What Is DUA City of Dua a Dupe Of?

DUA City of Dua is a clone of Louis Vuitton City of Stars. That is the original behind this pairing, with citrus, tiare flower, musk and sandalwood as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

City of Dua follows City of Stars through several citrus notes, tiare flower, musk and sandalwood. Blood orange and blood mandarin are useful details to compare with the lime and lemon. The floral middle matters alongside the bright opening.

The original is Louis Vuitton City of Stars, rather than Symphony or California Dream.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Tiare Flower, Musk, Lime, Blood Mandarin, Powdery Notes, Blood Orange and Sandalwood. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Louis Vuitton City of Stars lists Lime, Blood Orange, Blood Mandarin, Bergamot, Lemon, Tiare Flower and Powdery Notes 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 citrus mix with the tiare flower, then revisit the musk and sandalwood. Both profiles also include powdery notes.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA City of Dua if you want to explore citrus, tiare flower, musk and sandalwood 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.
