What Is ALT Fragrances Duchess a Dupe Of?

ALT Fragrances Duchess is a clone of Parfums de Marly Delina. That is the original behind this pairing, with rose, lychee, rhubarb and soft woods as the starting point for a comparison.

Why this pairing makes sense

Rose, lychee and rhubarb are useful anchors here, with citrus and nutmeg around them. ALT’s chart also names vetiver, incense and cedar in its floral section. Those details are worth checking if you want more from the pairing than a sweet lychee-and-rose opening.

How do their notes compare?

ALT lists a top, middle and base structure for this scent. Its listed notes include Bergamot, Nutmeg, Rhubarb, Lychee, Turkish Rose, Vetiver and Incense. That gives you a few specific notes to look for in a sample.

Parfums de Marly Delina lists Litchi, Rhubarb, Bergamot, Nutmeg, Turkish Rose, Peony and Musk among its notes. You can see the complete profiles above, with 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?

Check the tart fruit against the rose, then compare the softer woods and vanilla. We would pay attention to how much of the rhubarb impression you notice after the opening.

Which one should you choose?

We’d start with ALT Fragrances Duchess if you want to explore rose, lychee, rhubarb and soft woods in ALT’s interpretation. Choose the original if having that specific reference is the priority. Before ordering either one, compare bottle sizes, the current delivered cost and the retailer’s return policy. A sample is especially useful if one particular note is the reason you are interested.
