What Is DUA Heart Of Blue a Dupe Of?

DUA Heart Of Blue is a clone of Thameen Blue Heart EXTRAIT. 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’s the connection?

Blue Heart is the original here. Coconut, saffron and orris make this a different proposition from a simple vanilla fragrance, even though vanilla and tonka are part of the mix too. We’d be curious about the coconut against those drier, spicier notes. The listed cypriol also gives you something woody to follow as you compare the two.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Heart Of Blue lists Saffron, Coconut, Orris, Amber, Vanilla, Tonka Beans, Cypriol and White Musk. Thameen Blue Heart EXTRAIT lists Saffron, Coconut, Orris, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, White Musk, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha and Amber.

Both lists include Saffron, Coconut, Orris, Amber and Vanilla, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Heart Of Blue, also look for Tonka Beans and Cypriol. The original’s list also includes Tonka Bean and Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d give both fragrances a similar number of sprays on separate wrists, then come back after the opening settles. Check the parts you enjoy most: the brightness at the start, the balance through the middle and the way the finish feels close to skin.
