What Is DUA Got My Lipstick On! a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Got My Lipstick On! is a dupe of, the answer is Maison Martin Margiela Lipstick On. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of iris, heliotrope, vanilla and tonka. Here are the notes worth comparing before you choose a bottle.

The idea behind the comparison

Iris and heliotrope give this pairing a powdery floral idea, with vanilla and tonka adding warmth. Galbanum, citrus and orange blossom give you other details to compare. If the makeup-like impression is what interests you, check how those notes work together rather than judging the vanilla by itself.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Iris, Bourbon Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Heliotrope, Galbanum, Orange Blossom and Patchouli. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Maison Martin Margiela Lipstick On lists Heliotrope, Bergamot, Neroli, Iris, Galbanum, Orange Blossom 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?

Compare the iris and heliotrope with the vanilla sweetness, then look for the greener galbanum side. We would see whether the powdery impression is the part you want to wear.

Which one should you choose?

If iris, heliotrope, vanilla and tonka is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We’d choose between them after checking the actual bottle size, current offer and return terms, rather than assuming one is automatically the better deal. Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can, and compare them again after the opening has settled.
