What Is DUA Favor Of Dua a Dupe Of?

DUA Favor Of Dua is a clone of Nishane Favonius. 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?

Rose, incense and woods are useful starting points for this Favonius pairing. Pink pepper, geranium, artemisia and clary sage add more aromatic details. We’d follow the rose as the opening settles and check how much space it gets beside the oud, patchouli and other woods.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Favor Of Dua lists Incense, Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Rose, Cypriol, Geranium, Artemisia and Clary Sage. Nishane Favonius lists Incense, Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Rose, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Geranium, Artemisia and Clary Sage.

Both lists include Incense, Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Rose and Geranium, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Favor Of Dua, also look for Cypriol, Oud and Cedar Wood. The original’s list also includes Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Agarwood (Oud) and Cedar.

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.
