What Is DUA The Centaur Constellation a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA The Centaur Constellation is Creed Centaurus EDP. It is a clone pairing built around tobacco, warm spice and balsams. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Centaurus is the reference. Cardamom, cinnamon and tobacco give us the spicy connection, with benzoin, tolu and vanilla adding a sweeter resinous base to compare.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA The Centaur Constellation include Cardamom, Cinnamon, Tobacco, Pink Pepper, Geranium and Sandalwood. Creed Centaurus EDP lists Cinnamon, Tobacco, Cardamom, Pink Pepper, Sandalwood and Patchouli among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d check whether the spice stays prominent alongside the vanilla and balsams.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for DUA The Centaur Constellation and Creed Centaurus EDP, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
