What Is DUA A Citrus Route a Dupe Of?

The original behind DUA A Citrus Route is Louis Vuitton Sur La Route. It is DUA’s clone of that scent, with citrus, green notes and soft woods as the useful starting point for a comparison. Here is what connects the two and what we would pay attention to when choosing between them.

What connects the two

Sur la Route is the reference here, with citrus and a greener, woody side to compare. The useful question is how the brighter notes connect to that drier setting. We would keep the two profiles in view and follow a few clear anchors rather than expect a simple sweet citrus scent.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Iso E Super, Cardamom, Calabrian bergamot, Citruses, Lemon, Leather and Peru Balsam. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Louis Vuitton Sur La Route lists Citruses, Calabrian bergamot, Lemon, Pink Pepper, Grass, Nutmeg and Hedione among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with each scent’s own labels and structure. A note list describes the idea; it does not tell you the proportions or guarantee that two fragrances develop the same way.

What would we compare on skin?

Compare the citrus with the greener notes, then come back to the wood impression. We would check how that fresher balance feels beyond the opening before choosing a bottle.

Which one should you choose?

For a purchase, think about what you want from this pairing: DUA’s take on citrus, green notes and soft woods, or the original fragrance itself. Then compare the actual bottle sizes and current retailer terms. We’d give a sample time to develop before committing to a larger bottle, especially if the balance between the fresher and sweeter notes is what matters to you.
