What Is DUA Accidental Vanille a Dupe Of?

The original behind DUA Accidental Vanille is Jousset Parfums Accident A La Vanille. It is DUA’s clone of that scent, with vanilla, sandalwood and styrax 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

Accidental Vanille follows the original Accident À La Vanille. Vanilla, sandalwood and styrax are the whole of DUA’s saved note list, with vanilla repeated across Jousset’s tiers. We’d compare the woody and resinous setting around the vanilla rather than expecting a berry dessert.

This is the original Accident À La Vanille pairing, separate from Crème De La Berry.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Styrax, Vanilla and Sandalwood. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Jousset Parfums Accident A La Vanille lists Vanilla, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Vanilla and Styrax 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?

We’d check how the sandalwood and styrax sit beside the vanilla after the opening. A short list does not tell us how simple or complex the result will seem.

Which one should you choose?

For a purchase, think about what you want from this pairing: DUA’s take on vanilla, sandalwood and styrax, 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.
