What Is DUA Carnal Desire a Dupe Of?

DUA Carnal Desire is a clone of Frederic Malle Carnal Flower 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?

Tuberose and eucalyptus make this a particularly distinctive floral pairing. Coconut, jasmine and musk add softer details in DUA’s list, and we’d compare how that creamy side sits against the greener opening.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Carnal Desire lists Tuberose Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute, Jasmine, Silver Musk, Coconut, Eucalyptus, Ylang-Ylang and Ripe Melon. Frederic Malle Carnal Flower EDP lists Melon, Tuberose, White Musk and Milky Notes.

The note names give you different details to follow in each bottle. For DUA Carnal Desire, start with Tuberose Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute and Jasmine. For Frederic Malle Carnal Flower EDP, keep an eye on Melon, Tuberose and White Musk. 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?
