What Is DUA Italian Garden 13: Clover a Dupe Of?

DUA Italian Garden 13: Clover is a clone of Bottega Veneta Parco Palladiano XIII: Quadrifoglio. The notes point toward green herbs, citrus and airy woods. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Basil, bergamot, grapefruit and green notes connect this Parco Palladiano XIII pairing. Geranium, Hedione, incense and woody materials add another side to the comparison. The reference is Quadrifoglio, a specific fragrance in the numbered Parco Palladiano collection.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Italian Garden 13: Clover lists Amberwood, Basil, Bergamot, Coumarin, Geranium and Grapefruit among its notes. Bottega Veneta Parco Palladiano XIII: Quadrifoglio lists Bergamot, Basil, Grapefruit, Green Notes, Geranium and Hedione 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 basil and greener impression once the citrus settles. Make sure the reference is XIII: Quadrifoglio when choosing a sample.

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 Italian Garden 13: Clover if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Bottega Veneta Parco Palladiano XIII: Quadrifoglio 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.
