What Is DUA Leave It To Chance a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Leave It To Chance is a dupe of, the answer is Chanel Chance Eau de Toilette. The connection is citrus, flowers and musky patchouli, with a few details worth checking in a sample before you buy.

Why this pairing makes sense

DUA names the vintage 2003 Chance Eau de Toilette style. That is the reference here; Eau Splendide and the other Chance flankers have their own separate scent ideas.

How do their notes compare?

For DUA Leave It To Chance, useful notes to follow include Pink Pepper, Patchouli, Lemon, Pineapple, Hyacinth and Musk. Chanel Chance Eau de Toilette lists Patchouli, Pink Pepper, Pineapple, Hiacynth, Iris and Lemon among its own notes.

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d follow the floral middle and patchouli, keeping the EDT edition in mind when choosing samples.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.

Which bottle makes more sense?

Think about which part of this pairing you want to wear most, then compare the actual bottles on offer. DUA Leave It To Chance gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Chanel Chance Eau de Toilette is the reference itself. We’d check bottle size, shipping and return terms before choosing. If you are unsure about the sweeter or woodier side, try a sample first.
