Absinthe, Orange and Lavender among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping 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 would compare the peppermint against the pepper and citrus, then revisit the woods and lavender. The reference lists additional spices around that central structure.

Which one should you choose?

If peppermint, pepper and aromatic woods is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We would choose between the two 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.
