What Is DUA Spellbound a Dupe Of?

DUA Spellbound is a clone of Robert Piguet Knightsbridge. 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?

Rose, nutmeg and orris sit beside sandalwood, tonka bean and leather here. We’d compare the powderier floral side against the warmer notes rather than judging it on the rose alone. The balance of leather and sweetness is another useful detail to follow in a sample.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Spellbound lists Rose, Nutmeg, Orris Butter, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean and Leather. Robert Piguet Knightsbridge lists Rose, Nutmeg, Orris, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean and Leather.

Both lists include Rose, Nutmeg, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean and Leather, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Spellbound, also look for Orris Butter. The original’s list also includes Orris.

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.
