What Is DUA Dearest Dream a Dupe Of?

DUA Dearest Dream is a clone of Glossier You Rêve. That is the original behind this pairing, with buttercream, plum, almond and musk as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

Buttercream, plum and almond give this pairing a sweet starting point, with iris, sandalwood, ambrette and ambroxan adding another side. We would compare the softer musky impression as carefully as the gourmand notes. The question is how those pieces work together, rather than whether both lists mention buttercream.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Buttercream, Sandalwood, Ambrette, Almond, Iris, Plum and Ambroxan. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Glossier You Rêve lists Buttercream, Plum, Almond, Sandalwood, Iris, Ambrette and Ambroxan 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?

Check plum and almond against the buttercream, then revisit the ambrette and wood impression. We would see whether the sweet or musky side is the part you want to wear.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA Dearest Dream if you want to explore buttercream, plum, almond and musk 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.
