What Is DUA Poetic Poppy a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA Poetic Poppy is Lancôme Poeme EDP. It is a clone pairing built around floral sweetness with a vanilla base. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Poême is the reference. Poppy, orange blossom, mimosa and jasmine give us a broad floral direction, with vanilla providing another part of the balance to compare.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA Poetic Poppy include Blue Himalayan Poppy, Lychee Blossom, Orange Blossom, Mimosa, Jasmine and Vanilla. Lancôme Poeme EDP lists Narcissus, Datura, Peach, Plum, Himalayan Poppy and Mandarin Orange among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d check how rich the flowers feel and whether the vanilla makes them sweeter than we want.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for DUA Poetic Poppy and Lancôme Poeme EDP, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
