What Is DUA Magic Of Hibiscus a Dupe Of?

The original behind DUA Magic Of Hibiscus is Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajád. It is DUA’s clone of that scent, with rose, cassis, mint and leather as the useful starting point for a comparison. Here is what connects the two and what we would pay attention to when choosing between them.

What connects the two

Magic Of Hibiscus follows Hibiscus Mahajád through rose, cassis, vanilla, leather, cinnamon and ambrette. DUA names hibiscus and peppermint, while the original catalog names spearmint. Those labels stay separate rather than being rewritten to make the lists look identical.

The reference is Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajád Extrait.

How do their notes compare?

DUA gives this scent a single note list. Its listed notes include Damask Rose, Peppermint, Hibiscus, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Leather and Ambrette. Those are useful points to look for when trying the DUA scent.

Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajád lists Damask Rose, Vanilla, Leather, Spearmint, Cassis, Ambrette and Cinnamon among its notes. The full profiles above show the rest, keeping each scent’s own labels and structure. A note list describes the idea; it does not tell you the proportions or guarantee that two fragrances develop the same way.

What would we compare on skin?

We would compare the fruit and mint against the rose and leather. It is the relationship between those contrasting notes that makes the pairing worth exploring.

Which one should you choose?

For a purchase, think about what you want from this pairing: DUA’s take on rose, cassis, mint and leather, or the original fragrance itself. Then compare the actual bottle sizes and current retailer terms. We would give a sample time to develop before committing to a larger bottle, especially if the balance between the fresher and sweeter notes is what matters to you.
