Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Iconic scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Andy Warhol.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Andy Warhol's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $191 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Andy Warhol — the 6th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol is bergamot, pink pepper and mandarin orange at first, iris, violet and jasmine at its heart and amber, musk and cedar at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
