What Is DUA Magical Florals a Dupe Of?

If you are wondering what DUA Magical Florals is a dupe of, the answer is Lancôme Magie Noire EDT. The connection is rose and jasmine over patchouli, with a few details worth checking in a sample before you buy.

Why this pairing makes sense

Magie Noire is the reference. Rose, blackcurrant bud and jasmine give us the floral-green connection, with amber and patchouli offering a darker base to compare.

How do their notes compare?

For DUA Magical Florals, useful notes to follow include Bulgarian Rose, Blackcurrant Bud, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Amber and Sandalwood. Lancôme Magie Noire EDT lists Galbanum, Cassis, Cassia, Hiacynth, Bulgarian Rose and Raspberry among its own notes.

The lists give you specific things to look for, but they cannot tell you how strongly each note will come through. Two fragrances can share several notes and still put a different part of the scent first.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d pay attention to the green notes and patchouli rather than expect a simple sweet floral.

A side-by-side sample is useful here. Give the opening time to settle, then return to both scents later rather than making the call from the first spray. We’d compare the parts you enjoy wearing most, including the quieter finish.

Which bottle makes more sense?

Think about which part of this pairing you want to wear most, then compare the actual bottles on offer. DUA Magical Florals gives you DUA’s take on the idea; Lancôme Magie Noire EDT is the reference itself. We’d check bottle size, shipping and return terms before choosing. If you are unsure about the sweeter or woodier side, try a sample first.
