What Is DUA Creamy Raspberry Swirl a Dupe Of?

DUA Creamy Raspberry Swirl is a clone of Jo Malone London Raspberry Ripple. The notes point toward raspberry, redcurrant and white musk. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Creamy Raspberry Swirl follows Jo Malone Raspberry Ripple. Both lists name raspberry, redcurrant and white musk, keeping the comparison focused on a fruity musky idea. The creamy name does not add an extra milk or cream note to that stated list.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Creamy Raspberry Swirl lists Raspberry, Red currant and White musk among its notes. Jo Malone London Raspberry Ripple lists Red Currant, Raspberry and White Musk among its own notes.

A shared note is a starting point, rather than a promise that both scents will develop the same way. The amount of sweetness, the texture of the woods and the way the notes blend can matter as much as the names on the list.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the sharper redcurrant impression with the raspberry and musk. If you want a dessert-like texture, check for it rather than deciding from the name.

Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can. Compare them again after the opening settles, and check how noticeable each one feels at a normal wearing distance. Let your own skin and usual setting have a say.

Which bottle makes more sense?

We’d start with DUA Creamy Raspberry Swirl if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Jo Malone London Raspberry Ripple if that exact original is what you want. Before ordering, compare bottle sizes, the delivered price and the retailer’s return terms. A smaller bottle or sample can be the better first step when one particular note is the reason you are interested.
