What Is DUA Serpent a Dupe Of?

DUA Serpent is a clone of Gucci The Voice Of The Snake EDP. 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?

Oud, saffron and patchouli keep DUA’s list short and clear. We’d focus on the balance between those three rather than expecting the number of notes to explain everything. If you’re particular about how saffron or patchouli sits around oud, that is the part to follow as the sample settles.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Serpent lists Agarwood, Saffron and Patchouli. Gucci The Voice Of The Snake EDP lists saffron, oud and patchouli.

Both lists include Saffron and Patchouli, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Serpent, also look for Agarwood. The original’s list also includes oud.

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.

Which one would we buy?
