What Is DUA Dionysus a Dupe Of?

DUA Dionysus is a clone of Argos Triumph of Bacchus. That is the original behind this pairing, with rum, peach, apple and tobacco as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

Dionysus takes Triumph of Bacchus as its reference. Rum, white peach, green apple and saffron meet tobacco, vanilla and amber in both profiles. We’d compare the fruit and rum with the tobacco instead of reducing the pairing to a single sweet note.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Tobacco, Saffron, White Peach, Rum, Green Apple, Tonka Bean and Amber. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Argos Triumph of Bacchus lists Saffron, Rum, White Peach, Green Apple, Patchouli, Jasmine and Tonka Bean 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 pay attention to the rum and fruit first, then the tobacco and vanilla. Both profiles list these notes, but the lists do not tell us their relative strength.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA Dionysus if you want to explore rum, peach, apple and tobacco 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.
