What Is DUA Vetivero a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Vetivero is a dupe of, the answer is Roja Parfums Vetiver Pour Homme Parfum. The connection is citrus over a dry vetiver base, with a few details worth checking in a sample before you buy.

Why this pairing makes sense

DUA names Roja’s Vetiver Extrait, so this guide uses Vetiver Pour Homme Parfum. Lemon, vetiver and earthy woods are the main things to follow across the two note lists.

How do their notes compare?

For DUA Vetivero, useful notes to follow include Guaiac Wood, Vetiver, Egyptian Jasmine, Litsea Cubeba, Rose and Oakmoss. Roja Parfums Vetiver Pour Homme Parfum lists Lemon, Bergamot, Labdanum, Rose de Mai, Jasmine and Vetiver among its own notes.

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the dry vetiver character using the Parfum reference rather than the separate Parfum Cologne.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.

Which bottle makes more sense?

Think about which part of this pairing you want to wear most, then compare the actual bottles on offer. DUA Vetivero gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Roja Parfums Vetiver Pour Homme Parfum is the reference itself. We’d check bottle size, shipping and return terms before choosing. If you are unsure about the sweeter or woodier side, try a sample first.
