Ethereal Sea captures the fresh, aquatic essence of Aqva Amara reasonably well, with a comparable citrus-neroli opening and woody-resinous base structure. However, Dua's interpretation tends to emphasize the watery, ozonic aspects more heavily while softening the distinctive Indonesian patchouli leaf character that gives the original its earthy sophistication.
The clone leans more aquatic and less herbal-woody than the original, with diminished patchouli presence and less prominent olibanum warmth. Longevity and sillage are typically lighter in the Dua version compared to Bvlgari's more pronounced projection.
