What Is DUA Acqua Solaris a Dupe Of?

DUA Acqua Solaris is a clone of Profumum Roma Acqua Viva EDP. 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?

Lemon is the obvious draw, with cypress, broom, cedar and orange blossom bringing more detail to DUA’s list. We’d look for how the citrus feels on skin and what remains when its brightest part begins to soften.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Acqua Solaris lists Amalfi Lemon, Cypress, Volcano Broom, Cedar Wood and Orange Blossom. Profumum Roma Acqua Viva EDP lists almond, coconut, heliotrope and tonka bean.

The note names give you different details to follow in each bottle. For DUA Acqua Solaris, start with Amalfi Lemon, Cypress and Volcano Broom. For Profumum Roma Acqua Viva EDP, keep an eye on almond, coconut and heliotrope. The way those parts blend together is what we’d spend time comparing.

What would we look for in a sample?

A sample gives you room to find out which balance you enjoy. We’d try both with a similar amount, let the opening settle and come back later in the day. Pay attention to the part you most want to wear, whether that’s the first freshness or the warmer finish.

Which one would we buy?
