What Is DUA Poisonous Kiss a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA Poisonous Kiss is Ex Nihilo Venenum Kiss. It is a clone pairing built around saffron and rose with warm resins. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Saffron, nutmeg and neroli provide the opening details to compare. Rose sits alongside amber and vanilla, with styrax and sandalwood giving the warmer part of the pairing a more specific shape.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA Poisonous Kiss include Sandalwood, Artemisia, Vanilla, Saffron, Styrax and Nutmeg. Ex Nihilo Venenum Kiss lists Saffron, Nutmeg, Neroli, Rose, Amber and Artemisia 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 look at the spice-to-rose balance first. Check how much sweetness the vanilla adds beside the resins in the quieter finish.

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 Poisonous Kiss and Ex Nihilo Venenum Kiss, 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.
