The review
Dua’s Blondie scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Violet Blonde.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Violet Blonde's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 it costs 70% less than Violet Blonde.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Tom Ford Violet Blonde is mandarin orange, pink pepper and baie rose at first, orris, jasmine and violet at its heart and suede, musk and benzoin at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- mandarin orange
- pink pepper
- baie rose
Heart
- orris
- jasmine
- violet
Base
- suede
- musk
- benzoin
Powdery orris and violet over soft suede and musk; elegant, retro and quietly sophisticated.
