What Is DUA Poseidon's Elixir 2.0 a Dupe Of?

DUA Poseidon's Elixir 2.0 is a clone of Creed Aventus EDP with a fruitier twist. 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.

What kind of scent is it going for?

Aventus is the reference, with DUA specifically describing this version as a fruitier take. Its current pyramid names apple, pineapple and blackcurrant, followed by jasmine, birch, patchouli and vanilla. We’d compare that fruity side against the woods rather than expecting a recreation of one particular dated batch. The guide uses the regular Aventus catalog reference.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Poseidon's Elixir 2.0 lists Apple, Pineapple, Blackcurrant, Jasmine, Birch, Patchouli and Vanilla. Creed Aventus EDP lists Bergamot, Black Currant, Apple, Lemon, Pink Pepper, Pineapple, Patchouli and Moroccan Jasmine.

Both lists include Apple, Pineapple, Birch and Patchouli, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Poseidon's Elixir 2.0, also look for Blackcurrant, Jasmine and Vanilla. The original’s list also includes Bergamot, Black Currant, Lemon and Pink Pepper.

What would we look for in a sample?

Try a similar amount of each on separate wrists and give them some time. Come back to both after the first burst has settled, then check them again later. We’d focus on the notes that made you interested in the pairing in the first place.

Which one would we buy?

We’d start with DUA Poseidon's Elixir 2.0 if you want DUA’s interpretation of this scent. If the original’s exact balance is what you love, Creed Aventus EDP is the reference to try.
