Fragrance Notes
- Top: Lychee, Rhubarb
- Heart: Rose
- Base: Soft Musk
A fresh fruity floral fragrance, light, slightly tart, and softly sweet.
What Does It Smell Like?
Duchess opens with a crisp, juicy burst of lychee and rhubarb, fresh, slightly tart, and bright. It then softens into a delicate rose with light, airy sweetness. The dry down is clean soft musk, skin-like freshness, and a subtle feminine finish.
Think fresh pink florals. Clean and pretty. Light, airy, and effortlessly put together.
Duchess vs. Duchess Exclusif
Both fragrances share the same bright fruity floral DNA inspired by the Delina scent family, but they wear very differently.
Duchess — 30ml EDP, $48. The lighter, fresher interpretation. Bright lychee and rhubarb up front, soft rose heart, clean musk dry down. Moderate longevity, sits closer to the skin. Your everyday reach.
Duchess Exclusif — 30ml EDP, $48. ALT's elevated take on the same scent family. Creamier, stronger, and more luxurious — the same lychee-rose opening but with a richer creamy woods base that adds depth and projection. Longer lasting with stronger sillage. Your special occasion or signature scent.
Same starting point, two very different finishes. If you want light and breezy, choose Duchess. If you want creamy and unforgettable, choose Duchess Exclusif.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Duchess inspired by Delina by Parfums de Marly?
Yes. Duchess is inspired by the fruity rose scent profile that made Delina by Parfums de Marly iconic. ALT. doesn't claim it's an exact copy, but the bright lychee-rhubarb opening and soft rose heart are unmistakably familiar at a fraction of the price.
What is the difference between Duchess and Duchess Exclusif?
Duchess is lighter, fresher, and more everyday, a soft fruity floral that sits close to the skin. Duchess Exclusif is ALT's own elevated interpretation of the same scent family, creamier and more intense with a richer woods base, stronger projection, and longer longevity. Same DNA, very different experience. If you love Duchess but want more presence, Exclusif is your next step.
Is this a strong fragrance?
No, Duchess is intentionally light and fresh. It's designed for everyday wear and sits closer to the skin than most florals. If you want stronger projection, try Duchess Exclusif instead.
Is it sweet?
It has a soft fruity sweetness from the lychee and rhubarb, but it stays light and balanced. Nothing heavy or sugary.
Is Duchess for women only?
Duchess leans feminine with its fruity rose profile, but fragrance has no rules. Those who love light clean florals regardless of gender will find it wearable.
How long does a 30ml bottle last?
With typical daily use of 2 to 3 sprays, a 30ml bottle lasts approximately 2 to 3 months.
Can I layer Duchess with other fragrances?
Yes, it layers beautifully with clean musks or light vanilla bases. Many people layer it with ALT. Bella Vita for a softer, warmer floral experience.
