What Is DUA Green Bois a Dupe Of?

DUA Green Bois is a clone of Tom Ford Vert des Bois. 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.

What kind of scent is it going for?

Poplar buds, olive tree, anise and plum make this a more unusual green comparison. We’d pay attention to those details alongside the jasmine and patchouli, rather than expecting a straightforward citrus scent. The question is how the leafy, woody and sweeter notes fit together for your taste.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Green Bois lists Poplar Buds, Olive Tree, Anise, Plum, Mastic Oil, Jasmine, Woody Notes and Patchouli. Tom Ford Vert des Bois lists Poplar (Populus) buds, Olive Tree, Anise, Plum, Mastic or Lentisque, Jasmine, Woody Notes and Patchouli.

Both lists include Olive Tree, Anise, Plum, Jasmine and Woody Notes, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Green Bois, also look for Poplar Buds and Mastic Oil. The original’s list also includes Poplar (Populus) buds and Mastic or Lentisque.

What would we look for in a sample?

Try a similar amount of each on separate wrists and give them some time. Come back to both after the first burst has settled, then check them again later. We’d focus on the notes that made you interested in the pairing in the first place.
