What Is DUA Nutty Creamy Caramel a Dupe Of?

The original behind DUA Nutty Creamy Caramel is Sol de Janeiro SOL Cheirosa ’62 Eau de Parfum. It is DUA’s clone of that scent, with pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla as the useful starting point for a comparison. Here is what connects the two and what we would pay attention to when choosing between them.

What connects the two

Nutty Creamy Caramel follows SOL Cheirosa 62 through pistachio, almond, caramel and vanilla. Heliotrope, jasmine, salt and sandalwood also appear in both profiles. It is a useful pairing to explore if the nutty and salty parts matter to you as much as the sweetness.

The reference is SOL Cheirosa 62 Eau de Parfum, rather than a body mist.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Heliotrope, Pistachio, Vanilla, Caramel, Almond, Sandalwood and Jasmine. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Sol de Janeiro SOL Cheirosa ’62 Eau de Parfum lists Pistachio, Almond, Heliotrope, Jasmine, Caramel, Vanilla and Salt among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping 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 would compare the pistachio and almond against the caramel, then check the salt and sandalwood. Looking only for vanilla would miss much of this particular idea.

Which one should you choose?

For a purchase, think about what you want from this pairing: DUA’s take on pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla, or the original fragrance itself. Then compare the actual bottle sizes and current retailer terms. We would give a sample time to develop before committing to a larger bottle, especially if the balance between the fresher and sweeter notes is what matters to you.
