What Is DUA Luxurious Couple a Dupe Of?

DUA Luxurious Couple is a clone of Benigna Parfums Premier Amour. DUA names that fragrance as its inspiration, so it’s the bottle to sample alongside this one if you’re interested in how the scent was interpreted.

What makes these worth comparing?

Luxurious Couple takes on Benigna Parfums Premier Amour. DUA highlights tuberose and heliotrope alongside bergamot, tonka, cloves and woods. We’d compare how the fuller floral notes work with the spice and sweetness. If tuberose is a note you sometimes love and sometimes find too much, sampling this particular combination will tell you more than choosing it from the inspiration name alone.

What notes should you look for?

DUA lists Tuberose, Heliotrope, Bergamot, Tonka Bean, Cloves and Woodsy Notes.

How would we compare samples?

If you have samples, give each its own wrist and let the first spray settle. Come back once the notes you enjoy most are easier to pick out. Smelling them twice gives you a better idea of whether the opening is what drew you in or whether the finish is the part you want to wear. Check both on a day when you can keep the rest of your routine unscented. Use a blotter for a first impression if you’re sampling several scents at once. Save a skin test for the two you’re choosing between.

Which one would we try first?

We’d try DUA Luxurious Couple if the notes above sound like what you want from this scent. If you’ve already worn Benigna Parfums Premier Amour and have a particular part of it in mind, start with a small sample so you can compare that detail before buying. Check the size and format shown on the retailer page, and use the delivered price for the bottle you’d actually order. That’s especially helpful when one listing is for a travel size or sample and another is for a full bottle.
