What Is DUA Celsius a Dupe Of?

DUA Celsius is a clone of Dior Fahrenheit Eau de Toilette. The notes point toward citrus, violet and aromatic woods. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

The reference is Fahrenheit EDT. Violet, citrus, nutmeg and sandalwood give us useful links, while DUA names birch, styrax and benzoin; we'd compare the broader impression without turning those different note lists into the same formula.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Celsius lists Violet, Birch, Benzoin, Honeysuckle, Sicilian Mandarin and Styrax among its notes. Dior Fahrenheit Eau de Toilette lists Nutmeg Flower, Lavender, Cedar, Chamomile, Mandarin Orange and Hawthorn 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?

Check the violet impression with the woodiness. If the original's distinctive leather character is your main interest, compare that directly in both samples.

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 Celsius if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Dior Fahrenheit Eau de Toilette 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.
