What Is DUA Poetic Berlin a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Poetic Berlin is a dupe of, the answer is Vilhelm Parfumerie Poets Of Berlin EDP. The connection is blueberry, vanilla and woody iris, with a few details worth checking in a sample before you buy.

Why this pairing makes sense

Poets of Berlin is the reference. Blueberry and lemon give us a fruity starting point, with vanilla, orris and sandalwood providing a softer part of the comparison.

How do their notes compare?

For DUA Poetic Berlin, useful notes to follow include Blueberry, Lemon, Vanilla, Green Wild Orris, Sandalwood and Vetiver. Vilhelm Parfumerie Poets Of Berlin EDP lists Blueberry, Lemon, Bamboo, Orris, Vanilla and Sandalwood 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 check how the fruit sits beside the vanilla and drier woody notes.

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 Poetic Berlin gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Vilhelm Parfumerie Poets Of Berlin EDP 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.
