What Is DUA Dazed a Dupe Of?

The original behind DUA Dazed is Byredo Sundazed. It is DUA’s clone of that scent, with citrus, neroli, jasmine and cotton candy as the useful starting point for a comparison. Here is what connects the two and what we would pay attention to when choosing between them.

What connects the two

Dazed follows Sundazed through citrus, neroli, jasmine and a cotton-candy note. Musk is also part of both profiles. The citrus and flowers give this comparison more to explore than sweetness on its own, particularly if you are deciding what to sample first.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Cotton Candy, Jasmine, Neroli, Lemon and Musk. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Byredo Sundazed lists Mandarin Orange, Californian Lemon, Neroli, Jasmine Sambac, Cotton Candy and White Musk 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 against the cotton candy after the opening. DUA lists lemon, while Byredo’s profile names Californian lemon alongside mandarin.

Which one should you choose?

For a purchase, think about what you want from this pairing: DUA’s take on citrus, neroli, jasmine and cotton candy, or the original fragrance itself. Then compare the actual bottle sizes and current retailer terms. We’d give a sample time to develop before committing to a larger bottle, especially if the balance between the fresher and sweeter notes is what matters to you.
