What Is DUA D Pour Homme a Dupe Of?

DUA D Pour Homme is a clone of Valentino V pour Homme. 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?

This pairing brings together citrus, warm woods and a little sweetness. Tamarind and pink pepper add detail to DUA’s opening, while sandalwood, amber and cacao make the later stages worth spending time with.

How do the notes compare?

DUA D Pour Homme lists Basil, Pink Pepper, Tamarind, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot, Sandalwood, Amber and Musk. Valentino V pour Homme lists Pink Pepper, Tamarind, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot, Basil, Sandalwood, Amber and Mace.

Both lists include Basil, Pink Pepper, Tamarind, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA D Pour Homme, also look for Cedar Wood, Mace Oil and Ambrette Seed. The original’s list also includes Mace, Cedar and Ambrette (Musk Mallow).

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.
