What Is DUA Speechless a Dupe Of?

DUA Speechless is a clone of Xerjoff More Than Words. 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?

More Than Words is the original here. Fruit and flowers sit alongside resins and woods in the lists, with DUA naming rose and ambergris too. We’d look at that mix as a whole instead of expecting one ingredient to explain everything. If the richer side is what interests you, keep following it beyond the first spray.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Speechless lists Olibanum, Labdanum, Ambergris, Exotic Fruity Notes, Precious Woods, Agarwood, Taif Rose and Bulgarian Rose. Xerjoff More Than Words lists floral notes, fruity notes, labdanum, amber, olibanum and oud.

Both lists include Olibanum, Labdanum and Floral Notes, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Speechless, also look for Ambergris, Exotic Fruity Notes, Precious Woods and Agarwood. The original’s list also includes fruity notes, amber and 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?

We’d start with DUA Speechless if you want DUA’s interpretation of this scent. If the original’s exact balance is what you love, Xerjoff More Than Words is the reference to try.
