1. The DUA Brand Queen of Spades
FragIndex finds Queen of Spades a powerful, polished interpretation of Xerjoff Pikovaya Dama, centered on an intensely clean, powdery, and aldehydic character. The resemblance becomes especially convincing after the opening, although the clone can initially feel sharper, more citrus-forward, and less plush than the original. Longevity is exceptional and projection is consistently forceful, so restrained spraying is advisable even though the fresh, soapy profile remains versatile. Its refined character and strong value are notable strengths, while the piercing opening and distinctly old-fashioned soap impression may divide wearers.
