What Is DUA Chronicles Of Garden 05 a Dupe Of?

DUA Chronicles Of Garden 05 is a clone of Eight & Bob Annicke 5. 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?

Annicke 5 is the reference, with rum, honey, plum and caramel among the shared notes. Lily-of-the-valley and bergamot bring a different side to that sweeter list. We’d look at the balance of fruit, flowers and warmth when trying the pair. The presence of rum doesn’t tell you on its own whether you’ll enjoy the rest of the fragrance.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Chronicles Of Garden 05 lists Bergamot, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Rum, Honey, Plum, Amber, Vanilla and Caramel. Eight & Bob Annicke 5 lists Rum, Bergamot, Lily-of-the-Valley, Honey, Amber, Plum, Caramel and Vanilla.

Both lists include Bergamot, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Rum, Honey and Plum, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample.

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.
