Triumphant captures the aromatic-spicy opening and creamy floral heart of Kouros quite effectively, with bergamot and carnation playing similar roles in both fragrances. However, the clone lacks some of the original's woody complexity and animalic depth, particularly missing the oakmoss and civet that give Kouros its distinctive leather-tinged character.
The clone is slightly brighter and less animalic than the original, with reduced longevity and sillage. Dua's version emphasizes the sweet vanilla-tonka base over Kouros's smoky, leathery undertones.
What people who wear Dua Triumphant report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“Decent clone of the masterpiece ''KOUROS. The opening is somewhat funky, and weird especially the animalic part. After 30mins you get that typical : aldehydic, animalic/musky/spicy profile from Kouros. The animalic aspect in "Triumphant" is somewhat toned down compared to the OG bottle of Kouros, so its more versatile and more wearable. Considering the price, the quality and longevity are very good, similariy with Kouros, I would say 85%.Worth sampling if you love Kouros.”
“Love this juice. The performance is wonderfully powerful and I'd say that the accuracy is around 90% and considering the moderate price I'll gladly take that.”
“I have a bottle of 2013 Kouros and Dua Brand Triumphant smells about 90% similiar to that. I also have a 2008 bottle and now Triumphant is not as close. That's because the 2008 version is quite strong. Where the 2013 version is a bit toned down.”
