What Is DUA Citron Wood a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Citron Wood is a dupe of, the answer is Mancera Cedrat Boise. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of citrus, black currant, woods and leather. Here are the notes worth comparing before you choose a bottle.

The idea behind the comparison

Citron Wood follows Cedrat Boise through lemon, bergamot, black currant and spicy notes, with woods and leather underneath. Fruity notes, patchouli and jasmine are also part of the pairing. We’d give the woody base as much attention as the citrus opening.

The reference is Mancera Cedrat Boise EDP, rather than Intense Cedrat Boise.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Sicilian Lemon, Black Currant, Bergamot, Leather, Cedar, Moss and Patchouli Leaf. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Mancera Cedrat Boise lists Sicilian Lemon, Black Currant, Bergamot, Spicy Notes, Fruity Notes, Patchouli Leaf and Water Jasmine among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with 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’d compare the black currant and citrus with the cedar and leather later. The shared note lists are detailed, without establishing equal development or strength.

Which one should you choose?

If citrus, black currant, woods and leather is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We’d choose between them after checking the actual bottle size, current offer and return terms, rather than assuming one is automatically the better deal. Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can, and compare them again after the opening has settled.
