What Is DUA Berry Vanilla Allure a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Berry Vanilla Allure is a dupe of, the answer is Trish McEvoy Sexy 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk. The connection is blackberry and vanilla with soft flowers, with a few details worth checking in a sample before you buy.

Why this pairing makes sense

Blackberry and mandarin offer the fruity starting point. Vanilla, musk and cashmere wood give the comparison a warmer direction, while lily, osmanthus and tiare add a floral thread worth following too.

How do their notes compare?

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d look at the blackberry’s tartness as well as its sweetness. Notice how much the flowers show through the vanilla later.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.
