What Is DUA Neroli of Genoa a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Neroli of Genoa is a dupe of, the answer is Tom Ford Neroli Portofino. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of neroli, citrus, orange blossom and herbs. Here are the notes worth comparing before you choose a bottle.

The idea behind the comparison

Neroli of Genoa follows Neroli Portofino through citrus, neroli, orange blossom and aromatic herbs. Lavender, rosemary and myrtle add more detail around the flowers. We’d compare those parts together rather than treating every neroli fragrance as a substitute for the same thing.

The reference is Tom Ford Neroli Portofino EDP, separate from Acqua and Forte.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Lavender, Neroli, Angelica, Amber, African Orange Flower, Mandarin Orange and Bitter Orange. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Tom Ford Neroli Portofino lists Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Lemon, Bitter Orange, Lavender, Rosemary and Myrtle 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 citrus with the neroli and herbal notes, then revisit the base. The two profiles use slightly different labels for pittosporum.

Which one should you choose?

If neroli, citrus, orange blossom and herbs 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.
