What Is DUA Plumlicious a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Plumlicious is a dupe of, the answer is Tom Ford Plum Japonais. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of plum, cinnamon and resinous woods. We would start there, then look at the individual notes before deciding which bottle makes sense for you.

The idea behind the comparison

Plumlicious points to Plum Japonais, whose profile combines Japanese plum, cinnamon, saffron and resinous woods. Both catalog lists include immortelle, camellia, oud, amber, benzoin and fir. DUA’s fruit-related labels differ from the original’s, so we keep the lists intact rather than rewriting them to match.

The reference is Tom Ford Plum Japonais.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Prunella, Saffron, Rumex, Cinnamon, Immortelle, Camellia and Agarwood (Oud). Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Tom Ford Plum Japonais lists Cinnamon, Saffron, Japanese Plum, Plum Blossom, Immortelle, Liquor and Cypress 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 fruit impression against the spices and resins. This is worth exploring for the plum-and-wood idea, rather than expecting a simple sweet fruit fragrance.

Which one should you choose?

If plum, cinnamon and resinous woods is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We would choose between the two 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.
