What Is DUA Citrus Of The Sea a Dupe Of?

DUA Citrus Of The Sea is a clone of Fragrance Du Bois Zest Marin. 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?

Lemon, bergamot and sea notes give this pairing its starting point. Galbanum, lavender and nutmeg add another side to the freshness. We’d follow those details after the first citrus burst, then check how much warmth the vanilla and woods bring to the finish.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Citrus Of The Sea lists Lemon, Bergamot, Galbanum, Sea Notes, Nutmeg, Lavender, Vetiver and Musk. Fragrance Du Bois Zest Marin lists Lemon, Bergamot, Galbanum, Sea Notes, Nutmeg, Lavender, Vetiver and Musk.

Both lists include Lemon, Bergamot, Galbanum, Sea Notes and Nutmeg, 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.
