What Is DUA Veneto Bergamot a Dupe Of?

DUA Veneto Bergamot is a clone of Tom Ford Venetian Bergamot. 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?

Bergamot, ginger and two kinds of pepper give this comparison a useful place to start. Ylang-ylang, gardenia, magnolia and woods bring other details into the picture. We’d follow the flowers after the first citrus burst, then check how much warmth the base adds around them.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Veneto Bergamot lists Bergamot, Black Pepper, Pink Pepper, Ginger, Ylang-Ylang, Gardenia, Cedarwood and Myrtle. Tom Ford Venetian Bergamot lists Bergamot, Ginger, Black Pepper, Pink Pepper, Gardenia, Ylang-Ylang, Magnolia and Cedar.

Both lists include Bergamot, Black Pepper, Pink Pepper, Ginger and Ylang-Ylang, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Veneto Bergamot, also look for Cedarwood, Myrtle and Hercules Club. The original’s list also includes Cedar and Pepperwood™.

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.
