What Is DUA Water of Arabia a Dupe Of?

DUA Water of Arabia is a clone of Creed Silver Mountain Water. If you are trying to place the scent, that is the original to start with. The comparison centers on green tea, black currant and citrus, rather than an unrelated fragrance with a similar name.

Why this pairing makes sense

Water of Arabia is the Silver Mountain Water pairing. Green tea, black currant, bergamot, mandarin and sandalwood make the connection clear on paper. Those notes give the comparison more character than a general fresh-scent label, especially if tea and fruit are what interest you.

The reference is Creed Silver Mountain Water.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Sandalwood, Black Currant, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Green Tea. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Creed Silver Mountain Water lists Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Green Tea, Black Currant, Musk, Sandalwood and Petitgrain among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping 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?

We would compare the black currant against the tea, then check the sandalwood. Creed’s profile also includes musk, petitgrain and galbanum.

Which one should you choose?

We would start with DUA Water of Arabia if you want to explore green tea, black currant and citrus 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.
