What Is DUA Italian Bouquet a Dupe Of?

DUA Italian Bouquet is a clone of Tom Ford Fleur de Portofino EDP. 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?

Citrus, orange leaf and violet leaf sit beside a long list of flowers here. Honey, vanilla and balsams add another side to the comparison. We’d check how the floral notes come through after the first citrus burst, particularly if orange blossom, magnolia or osmanthus is the reason you’re interested.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Italian Bouquet lists Syringa, Tangerine, Bergamot, Sicilian Lemon, Orange Leaf, Violet Leaf, Black Locust and Jasmine. Tom Ford Fleur de Portofino EDP lists Syringa, Tangerine, Bergamot, Sicilian Lemon, Orange Leaf, Violet Leaf, Black locust and Jasmine.

Both lists include Syringa, Tangerine, Bergamot, Sicilian Lemon and Orange Leaf, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Italian Bouquet, also look for Honey and Ambrette. The original’s list also includes Black locust Honey and Ambrette (Musk Mallow).

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.
