Ranked by consensus
Dupe of Fierce
At 76/100, this is Dua's closest match to Fierce in attar (oil) form, making it the strongest similarity in this list; oil format typically means better longevity on skin but no alcohol-driven projection, so the opening blast of Fierce may feel more muted.
“Closest match, oil trade-off”
Dupe of Fierce
Rated 68/100, this is Dua's standard spray interpretation of Fierce's woody aromatic character; clone-house pricing typically means slightly shorter longevity and projection than the original.
“Solid spray clone, moderate longevity”

Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch is one of the most recognizable American fragrances of the 2000s, famously worn by the brand's store staff and pumped through its retail locations to create an instantly memorable scent signature. A Woody Aromatic built around notes of citrus, woods, and a clean, masculine musk, it became a cultural touchstone for a generation and remains hugely popular today. Its widespread appeal and relatively accessible price point have made it one of the most sought-after fragrances to dupe, with perfume houses regularly releasing alternatives that chase its fresh, clean, slightly ozonic character.
When shopping for a Fierce dupe, the first thing to consider is how closely you need it to match the original's signature clean, woody-musky freshness — our data shows that the top-scoring alternative, Dua #FierceAttar, hits a 76/100 similarity score, which is a strong match but still leaves a noticeable gap, so set your expectations accordingly. Longevity and projection are also worth weighing: oil-based attars like the #FierceAttar format can offer better skin-clinging longevity than an EDT spray, though they project differently. Budget is another key lever — our dataset spans from $30 at the low end up to $99 for a larger Dua Lux 100ml bottle, so if you want the most savings, the cheaper options are worth trying first before committing to a premium format. As with most clones, none will be a perfect 1:1 replica, but the Dua lineup in particular offers multiple takes on the same DNA, letting you choose the format and price point that suits you best.

Based on our data, the closest match is Dua #FierceAttar, which scores 76 out of 100 for similarity to the original Fierce. It's available for $43.00, making it a relatively affordable way to get near the original's clean, woody aromatic character.
The cheapest alternative in our dataset starts at just $30, which can represent meaningful savings depending on where you're buying the original Fierce. Even the top-rated Dua #FierceAttar at $43.00 is a budget-friendly option for a high-similarity alternative.
Yes — our data includes three Dua options inspired by Fierce: #FierceAttar ($43.00, 76/100 similarity), #Fierce ($33.00, 68/100), and #Fierce in the Dua Lux 100ml format ($99.00, 68/100). The Attar scores highest for similarity, while the standard #Fierce is the most affordable. The Lux 100ml is the largest bottle and best value per ml if you want a larger supply.
That depends on how much the exact scent matters to you. Fierce has a strong nostalgic and cultural identity, and the original remains widely available. However, if you're primarily after the woody aromatic freshness at a lower price, our top dupe picks — especially the Dua #FierceAttar at 76/100 similarity — offer a compelling alternative without the brand premium.
