Dua's faithful take. Soft powdery mimosa opening, luminous jasmine and May rose heart, creamy sandalwood-musk base with a whisper of Peru balsam warmth. Slightly less raspberry lift than the LV but the airy powdery floral-musk DNA is preserved.
What is missing: a source for these scores that you can open and check. Until we have one, the scores are drawn hatched, not solid.

Heures d'Absence has one match so far. These are the closest scents by shared notes that have several.
Opens with a soft raspberry blush that keeps things bright without going fruity-sweet, then pivots quickly to a powdery mimosa and jasmine sambac heart where the real character lives — luminous, a little creamy, quietly feminine without being cloying. The rose reads more as texture than a distinct bloom. Dry-down settles into sandalwood and vanilla-musk that stays close to skin, projecting modestly with a delicate sillage that lingers rather than announces. — Warm-weather days, office to dinner, for someone who wants polished softness over statement.

Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
