What Is DUA Chilling By The Pacific a Dupe Of?

DUA Chilling By The Pacific is a clone of Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill. If you are trying to place the scent, that is the original to start with. The comparison centers on mint, apricot, citrus and green herbs, rather than an unrelated fragrance with a similar name.

Why this pairing makes sense

Chilling By The Pacific follows Pacific Chill’s unusually specific mix of citrus, mint, apricot, basil and carrot seeds. It is a good comparison to explore when a basic lemon-and-woods scent sounds too familiar. The fruit-and-herb combination is the point of this pairing.

The reference is Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Coriander, Citron, Black Currant, Ambrette, Mint, Fig and Carrot Seeds. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill lists Citron, Orange, Mint, Lemon, Black Currant, Coriander and Apricot among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping each scent’s own labels and structure. A note list describes the idea; it does not tell you the proportions or guarantee that two fragrances develop the same way.

What would we compare on skin?

We would compare the mint and basil against the apricot and fig. The notes suggest several moving parts, so the first citrus impression is only one part of the decision.

Which one should you choose?

We would start with DUA Chilling By The Pacific if you want to explore mint, apricot, citrus and green herbs in DUA’s interpretation. Choose the original if having that specific reference is the priority. Before ordering either one, compare bottle sizes, the current delivered cost and the retailer’s return policy. A sample is especially useful if one particular note is the reason you are interested.
