What Is DUA Citrange Verbena a Dupe Of?

DUA Citrange Verbena is a clone of Santa Eulalia Citric. The notes point toward bright citrus and green aromatic notes. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Citric is the named reference here. Lemon, mandarin and verbena give us the bright connection, while DUA’s pepper, wormwood and cardamom offer extra aromatic details to compare with the original’s greener notes.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Citrange Verbena lists Green Mandarin, Black Pepper, Bergamot, Cardamom, Wormwood and Oakmoss among its notes. Santa Eulalia Citric lists Petitgrain, Green Mandarin, Lemon, Lemon Verbena, Neroli and Juniper 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?

We’d compare the verbena with the citrus after the opening. Check how much spice or moss remains as the brighter notes become quieter.

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 Citrange Verbena if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Santa Eulalia Citric 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.
