What Is DUA Neroli From Another World a Dupe Of?

DUA Neroli From Another World is a clone of Guerlain Néroli Outrenoir. 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?

Citrus, neroli and tea give this comparison a useful starting point, with smoke, earthy notes and resins adding another side. We’d pay particular attention to the tea against the orange blossom, then check how much warmth the vanilla, myrrh and benzoin bring later on.
