What Is DUA Taboo Games a Dupe Of?

DUA Taboo Games is a clone of By Kilian Forbidden Games. The notes point toward orchard fruit, flowers and honey. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Peach, apple and plum give the comparison its fruity outline. Rose and jasmine add a floral thread, while honey, vanilla and opoponax bring a warmer sweetness to follow as well.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Taboo Games lists Bourbon Geranium, Bulgarian Rose, Cinnamon, Opoponax, Vanilla and Jasmine among its notes. By Kilian Forbidden Games lists Peach, Apple, Plum, Cinnamon, Bulgarian Rose and Jasmine among its own notes.

A shared note is a starting point, rather than a promise that both scents will develop the same way. The amount of sweetness, the texture of the woods and the way the notes blend can matter as much as the names on the list.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the honey with the fruit’s tartness. Notice whether the flowers stay visible in the overall impression as the scent settles.

Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can. Compare them again after the opening settles, and check how noticeable each one feels at a normal wearing distance. Let your own skin and usual setting have a say.

Which bottle makes more sense?

We’d start with DUA Taboo Games if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose By Kilian Forbidden Games if that exact original is what you want. Before ordering, compare bottle sizes, the delivered price and the retailer’s return terms. A smaller bottle or sample can be the better first step when one particular note is the reason you are interested.
