What Is DUA The Conqueror of UAE a Dupe Of?

DUA The Conqueror of UAE is a clone of Xerjoff Alexandria Orientale (UAE Exclusive Edition). That is the original behind this pairing, with apple, leather, incense and oud as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

Green apple and leather give this pairing a different entry point from a purely resinous oud scent. Rose, coriander, woods, tobacco and vanilla offer other things to compare. We would keep the apple and incense in view while checking how the heavier materials shape the rest of the scent.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Madagascar Vanilla, Tobacco Leaf, Frankincense, Green Apple, Sandalwood, Coriander and Cedarwood. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Xerjoff Alexandria Orientale (UAE Exclusive Edition) lists Green Apple, Incense, Basil, Leather, Virginian Cedar, Bulgarian Rose and Coriander 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 apple against the incense and leather, then see which part of the wood and tobacco side becomes clearest. Those contrasts are worth more than a long list of shared notes.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA The Conqueror of UAE if you want to explore apple, leather, incense and oud 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.
