What Is DUA His Blue Intuition a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA His Blue Intuition is Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct Blue. It is a clone pairing built around apple, aromatic herbs and warm woods. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

His Blue Intuition follows Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct Blue. Apple, bergamot, cardamom, lavender, rosemary and pepper connect the brighter aromatic side. Tonka, sandalwood and amber then give the warmer finish a clear set of shared markers.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA His Blue Intuition include Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Bergamot, Lavender, Rosemary and Cardamom. Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct Blue lists Apple, Bergamot, Cardamom, Lavender, Rosemary and Pepper among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the apple and herbs with the tonka after the opening. First Instinct Blue is the reference, rather than another First Instinct edition.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for DUA His Blue Intuition and Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct Blue, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
