What Is DUA Sunlight Daydream a Dupe Of?

DUA Sunlight Daydream is a clone of Hermès Jour d'Hermes. 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’s the connection?

Grapefruit, lemon, gardenia and sweet pea make this Jour d’Hermès pairing worth exploring if you enjoy fresh florals. We’d compare the flowers against the watery and green notes, then follow the softer musk and woods later. The floral balance is the part to spend time with in a sample.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Sunlight Daydream lists Grapefruit, Lemon, Watery Notes, White Flowers, Gardenia, Green Notes, Sweet Pea and Musk. Hermès Jour d'Hermes lists Grapefruit, Lemon, Watery Notes, White Flowers, Gardenia, Green Notes, Sweet Pea and Musk.

Both lists include Grapefruit, Lemon, Watery Notes, White Flowers and Gardenia, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d give both fragrances a similar number of sprays on separate wrists, then come back after the opening settles. Check the parts you enjoy most: the brightness at the start, the balance through the middle and the way the finish feels close to skin.
