What Is DUA Be In Love a Dupe Of?

The original behind DUA Be In Love is Kilian Love, Don't Be Shy. It is DUA’s clone of that scent, with orange blossom, sugar and vanilla 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

Be In Love takes its cue from Love, Don’t Be Shy through orange blossom, neroli, sugar and vanilla. Honeysuckle, jasmine and rose give the floral side more detail. It is a useful pairing if you want to explore sweetness wrapped around flowers rather than a plain vanilla idea.

The reference is the original Love, Don’t Be Shy, rather than the Extreme edition.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Sugar, Vanilla, Musk, Orange Blossom, Honeysuckle, Jasmine and Caramel. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Kilian Love, Don't Be Shy lists Neroli, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Coriander, Orange Blossom, Honeysuckle and Jasmine 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 orange blossom and neroli against the caramel and sugar. The long shared list still leaves plenty of room for a different balance on skin.

Which one should you choose?

For a purchase, think about what you want from this pairing: DUA’s take on orange blossom, sugar and vanilla, or the original fragrance itself. Then compare the actual bottle sizes and current retailer terms. We would 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.
