What Is DUA Butterfly Effect a Dupe Of?

DUA Butterfly Effect is a clone of Nishane Papilefiko. That’s the original behind this pairing and the bottle to compare it with if you’re deciding which version of the scent to try.

Why compare these two?

Cardamom, coriander and citrus are the opening details we’d follow here. Lavender and artemisia bring an aromatic side, with fir balsam, moss and styrax later in the list. We’d give those parts time to come together before deciding which version’s balance you prefer.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Butterfly Effect lists Coriander, Cardamom, Citrus, Lavender, Artemisia, Jasmine, Fir Balsam and Moss. Nishane Papilefiko lists Cardamom, Coriander, Citruses, Lavender, Artemisia, Jasmine, Balsam Fir and Styrax.

Both lists include Coriander, Cardamom, Lavender, Artemisia and Jasmine, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Butterfly Effect, also look for Citrus and Fir Balsam. The original’s list also includes Citruses and Balsam Fir.

What would we look for in a sample?

A sample gives you room to find out which balance you enjoy. We’d try both with a similar amount, let the opening settle and come back later in the day. Pay attention to the part you most want to wear, whether that’s the first freshness or the warmer finish.
