What Is DUA Rising Star a Dupe Of?

DUA Rising Star is a clone of Tiziana Terenzi Tyl Assoluto. The notes point toward airy citrus, flowers and vanilla woods. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Rising Star follows Tiziana Terenzi Tyl Assoluto. Ozonic notes, bergamot, lemon, lavender, jasmine and rose connect the brighter side, with amber, vanilla, blackwood and musk providing further markers. The Assoluto edition is the specific reference for this pairing.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Rising Star lists Ozonic notes, Blackwood, Bergamot, Lavender, Vanilla and Jasmine among its notes. Tiziana Terenzi Tyl Assoluto lists Ozonic notes, Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, Amber and Jasmine 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 airy citrus and floral impression with the vanilla and woods. Check Tyl Assoluto on the reference bottle rather than relying on the shorter Tyl name.

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 Rising Star if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Tiziana Terenzi Tyl Assoluto 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.
