What Is Dossier Floral Violet a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind Dossier Floral Violet is Marc Jacobs Daisy EDT. It is a clone pairing built around violet, juicy fruit and soft white flowers. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Daisy Eau de Toilette is the original behind Floral Violet. Fruit and violet connect the brighter part of this pairing, with white flowers and a musky woody base giving you more to compare later.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for Dossier Floral Violet include Strawberry, Watermelon, Pomelo, Jasmine, Violet and Gardenia. Marc Jacobs Daisy EDT lists Violet Leaf, Blood Grapefruit, Strawberry, Violet, Gardenia and Jasmine among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d follow the violet as the fruit settles. Check whether the softer floral finish is as appealing to you as the brighter first spray.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for Dossier Floral Violet and Marc Jacobs Daisy EDT, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
