What Is DUA Sky of Amber a Dupe Of?

DUA Sky of Amber is a clone of Ex Nihilo Amber Sky. 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.

What kind of scent is it going for?

Coriander, nutmeg and geranium give this amber pairing a more aromatic side to explore. Vanilla and tonka bean are part of the picture too. We’d compare how the spices sit against the sweetness, then check the cedar and warmer base notes once the opening settles.

What would we look for in a sample?

Try a similar amount of each on separate wrists and give them some time. Come back to both after the first burst has settled, then check them again later. We’d focus on the notes that made you interested in the pairing in the first place.
