The Scoop
King of Judea Attar captures the spicy opening and woody-incense heart of Herod quite effectively, delivering a similar warm and tobacco-forward character. However, the clone tends to emphasize the vanilla and labdanum sweetness slightly more than the original, which can feel less nuanced and complex in the development phase.
Key Differences
The clone may lack some of the original's cypriol oil and iso e super complexity, resulting in a slightly less sophisticated dry-down. Longevity and sillage appear comparable, but the overall composition feels somewhat more linear and less layered than Herod's multi-dimensional structure.

What wearers say
“A solid Herod clone - quite close to the original. It's definitely NOT stronger than my 2023 batch of PDM Herod (after 4 months maceration) or my 2018 Herod decant (the red juice).I was hoping for a more prominent cherry-tobacco/sweet note to really nail it, so it falls a little short of my expectations. Perhaps this DUA juice also needs some time to macerate?Even after international shipping to NZ, it still clocks in at about 50% of Herod’s price per ml, so no complaints there.”
“This dupe of PDM Herod is closer than Alexandria Fragrance Arabian Horse. About 80% to Herod. It is fairly oily though. So is Amouage Royal Tobacco.Alexandria Fragrance Arabian Horse is much ligher than the Dua Brand. Almost like a summer version of Herod .King of Judea Attar is a bit closer to Herod overall. Not exactly as heavy or thick as Herod. And a bit lighter.I noticed Dua has more depth than Alexandria Fragrance for dupes.This definitely sits closer to the skin though .”
“Perfect PDM Herod dupe scent-wise but MUCH stronger. Even half a spray is too potent if you're in close quarters. It does dry down eventually but it really kicks you in the face for the first hour at least.”
