What Is DUA Amber Who Is Blonde! a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Amber Who Is Blonde! is a dupe of, the answer is Clive Christian Blonde Amber. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of tobacco, citrus and warm tonka. We would start there, then look at the individual notes before deciding which bottle makes sense for you.

The idea behind the comparison

Amber Who Is Blonde! follows Blonde Amber, with bitter orange, tobacco and tonka providing the clearest signposts. DUA lists a much wider range of resins, spices and flowers. The original’s concise catalog profile should not be mistaken for a complete formula or a lack of complexity.

The reference is Clive Christian Blonde Amber.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Tonka Bean, Olibanum, Labdanum, Cardamom, Vanilla, Cedar and Myrrh. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Clive Christian Blonde Amber lists Bitter Orange, Blonde Tobacco and Tonka Bean among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping 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 would compare the tobacco-and-tonka balance, then look for DUA’s rum, dried-fruit and resin notes. A longer published list does not establish a stronger or better scent.

Which one should you choose?

If tobacco, citrus and warm tonka is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We would choose between the two after checking the actual bottle size, current offer and return terms, rather than assuming one is automatically the better deal. Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can, and compare them again after the opening has settled.
