Desert Spice exemplifies another Dua Fragrance based on a very popular men’s fragrance that I’m nonetheless not a big a fan of. And like Ecstasy being a clone of Amouage Jubilation XXV, I’m interested in Desert Spice as a clone of Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L’Homme as a curiosity more than looking for a better-performing version, as Duas have set a high standard for performance and are generally praised as higher-performing counterparts to the fragrances they resemble.
In Desert Spice I get a very similar vibe to YSL LNDLH, though as with Ecstasy, Desert Spice is a little bit less complex, a mix of only bergamot, spices, cardamom, and cedar per its website. Complexity itself is usually considered a positive but in both Ecstasy and now Desert Spice I do not find that that’s the case. The relatively soft simplicity of the note breakdown of Desert Spice yields an experience that is a bit easier to digest, and a scent that is therefore easy to wear. I’d say that the same could still be said of LNDLH, but perhaps not to the same degree.
I’d recommend trying Desert Spice at least to compare it to LNDLH and see how it works for you. It performs better than LDHLH on my skin and is very pleasant and versatile. I like it, but don’t love it, and in a house with so much good stuff, I’m not inclined to buy a bottle.

Desert spice was one that I was interested in smelling for awhile. There’s a menthol note in this that when combined with the others notes gives off a creamy medicinal accord. Once it settles down it becomes a blob of spices and menthol. I was expecting a big cardamom note which isn’t there. Also, the vintage La Nuit had what smelled like geranium which also is missing in desert spice. This gets worse through the dry down and eventually turns into what I perceive as pepto bismol. Just as a fragrance on it’s own would be considered bad. As a La Nuit clone this is really bad. Stay clear of this one until it’s tweaked to smell more like La Nuit.
