What Is DUA Complexity of Citrus a Dupe Of?

DUA Complexity of Citrus is a clone of Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil EDT. 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?

Mango, grapefruit, tomato and carrot make this more unusual than the name might suggest. Lotus, bulrush and other florals add further details to follow. We’d see which of those greener, fruitier notes you notice most clearly, then come back after the opening to check the incense and softer base notes.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Complexity of Citrus lists Grapefruit, Mango, Bulrush, Tomato, Carrot, Lotus, Orange and Hyacinth. Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil EDT lists Grapefruit, Green Mango, Tomato, Carrot, Lotus, Bulrush, Orange and Hiacynth.

Both lists include Grapefruit, Bulrush, Tomato, Carrot and Lotus, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Complexity of Citrus, also look for Mango and Hyacinth. The original’s list also includes Green Mango and Hiacynth.

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.
