What Is DUA No Market For Citrus a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA No Market For Citrus is a dupe of, the answer is Amouage Arcus. The connection is lime, fig leaf and aromatic woods, with a few details worth checking in a sample before you buy.

Why this pairing makes sense

The reference here is Amouage Arcus. Lime, bergamot and fig leaf give us the green citrus idea, with basil and lavender supporting it and teak wood adding a more distinctive woody detail.

How do their notes compare?

For DUA No Market For Citrus, useful notes to follow include Patchouli, Teak Wood, Bergamot, Lavender, Geranium and Cyclamen. Amouage Arcus lists Lime, Bergamot, Fig Leaf, Cyclamen, Basil and Lavender among its own notes.

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the fig leaf with the citrus first. Notice how much the herbs and teak shape the scent after that brighter opening.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.

Which bottle makes more sense?

Think about which part of this pairing you want to wear most, then compare the actual bottles on offer. DUA No Market For Citrus gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Amouage Arcus is the reference itself. We’d check bottle size, shipping and return terms before choosing. If you are unsure about the sweeter or woodier side, try a sample first.
