What Is DUA Strength of Wind a Dupe Of?

DUA Strength of Wind is a clone of Boadicea The Victorious Hanuman. That is the original behind this pairing, with citrus, flowers and warm woods as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

Orange blossom and citrus give you one entry point, with magnolia, cyclamen and neroli adding floral detail. The reference also names osmanthus and black currant, while DUA lists blood orange. We would compare those fruit and flower impressions alongside the warmer wood and musk side.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Orange Blossom, Blood Orange, Sandalwood, Bergamot, Cyclamen, Magnolia and Vetiver. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Boadicea The Victorious Hanuman lists Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Lemon, Black Currant, Osmanthus, Neroli and Magnolia among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with 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?

Compare the brighter citrus with the flowers, then check the vetiver and woods. We would look at which floral details matter most to you rather than assume the lists are identical.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA Strength of Wind if you want to explore citrus, flowers and warm woods in DUA’s interpretation. Choose the original if having that specific reference is the priority. Before ordering either one, compare bottle sizes, the current delivered cost and the retailer’s return policy. A sample is especially useful if one particular note is the reason you are interested.
