What Is DUA Eccentric Vanilla a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Eccentric Vanilla is a dupe of, the answer is Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée. The connection is citrus and woods wrapped around vanilla, with a few details worth checking in a sample before you buy.

Why this pairing makes sense

Vanille Insensée is the reference. Lime, coriander and vetiver make the vanilla comparison more interesting than a simple dessert scent, with oak adding another dry note to follow.

How do their notes compare?

For DUA Eccentric Vanilla, useful notes to follow include Lime, Citron, Coriander, Vetiver, Oak Moss and Jasmine. Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée lists Lime, Citron, Coriander, Vetiver, oak moss and Jasmine among its own notes.

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the citrus and dry woods as closely as the vanilla sweetness.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.

Which bottle makes more sense?

Think about which part of this pairing you want to wear most, then compare the actual bottles on offer. DUA Eccentric Vanilla gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée is the reference itself. We’d check bottle size, shipping and return terms before choosing. If you are unsure about the sweeter or woodier side, try a sample first.
