What Is DUA Intensified Vanillac Ruby: Neroli a Dupe Of?

DUA Intensified Vanillac Ruby: Neroli is a clone of EBK Ruby N Vanilla Neroli. 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?

Ruby N Vanilla Neroli is the reference. Neroli, orange blossom and bergamot sit with vanilla, almond, lavender and a powdery, woody base in the lists. We’d pay attention to the orange-flower side against that sweetness. If you want vanilla with something brighter around it, those floral and citrus notes are the details worth following in a sample.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Intensified Vanillac Ruby: Neroli lists Bergamot, Neroli, Orange Blossom, Almond, Vanilla Absolute, Lavender, Powdery Notes and Amber. EBK Ruby N Vanilla Neroli lists Bergamot, Neroli, Vanilla Absolute, Orange Blossom, Almond, Lavender, Powdery Notes and Patchouli.

Both lists include Bergamot, Neroli, Orange Blossom, Almond and Vanilla Absolute, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample.

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.
