Dua's His Sartorial captures the fundamental DNA of the original's aromatic-leather composition, successfully replicating the fresh citrus opening and creamy vanilla-tonka base. However, the clone appears to streamline the complex middle notes and slightly simplifies the sophisticated interplay of metallic, woody, and animalic elements that give the original its distinctive character.
The clone likely lacks the depth of the original's beeswax-myrrh-oakmoss accords and the subtle aldehydic shimmer that creates Sartorial's crystalline quality. Longevity and sillage may also be moderately reduced compared to the original's robust performance.
What people who wear Dua His Sartorial report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“This is the third DUA with the same issue. The opening that lasts long within the mid notes for at least an hour has this chemical, sharp, overbearing, sour, petrol like component i can't stand. I had it macerated, even diluted significantly with perfumers alcohol and it's still there. I believe this is either something DUA uses to improve performance or cheap top/mid note that is terrible. I like dupes and i am not a frag snob but this is super obvious. The same thing with TF Costa Azura and Gentle fluidity silver by DUA.”
“This has been my favorite DUA experience. It smells nearly identical to Sartorial which is one of the best modern fougeres out there right now. It smells better than Moonstone Blue and I had to scrub it off in the shower to be able to wear something else. DUA keeps on impressing me!”
