What Is DUA Botanical Garden a Dupe Of?

DUA Botanical Garden is a clone of Ormonde Jayne Jardin Botanique. 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?

Blackcurrant, bergamot, pepper and saffron set up quite a different idea from a simple green garden scent. Rose, jasmine and oud are part of the comparison too. We’d follow the flowers as the opening settles, then check how they sit with the moss, vanilla and patchouli.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Botanical Garden lists Black Currant, Italian Bergamot, Black Pepper, Saffron, Rose, Geranium, Jasmine and Oudh. Ormonde Jayne Jardin Botanique lists Bergamot, Black Pepper, Blackcurrant, Saffron, Rose, Jasmine, Geranium and Oud.

Both lists include Black Pepper, Saffron, Rose, Geranium and Jasmine, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Botanical Garden, also look for Black Currant, Italian Bergamot, Oudh and Madagascan Vanilla. The original’s list also includes Bergamot, Blackcurrant, Oud and Bourbon Vanilla.

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.
