What Is DUA 24 Shades of Patchouli a Dupe Of?

DUA 24 Shades of Patchouli is a clone of Le Labo Patchouli 24. That’s the original behind this pairing and the bottle to compare it with if you’re deciding which version of the scent to try.

Why compare these two?

Birch, styrax and vanilla make this more interesting than the name alone suggests. We’d follow the balance between the woodier side and the vanilla, then check where the patchouli fits into it. That balance matters if you enjoy patchouli but have a particular level of sweetness in mind.
