What Is DUA Elixir Du Wealth a Dupe Of?

DUA Elixir Du Wealth is a clone of Ormonde Jayne Gold Elixir. 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?

Gold Elixir is the original to look up for this one. Saffron and pepper give the pairing a spicy starting point, while jasmine, rose and geranium take it into floral territory. There’s also vanilla, musk and patchouli to follow. We’d be interested in the balance between those parts, especially if you want something warmer than a light floral.
