What Is DUA Celestial Waters a Dupe Of?

DUA Celestial Waters is a clone of House Of Sillage Avatar™ The Way of Water. 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.

What kind of scent is it going for?

The Avatar bottle may be the first thing you notice about the original, but the comparison comes down to a fruity floral profile. Cassis, pear and bergamot sit alongside tuberose, rose and ylang-ylang in both lists. We’d start there: do you enjoy the juicy fruit, or are you mostly looking for the flowers that follow it?

How do the notes compare?

DUA Celestial Waters lists Cassis, Bergamot, Pear, Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Rose, Musk and Moss. House Of Sillage Avatar™ The Way of Water lists Cassis, Bergamot, Pear, Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Rose, Musk and Moss.

Both lists include Cassis, Bergamot, Pear, Ylang-Ylang and Tuberose, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample.

What would we look for in a sample?

Try a similar amount of each on separate wrists and give them some time. Come back to both after the first burst has settled, then check them again later. We’d focus on the notes that made you interested in the pairing in the first place.
