What Is DUA Man Card VIP a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Man Card VIP is a dupe of, the answer is Gucci Pour Homme II. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of black tea, violet leaf and warm spices. Here are the notes worth comparing before you choose a bottle.

The idea behind the comparison

Man Card VIP takes Gucci Pour Homme II as its starting point. Black tea, violet leaf, cinnamon and pimento are the details to compare, with tobacco leaf, myrrh and woods underneath. This is a tea-focused pairing rather than a generic spicy men’s fragrance.

The reference is Gucci Pour Homme II, rather than Gucci Pour Homme or Guilty.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Tobacco Leaf, Myrrh, Cinnamon, Pimento, Pepper, Bergamot and Violet Leaf. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Gucci Pour Homme II lists Violet Leaf, Bergamot, Black Tea, Cinnamon, Pimento, Tobacco Leaf and Myrrh among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with each scent’s own labels and structure. A note list describes the idea; it does not tell you the proportions or guarantee that two fragrances develop the same way.

What would we compare on skin?

We’d compare the black tea and violet leaf together before revisiting the tobacco and myrrh. DUA also names pepper in its own list.

Which one should you choose?

If black tea, violet leaf and warm spices is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We’d choose between them after checking the actual bottle size, current offer and return terms, rather than assuming one is automatically the better deal. Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can, and compare them again after the opening has settled.
