What Is DUA Florals Of Bali a Dupe Of?

DUA Florals Of Bali is a clone of Nectar Olfactif Etoile de Bali. 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?

Etoile de Bali is the fragrance behind this comparison. DUA’s list brings together citrus, freesia, lily and honey with a green note and a musky, woody finish. That gives you a more specific starting point than simply calling it floral. We’d pay attention to the honey and greenery, especially if you prefer flowers with something a little different around them.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Florals Of Bali lists Bergamot, Mandarin, Freesia, Lily, Honey, Vegetal, Sandalwood and Musk. Nectar Olfactif Etoile de Bali lists Freesia, Mandarin, Bergamot, Honey, Gardenia, Lily, Jasmine and Green Notes.

Both lists include Bergamot, Mandarin, Freesia, Lily and Honey, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. For DUA Florals Of Bali, also look for Vegetal. The original’s list also includes Gardenia, Jasmine, Green Notes and Hibiscus.

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.
