What Is DUA Love In Waves a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA Love In Waves is Charlotte Tilbury Love Frequency. It is a clone pairing built around rose, saffron and musky woods. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Rose and saffron share space with patchouli, musk and woody notes. We'd compare the way those warmer details frame the flowers, especially if you are interested in a rose scent with something beyond a simple floral bouquet.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA Love In Waves include Pink Pepper, Rose, Saffron, Rose Oil, Patchouli and Cashmeran. Charlotte Tilbury Love Frequency lists Pink Pepper, Rose, Saffron, Patchouli, Amberwood and Musk 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?

Follow the saffron next to the rose. We'd also check whether the musky, woody part feels as comfortable as the floral opening.

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 Love In Waves and Charlotte Tilbury Love Frequency, 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.
