What Is DUA Her Paris a Dupe Of?

DUA Her Paris is a clone of Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Eau de Parfum. 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?

Strawberry, raspberry and pear give this Mon Paris pairing a fruity opening. We’d also follow the white florals and patchouli, since the relationship between those elements and the sweetness can shape the whole wearing experience.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Her Paris lists Strawberry, Raspberry, Pear, Orange, Tangerine, Calabrian Bergamot, Calone and Peony. Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Eau de Parfum lists Raspberry, Black Currant, Pear, Orange, Bergamot, May Rose, Bulgarian Rose and Peony.

Both lists include Raspberry, Pear, Orange, Peony and Datura, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Her Paris, also look for Strawberry, Tangerine, Calabrian Bergamot and Calone. The original’s list also includes Black Currant, Bergamot, May Rose and Bulgarian Rose.

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.
