What Is DUA Tangerine Leather a Dupe Of?

DUA Tangerine Leather is a clone of David Jourquin Cuir Mandarine. 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’s the connection?

Mandarin orange, lavender and pepper sit beside leather, tobacco and patchouli here. We’d compare how much freshness you get around the leather, rather than assuming every leather fragrance will have the same balance. The amber is another detail to follow after the opening settles.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d give both fragrances a similar number of sprays on separate wrists, then come back after the opening settles. Check the parts you enjoy most: the brightness at the start, the balance through the middle and the way the finish feels close to skin.
