Yes! If you're searching for a Bora Bora Giardini di Toscana dupe, Hug Of Flowers offers a strikingly similar experience, capturing the floral elegance and creamy warmth of the original.
While inspired by Bora Bora Giardini di Toscana, this scent brings its own charm with a carefully blended bouquet of Tiare Flower, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Apricot, enhanced by the luxurious depth of Vanilla, Caramel, and Amber.
Absolutely! The combination of White Musk, Amber, and Caramel creates a lingering scent trail, ensuring a lasting impression throughout the day.
Yes, the notes of Tiare Flower, Coconut Milk, and Apricot evoke a lush, sun-drenched paradise—perfect for those who love warm, floral, and creamy fragrances.
Its rich floral heart and soft gourmand base make it a versatile scent—ideal for romantic evenings, sunny getaways, or any time you want to feel wrapped in an elegant, Bora Bora-inspired embrace.
It has a moderate-to-strong sillage, leaving a delicate yet memorable fragrance trail, much like its Bora Bora Giardini di Toscana counterpart.
It beautifully balances both! The Tiare Flower, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang create a rich floral bouquet, while Vanilla, Caramel, and Coconut Milk add a creamy sweetness.
Yes! If you love amplifying your floral or gourmand perfumes, layering Hug Of Flowers with a soft vanilla or coconut-based scent can enhance its luxurious warmth.
It shares the lounge-like warmth of Replica Jazz, while also appealing to those who enjoy Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford or the textural depth found in Le Labo creations. As a Maison Margiela Jazz Club dupe, it feels smoother and more intimate than many louder tobacco perfumes.

This fragrance is beautiful!!! I think it is even better than the original maybe. Oh my goodness it smells divine!
"On a golden tropical shore, a bronze-skinned woman walks barefoot through the warm sand, tiare flowers woven into her dark hair. The air around her shimmers with the scent of jasmine and coconut milk, drifting like sunlight over calm waves. As she moves, her gold dress catches the light, leaving a trail of vanilla and caramel warmth that lingers like the memory of a kiss. The fragrance feels alive-lush, creamy, and kissed by salt and sun. Hug of flowers is her aura: radiant, soft, and unforgettable, like paradise captured in scent."
This was a successful blind buy! I'm fickle when it comes to florals. They either give me a headache or not. I think heavy Jasmine might be the culprit, but I'm not sure yet. This scent is beautifully blended. At first I thought I could smell lilacs, but then other florals came through, creating a sweet bouquet of goodness. This is not a heavy floral, so it's perfect for spring/ summer. Stand alone or could be layered with other scents to give it a floral touch.
This is such a beautiful floral scent, and I agree with other reviews that say the name fits it perfectly. It's like being in a tropical garden. I have no idea if it smells like the og but also don't want to because this one is perfect to me.
this literally smells like a hug from flowers. lol. i really love how it smells like flowers, but, not annoyingly… it is creamy flower goodness, so blended, beautifully. some of the notes that are in there are a little harder to detect until the drydown & then you end up getting whiffs of vanilla- amber goodness. just, beautifully done. very lovely. very sweet. very cheery. very sunny. very wonderful fragrance.
Have not smelled the OG and am not a big floral person but this is sooo good! Have been reaching for it most days since I first tried it. Will definitely buy it again!
This seems to be a little more floral than the og, I was looking for a little more coconut forward scent but I will let it sit for a while and see if it develops more. Still a pretty scent!
I’m not big on florals but this is such a pretty, feminine scent. The jasmine and tiare are soft, not screechy and and fade nicely in the drydown to a beautiful vanilla with hints of caramel and coconut milk. Really beautiful
Oh my, this is intoxicating.This is the most beautiful tropical floral fragrance I have ever smelled.im ordering another bottle as soon as it available again.O.M.G it's good❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This fragrance is everything! I blind bought and was so happy i did . The notes are flowers , musk , caramel, coconut milk and vanilla. You Literally cant go wrong !
This is not a harsh flower bomb, but is very expressive & effervescent with the happiest bouquet of flowers. My nose enjoys this combo of tropical Tiara, smooth caramel and oozing amber to tie it together~ perfect.
This is such a beautiful scent. I have Borabora also and they smell identical to my nose. Great job DUA! I will repurchase Hug of Flowers again once I run out of both fragrances. The dupes are winning they are so much more affordable. I paid $170 for Borabora . Hug of Flowers is $33
This!!! I’m not heavy floral person and at first spray I didn’t like this it smelled heavy floral then one minute went by and oh my the tropical goodness and magic came out and it is beautiful just like a warm hug . It’s kinda like Marc Jacob’s daisy soaked in Cocunut milk .. it’s a great one . I can’t stop smelling my wrist when I wear this .
The OG does not have many good reviews, some stating that it is old fashioned and too heady, so I delayed buying this. Well, I was missing out big time. It is amazing. Very similar to Sea Water tiare with the gardenia-like tiare and the custardy almost banana-like ylang ylang note, but without any subtle camphor floral notes as that one. I also love Sea Water Tiare but it is louder, while Hug Of Flowers is more calming and creamier than Sea Water Tiare, from the caramel I suppose and the coconut milk and jasmolactone which also has a coconut milk scent to it as a note. Both are must-haves imo.
A Sweet Tropical Treat
This one need 2 months to sit- it completely changed for the better. I put it in the back of my perfume shelf and now its perfect timing because the weather is warming up. I am enjoying the vacation-like experience I get when I spray this on. You must enjoy sweet floral coco-nutty perfumes to like this one! Its long lasting and strong so you don't need much to smell gorgeous.
Omg!!! Where do I start. This is probably one of my favorite DUA FRAGRANCES. It’s in my top 3 for sure. The name is exactly what it is. It smells like a warm cozy floral hug. I smell love and warmth and beauty. This was just so beautiful. Definitely BUB worthy. It will definitely always be replenished in my collection.
Imagine blending creamy white florals- jasmine, ylang-ylang, magnolia- into coconut cream. That is this scent! It starts out very floral, so don’t be scared. The top notes fade and you are left with a beautiful and creamy coconut with a supporting cast of white florals. You will definitely be transported to Bora Bora! And it lasts all day!
Heavy tropical yellow floral sunscreen bomb
As always, gotta give Dua frags time to sit before passing final judgement! I've only given this a few weeks, so it'll keep changing, but it's already much better. I was initially knocked back with how wet and heavy and rich it is - it will definitely choke out some folk, so take care.
This perfume is a very beautiful, very heavy, summery, tropical yellow floral with an abundance of sunscreen. It feels humid, like you can feel the mist in hot air. It smells like a rich westerner's concept of a tropical vacation.
Misted on, that heaviness lightens up somewhat and the warm, blissful florals that are sweetened up with caramel and vanilla (I can't pick out the notes, but they lend to the sweetness and weight) waft around you. Would be very edible, except for the sunscreen and that we usually don't eat flowers unless they're candied.
Super feminine, elegant, and overstated. Not for being subtle. Would be great for a destination wedding or honeymoon or beach vacation. Would be a very comforting reminder of how Mom smelled on summer vacations :)
This is a smell of flowers that I will use more for the spring and summer. I love this scent and all the fragrances I have from DUA. They all last for hours and I receive more compliments on how good I smell.
Hug of Flowers!
I love the way this warms up on my skin. The initial spray is very powdery floral. It’s like a heavy dose of tropical white flowers. The dry down brings the coconut and hints of caramel all while still giving a powdery essence . To me, this can be worn year round but will shine in the spring/summer. I love it.
Floral with gourmand
It is the perfect blend of floral with gourmand. This smells heavenly. I am wowed! If you are on the fence, get this sidebar, this was a blind buy, and a good one at that.
Tropical Flowers
I got this bottle a few weeks ago and sprayed once as recommended by the top contributors or Dua's FB page and let it rest a bit. This is a Hug of Flowers, they are promiment, tropical flowers dipped in coconut cream (not milk) as it leans sweet. I am enjoying this scent. It is a keeper since I live in a warmer climate in the tropics.
Excellent fragrance every time I’m out men and women asked me what type of cologne are you wearing and it will last all day unlike other colognes. I have washed clothes and can still smell it afterwards, I will always be a customer
This is THE ONE 🤩🤩🤩
I discovered this fragrance house about six months ago, and like many of you reading this review, I fell down a very slippery and treacherous rabbit hole lol. More than 100 mostly beautiful fragrances later I can honestly say that this one takes the absolute m*therf*cking cake. **THE WHOLE CAKE!** It’s the perfect amount of everything and to put it simply, I’ve never smelled a perfume that I can say smells more like “me” to me - I literally got teary from the first sniff 🥲 I truly could never get tired of this. I want to smell like this every day. I want people to remember me by this fragrance, and I have never been a signature fragrance person. When I die, I want my corpse to smell like this!! Recently when Dua had their huge Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, I ordered three back up bottles. THREE!! And still, I feel like I may have underestimated by only getting three, honestly 🤷🏼♀️ The fragrance itself is dreamy - a bouquet of luscious tropical white flowers in the hot midday sun, sparkling with a generous dusting of musky, intensely sweet vanilla sugar crystals…. Sigh. It’s everything. This is a wedding day fragrance if I ever smelled a wedding day fragrance! Hot tip: layer this with Aoud Intense Sunlight for the ultimate feminine glamour experience - thank me later 😉
Not Your Baby??
I’m obsessed with Phlur and more so, Not Your Baby. This perfume is almost identical to it. I don’t know what the OG(BoraBora)smells like but I am HOOKED on this one. I am so happy because I’m almost out of my bottle NYB and it’s $98. Keep on keepin on Dua!! 💛
