What Is DUA Roman Britain a Dupe Of?

DUA Roman Britain is a clone of Boadicea the Victorious Britannia. 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.

Why compare these two?

Britannia is the original behind Roman Britain. Cardamom and coriander appear with neroli, orange blossom, leather, amber and ambergris in the listed profile. We’d pay attention to the flowers alongside the spices and warmer ingredients. If leather brought you to the pairing, check how you feel about that brighter floral side as well.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Roman Britain lists Cardamom, Coriander, Amber, Neroli, Orange Blossom, Leather, Woods and Ambergris. Boadicea the Victorious Britannia lists Amber, Cardamom, Coriander, Neroli, Orange Blossom, Leather, Ambergris and Woodsy Notes.

Both lists include Cardamom, Coriander, Amber, Neroli and Orange Blossom, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Roman Britain, also look for Woods. The original’s list also includes Woodsy Notes.

What would we look for in a sample?

A sample gives you room to find out which balance you enjoy. We’d try both with a similar amount, let the opening settle and come back later in the day. Pay attention to the part you most want to wear, whether that’s the first freshness or the warmer finish.

Which one would we buy?
