What Is DUA The Savage Attar a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA The Savage Attar is a dupe of, the answer is Dior Sauvage Parfum. The connection is citrus and sandalwood with warm resins, with a few details worth checking in a sample before you buy.

Why this pairing makes sense

This guide uses Sauvage Parfum, rather than another Sauvage edition. Bergamot and mandarin connect the brighter side, with sandalwood, elemi and frankincense giving us the warmer, woodier details to compare.

How do their notes compare?

For DUA The Savage Attar, useful notes to follow include Mandarin Orange, Elemi resin, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Bergamot and Olibanum. Dior Sauvage Parfum lists Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Elemi, Sandalwood, Olibanum and Tonka Bean among its own notes.

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d look at the sandalwood as carefully as the citrus. Check how much sweetness the vanilla and tonka add around the resins.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.

Which bottle makes more sense?

Think about which part of this pairing you want to wear most, then compare the actual bottles on offer. DUA The Savage Attar gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Dior Sauvage Parfum is the reference itself. We’d check bottle size, shipping and return terms before choosing. If you are unsure about the sweeter or woodier side, try a sample first.
