What Is DUA Heart Of Rome a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Heart Of Rome is a dupe of, the answer is Valentino Valentino Donna Born In Roma. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of black currant, jasmine and bourbon vanilla. We would start there, then look at the individual notes before deciding which bottle makes sense for you.

The idea behind the comparison

Heart Of Rome follows Donna Born in Roma through black currant, jasmine, bourbon vanilla and woody materials. Pink pepper and bergamot add more detail. It is worth exploring if you want a fruity-floral vanilla idea without assuming that every Born in Roma edition has the same profile.

The reference is Donna Born in Roma EDP, rather than Intense or Extradose.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Bourbon Vanilla, Jasmine Sambac, Black Currant, Guaiac Wood, Pink Pepper, Jasmine Tea and Cashmeran. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Valentino Valentino Donna Born In Roma lists Black Currant, Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Jasmine, Jasmine Sambac, Jasmine Tea and Bourbon Vanilla among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping 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?

We would compare the jasmine against the black currant and vanilla, then look at the cashmeran and guaiac wood. Those base notes connect the two catalogs.

Which one should you choose?

If black currant, jasmine and bourbon vanilla is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We would choose between the two 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.
