What Is DUA Sleepless Night a Dupe Of?

DUA Sleepless Night is a clone of By Kilian Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi. 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?

Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi is the reference. Ylang-ylang, tuberose and gardenia sit with rose, vanilla and woods in DUA’s list. We’d pay attention to the white flowers as well as the sweeter base notes. If you enjoy tuberose in particular, see how you feel about the other flowers around it once the opening settles.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Sleepless Night lists Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Gardenia, Vanilla, Bulgarian Rose, Sandalwood and Cedar Wood. By Kilian Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi lists Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Gardenia, Bulgarian Rose, Litchi, Vanilla and Sandalwood.

Both lists include Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Gardenia, Vanilla and Bulgarian Rose, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Sleepless Night, also look for Cedar Wood. The original’s list also includes Neroli, Litchi and Cedar.

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.
