What Is DUA Roses And Butterflies a Dupe Of?

DUA Roses And Butterflies is a clone of By Kilian Musk Butterfly. The notes point toward rose, aldehydes and musky woods. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Roses and Butterflies follows Kilian Musk Butterfly. Aldehydes, Damask and Turkish rose, geranium, violet, ambrette and sandalwood connect the profiles. The floral notes have several supporting details here, making the musky and airy aspects worth comparing alongside the rose.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Roses And Butterflies lists Turkish Rose, Damask Rose, Musk Mallow, Sandalwood, Aldehydes and Geranium among its notes. By Kilian Musk Butterfly lists Aldehydes, Damask Rose, Turkish Rose, Geranium, Violet and Violet Leaf among its own notes.

A shared note is a starting point, rather than a promise that both scents will develop the same way. The amount of sweetness, the texture of the woods and the way the notes blend can matter as much as the names on the list.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d compare the rose with the aldehydes and ambrette. If you want a softer floral impression, give the brighter opening time before making the call.

Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can. Compare them again after the opening settles, and check how noticeable each one feels at a normal wearing distance. Let your own skin and usual setting have a say.

Which bottle makes more sense?

We’d start with DUA Roses And Butterflies if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose By Kilian Musk Butterfly if that exact original is what you want. Before ordering, compare bottle sizes, the delivered price and the retailer’s return terms. A smaller bottle or sample can be the better first step when one particular note is the reason you are interested.
