Sweet spice and vanilla-tonka forward, with a similar amber-patchouli base. Less lavender prominence than A*Men, and the opening feels slightly more cardamom-heavy, but the creamy-sweet DNA is recognizable.

Dua's explicit homage to A*Men with an oud twist. Retains the spicy-sweet lavender-cinnamon-tonka axis of the original but adds woody depth via oud. More orientalist and less fresh than A*Men, but unmistakably inspired.

Every dupe is rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). Scores are aggregated from community consensus on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones, and Fragrantica. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
