What Is DUA Royal Portugal a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Royal Portugal is a dupe of, the answer is Creed Bois du Portugal. This is a clone pairing built around the idea of bergamot, lavender and classic woods. We would start there, then look at the individual notes before deciding which bottle makes sense for you.

The idea behind the comparison

Royal Portugal follows Bois du Portugal through bergamot, lavender, sandalwood, cedar and vetiver. DUA also names ambergris, while the Creed catalog lists a wider citrus opening, basil and spices. The comparison is useful for exploring aromatic woods rather than a fruit-led fresh scent.

The reference is Creed Bois du Portugal.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Bergamot, Lavender, Mysore Sandalwood, Cedar, Vetiver and Ambergris. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Creed Bois du Portugal lists Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin Orange, Basil, Lavender and Spices among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping each scent’s own labels and structure. A note list describes the idea; it does not tell you the proportions or guarantee that two fragrances develop the same way.

What would we compare on skin?

We would compare the lavender against the sandalwood and cedar, then look at the citrus and spice details. The woody notes matter just as much as the first bright impression.

Which one should you choose?

If bergamot, lavender and classic woods is the idea you want to explore, this pairing is a useful place to start. We would choose between the two after checking the actual bottle size, current offer and return terms, rather than assuming one is automatically the better deal. Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can, and compare them again after the opening has settled.
