What Is DUA When In Havana a Dupe Of?

DUA When In Havana is a clone of Mugler A*Men Pure Havane. That is the original behind this pairing, with honey, tobacco, cacao and vanilla as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

When In Havana follows Pure Havane through honey, tobacco, cacao, vanilla and patchouli. Those notes make the reference clearer than the Havana name alone. We’d compare the honey with the tobacco before deciding whether this is the tobacco-gourmand direction you want.

The original is Mugler A*Men Pure Havane, rather than Pure Malt.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Tobacco Leaf, Tobacco, Benzoin, Vanilla, Honey, Patchouli and Cacao. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Mugler A*Men Pure Havane lists Honey, Tobacco, Vanilla, Cacao, Patchouli, Amber and Labdanum among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with each scent’s own labels and structure. A note list describes the idea; it does not tell you the proportions or guarantee that two fragrances develop the same way.

What would we compare on skin?

We’d check the tobacco against the honey and cacao. DUA also lists coffee and benzoin, while the original profile gives its own resin labels.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with DUA When In Havana if you want to explore honey, tobacco, cacao and vanilla in DUA’s interpretation. Choose the original if having that specific reference is the priority. Before ordering either one, compare bottle sizes, the current delivered cost and the retailer’s return policy. A sample is especially useful if one particular note is the reason you are interested.
