What Is DUA Floral Angel a Dupe Of?

DUA Floral Angel is a clone of Ex Nihilo Devil Tender. 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.

What’s the connection?

Peach, pink grapefruit and pink pepper lead into a rose-centered comparison. Tea, suede and heliotrope give you more to notice beyond the flowers. We’d compare the fruit against the rose, then check whether the softer notes bring the amount of sweetness you enjoy.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Floral Angel lists Pink Pepper, Peach, Pink Grapefruit, Bergamot, Rose Water, Bulgarian Rose, Tea and Suede Leather. Ex Nihilo Devil Tender lists Pink Pepper, Peach, Pink Grapefruit, Bergamot, Rose Water, Bulgarian Rose, Rose Petals and Tea.

Both lists include Pink Pepper, Peach, Pink Grapefruit, Bergamot and Rose Water, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Floral Angel, also look for Suede Leather and White Cedar Wood. The original’s list also includes Rose Petals, Suede and White Cedar Extract.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d give both fragrances a similar number of sprays on separate wrists, then come back after the opening settles. Check the parts you enjoy most: the brightness at the start, the balance through the middle and the way the finish feels close to skin.

Which one would we buy?
