The Scoop
Rosa Nectar captures the fruity-floral elegance and woody-spiced backbone of Portrait of a Lady quite competently, with the black currant and raspberry creating that signature tart opening. The rose-cinnamon heart is present and properly balanced, though the clone may lack slightly in the depth and complexity of the original's incense and amber interplay in the base. Longevity and sillage are respectable but typically fall short of the designer's exceptional performance.
Key Differences
The clone delivers similar note progression but with less refinement in base note blending; Portrait of a Lady exhibits more sophisticated spice-amber-incense layering that Rosa Nectar struggles to fully replicate. Longevity is notably shorter on the clone, with the designer version maintaining presence for 8+ hours versus the clone's typical 5-6 hour performance.

What wearers say
“This is the first Dua dupe I've been truly disappointed by. I love POAL, it's one of my very favorite rose perfumes. This Dua version smells like cat urine. Not similar too....exactly like it. I've sprayed it out quite a bit and have put it away to hopefully mellow. Maybe I got a bad batch....unfortunately I can't recommend this Dua dupe.”
