You Are Enough
Side Effect on the left wrist and "Collateral Damage | The Dua Brand / Dua Fragrances" on the right wrist - I can hardly notice a difference.
In the end, I chose "Collateral Damage | The Dua Brand / Dua Fragrances" because it was simply better from the H/S.

Blind buy if you love Side Effect

I compared the initio I have with this one, they are almost identical. Just the initio is more ventilated and less compact. Excellent

Cherries bathing in Cinnamon. Slightly fruitier than Side Effect. I prefer original scent but dupe's price :)

Mmmh, yes, there's also tobacco + cinnamon like in Side Effect. But the coziness, the delicate jasmine note, the harmony - no, just synthetic!

I've noticed that all Duas somehow have the same slightly musty base DNA. The whole house isn't for me, no judgment.

Sweet and very synthetic,
you have to want that!
Typical DUA = a brutal performance.
A decent alternative to Side Effect.

Super clone of "Side Effect"! Longevity and sillage are outstanding! Typical DUA. Definitely the more affordable option. Lasts forever on me!

There’s some masculine note that “fights” against the broad sweetness and gives the scent a slight freshness; it prevents it brilliantly..

SE on one hand and CD on the other. Hardly any difference. However, CD clearly wins in longevity/sillage. Respect DUA!

Wow! Sweet, spicy vanilla with plenty of punch. Perfect for the colder days and absolutely unisex!
