What Is DUA Paris Boutique 312 a Dupe Of?

DUA Paris Boutique 312 is a clone of BDK Parfums 312 Saint-Honoré. 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?

312 Saint-Honoré is the reference. Pink pepper, angelica and orange blossom sit with iris, tonka and musky or woody ingredients in the listed profiles. We’d compare the flowers against that softer base. If orange blossom brought you to the pairing, give the samples time so you can judge more than the first bright impression.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Paris Boutique 312 lists Brazilian Pink Berry Extract, Pink Berry Leaf, French Angelica Roots, Orange Blossom, Tonka Bean, Iris, Ambroxan and Amber Musks. BDK Parfums 312 Saint-Honoré lists Pink Pepper, Angelica Root, Iris, Orange Blossom, Tonka Bean, White Musk, Ambroxan and Ambrostar™.

Both lists include Orange Blossom, Tonka Bean, Iris and Ambroxan, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Paris Boutique 312, also look for Brazilian Pink Berry Extract, Pink Berry Leaf, French Angelica Roots and Amber Musks. The original’s list also includes Pink Pepper, Angelica Root, White Musk and Ambrostar™.

What would we look for in a sample?

A sample gives you room to find out which balance you enjoy. We’d try both with a similar amount, let the opening settle and come back later in the day. Pay attention to the part you most want to wear, whether that’s the first freshness or the warmer finish.
