ATTENTION STRONG!
The hype around Ombre Nomade was/is very big. You smell it and clones very often when you walk through pedestrian zones and I like it every time. That's why I bought the DUA version. And what can I say, DUA has done a great job here too.
In my opinion, the fragrance has two main notes that come out: raspberry and leather. The fragrance progression is fairly linear.
Longevity and sillage are really out of this world, which not everyone likes. I can tell a memorable story about this:
During my semester abroad in the USA, I was glowing with friends in an apartment and my friends were already complaining about how many sprays I had already applied (it was 4, but nobody believed me). Normally I spray on more perfume when I go out partying, but as it's DUA you have to hold back. About an hour after spraying it on, we were in an Uber to downtown and the driver immediately asked what kind of perfume it was. Two minutes later she opened the window, another minute later she said she couldn't breathe and when we arrived another two minutes later she had to get out and almost threw up. Accordingly, I can say from personal experience:

ATTENTION STRONG!

Leathery affair
Back then, I saw it on YouTube based on a well-known manufacturer and its high-priced niche, bought it and thought it was great!
I would say it comes 80-90% close to the original.
In general, Dua does a good job and already has some good dupes of great niche fragrances in its range.
For 1/5 of the money you get an almost identical fragrance here, at first smell usually no difference recognizable.

Not an everyday fragrance, so it is rarely used because it stings a lot in the nose.

In my opinion, incense comes first followed by sweet raspberry.

Unfortunately, the import is often complicated, which makes the bottle rather rare. I was only lucky enough to find one myself on EBay.

Dua Nomad
Finally a fragrance that is worth a comment. Yes, I like it brutal, loud and long-lasting, that's exactly what I pay money for, plus the fragrance is very beautiful for me and the price is justified due to the economical use.
I know both Ombre Nomade and various dupes. However, Dua delivers the best here, even if this pseudo leather note of ON comes through less here, but more sweetness of raspberry, which is not a problem for me, on the contrary, this dimmed leather / wood note even makes it more wearable. Ombre Nomade Vibes still lasts for hours and is also surrounded by a beautiful sweetness.
So for me the conclusion is clear: if you like more oud notes, go for the original, if you like it a little sweeter and still want the fragrance to last a long time, go for Dua.

Plump panhandling of pseudo leather
How do you write a review? And is it at all legitimate to impose a malus in the sense of very critical words on an obvious copy or would these not have to apply to the original? May one work off alone on the title of the fragrance or on the difference to the original?
Quite honestly: actually this does not tangent me, but in the sense came me already before I have written the lines. Sure, Ombre Nomade I feel more balanced, deeper and better. Fallen I do not find in him either, but good.

From a fragrance that has leather in its name, I expect a leathery smell. Nowadays, thanks to creations like Tuscan Leather, all you apparently have to do is take raspberry plus some smoke and sure, it smells like leather.
Uh, no. This smells like crushed berries garnished with way too much sweetness and times incense on the side. But not too much. Yes, it reminds thus of leather creations that go in that direction. Nothing more. And it doesn't remind of the good ones either but more of infusion/copy number 300 billion of Tuscan Leather. And so if I now already copy something that smells like the umpteenth variation of a direction anyway, I find that frankly off.

Leather for eternity so. Well, fortunately, one is not eternal itself, because this I wish no one as a companion for eternity. Well, how smells the fragrance because now further after the penetrating synthetic prelude in terms of obtrusiveness also reminiscent of Ombre Leather? Unfortunately ungeil, if you hope for good leather and do not also want to smell, as if you had raided the pharmacy to steal all em-Eukal supplies.

After thirty minutes, anyway, it smells less penetrating, you could almost say quite decent. The berries lose the sweetness, the incense is still only slightly noticeable and actually goes in the oud. Doesn't have much of oud, of course, so remains flat and dull. Benzoin I do not perceive, this resin smells of course sweetish but has certainly not the beginning so messed up. So the Dua burbles along, nothing more happens either, just gets paler. As if this is the lead scent of the food industry. It has to be cheap, so we take lots of substitutes, make that edible and then they sell at high margin. 19 cents for chocolate pudding? Surely only the best is in it. That's the way it is here. Actually I don't say anything against it because smelling good doesn't have to be expensive. Only jumps one this plump-artificial here so much that one goes before force to the ground.

Lastly; don't get me wrong: Tuscan Leather I think is great. But all these uninspired imitation or related fragrances, with very few exceptions like Oro 1920, I don't. Nor that one as a consumer almost automatically associates then leather with similar smells.
Leather for the Ages possessed with me the eternity of a mayfly and there I am also grateful for. The fragrance is worse than the original and then also boring and has nothing to do with leather. Because I'm nice, I give again 5/10. for so what I would actually rather give 1/10.
