What Is DUA Tie Of Black a Dupe Of?

DUA Tie Of Black is a clone of Celine Black Tie. The notes point toward orris, vanilla and dry woods. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

White orris butter, cedar, tree moss, vanilla and musk appear in both lists. That makes Black Tie a particularly tidy note-led pairing. The real question is how the powdery orris, sweeter vanilla and drier woods balance one another when you try them.

How do their notes compare?

DUA Tie Of Black lists White Orris Butter, Cedar, Tree Moss, Vanilla and Musk among its notes. Celine Black Tie lists White Orris Butter, Cedar, Tree Moss, Vanilla and Musk 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 orris and vanilla after the opening settles. Matching names cannot tell you whether the cedar feels just as dry or the vanilla equally prominent.

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 Tie Of Black if you want to try this scent idea in DUA’s interpretation. Choose Celine Black Tie 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.
