What Is DUA Orchid Molecule 7.0 a Dupe Of?

DUA Orchid Molecule 7.0 is a clone of Zarkoperfume Purple Molecule 070.07 EDP. 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?

Vanilla and orchid meet magnolia, wildflowers and a musky, woody base in DUA’s version. We’d look for the balance between the floral side and the sweeter notes, since either one could become your reason for choosing the bottle.

How do the notes compare?

DUA Orchid Molecule 7.0 lists Magnolia, White Orchid, Wildflowers, Madagascar Vanilla, Sandalwood and Musk. Zarkoperfume Purple Molecule 070.07 EDP lists Magnolia, White Orchid, Wildflowers, cedar, peach, pitahaya, Madagascar Vanilla and Musk.

Both lists include Magnolia, White Orchid, Wildflowers, Madagascar Vanilla and Sandalwood, giving you a few clear points to follow in a sample. The original’s list also includes cedar, peach and pitahaya.

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.

Which one would we buy?

We’d start with DUA Orchid Molecule 7.0 if you want DUA’s interpretation of this scent.
