What Is DUA Water Of The Senses a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind DUA Water Of The Senses is Diptyque Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette. It is a clone pairing built around bitter orange, blossom and greenery. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

Bitter orange and orange blossom give two sides of the same citrus idea. Juniper, angelica and patchouli add greener details, making this more interesting to compare than a simple sweet orange description might suggest.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for DUA Water Of The Senses include Angelica root, Bitter orange tree, Juniper berry, Orange blossom and Patchouli. Diptyque Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette lists Orange Blossom, Bitter Orange, Juniper Berries, Angelica and Patchouli among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

Compare the blossom with the bitter citrus. We'd look for the herbal and earthy details too, especially if you prefer less sweetness.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for DUA Water Of The Senses and Diptyque Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
