What Is DUA Carnival Of The Moon a Dupe Of?

DUA Carnival Of The Moon is a clone of Vilhelm Parfumerie Moon Carnival EDP. The notes point toward white flowers and marshmallow sweetness. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Tuberose, gardenia and orchid give this pairing a large floral center. Passionfruit and marshmallow pull in different directions around it, making the flowers' balance with fruit and sweetness the most useful sampling question.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Carnival Of The Moon lists Bergamot, Passionfruit, Pink Freesia, Tuberose, Gardenia and Orchid among its notes. Vilhelm Parfumerie Moon Carnival EDP lists Pink Freesia, Passionfruit, Bergamot, Tuberose, Gardenia and Orchid among its own notes.

A shared note is a starting point, rather than a promise that both scents will develop the same way. The amount of sweetness, the texture of the woods and the way the notes blend can matter as much as the names on the list.

What would we look for in a sample?

Notice how the tuberose sits with the marshmallow. If white florals can feel intense to you, give this one time before committing.

Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can. Compare them again after the opening settles, and check how noticeable each one feels at a normal wearing distance. Let your own skin and usual setting have a say.

Which bottle makes more sense?

We’d start with DUA Carnival Of The Moon if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Vilhelm Parfumerie Moon Carnival EDP if that exact original is what you want. Before ordering, compare bottle sizes, the delivered price and the retailer’s return terms. A smaller bottle or sample can be the better first step when one particular note is the reason you are interested.
