What Is DUA Love From Afar a Dupe Of?

DUA Love From Afar is a clone of By Kilian Beyond Love. 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?

Beyond Love is the original behind this pairing. DUA puts tuberose and jasmine alongside green notes, coconut, amber and musk. We’d spend time on the white flowers when comparing samples, then see how much of the coconut comes through around them. If tuberose is the reason you’re interested, that balance matters more than simply sharing a few note names.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Love From Afar lists Tuberose, Jasmine, Coconut, Green Notes, Amber and Musk. By Kilian Beyond Love lists Jasmine, Green Notes, Tuberose, Gardenia, Orange Blossom, Amber, Musk and Coconut.

Both lists include Tuberose, Jasmine, Coconut, Green Notes and Amber, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. The original’s list also includes Gardenia, Orange Blossom and Tonka.

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.
