What Is DUA Rose & Chocolate Kisses a Dupe Of?

Why compare these two?

Rose and dark chocolate are the obvious points of interest, with violet, raspberry and myrrh alongside them. We’d compare how much space the chocolate gets around the flowers. If one part of that combination matters more to you than the others, spend some time following it in a sample.

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.
