What Is DUA Fortunella Dream a Dupe Of?

DUA Fortunella Dream is a clone of Hermès Le Jardin de Monsieur Li EDT. 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?

Kumquat, mint and jasmine are the details we’d follow first in this Monsieur Li pairing. DUA also lists green sap. We’d compare how the citrus sits against the mint and flowers, especially if you enjoy fragrances where the fresh and floral parts have room to share the spotlight.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Fortunella Dream lists Green Sap, Jasmine, Mint and Kumquat. Hermès Le Jardin de Monsieur Li EDT lists kumquat, mint, jasmine, heliotrope, musk, sandalwood, vetiver and white amber.

Both lists include Jasmine, Mint and Kumquat, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Fortunella Dream, also look for Green Sap. The original’s list also includes heliotrope, musk, sandalwood and vetiver.

What would we look for in a sample?

A sample gives you room to find out which balance you enjoy. We’d try both with a similar amount, let the opening settle and come back later in the day. Pay attention to the part you most want to wear, whether that’s the first freshness or the warmer finish.

Which one would we buy?
