Wonderful fragrance
Dua's Amber is a wonderful fragrance of the "always wanting to sniff your wrist" variety.
It opens with ylang-ylang over sweet ambery woods, with myrrh and vanilla. The combination immediately creates a well-rounded scent. You can wear it! Over time, the resinous, woody notes intensify, with a subtle floral hint and creamy vanilla always adding a touch of sweetness.

What I particularly like about this fragrance is that I can smell it myself all the time without becoming scent-blind and I really like it at all times. In a blind test, I would have assigned the fragrance to the "Amouage" men's fragrance brand based on its DNA and perceived, balanced complexity, but without being able to say exactly which one. On the one hand, this should mean that the quality as a whole is right, and on the other hand that I perceive the fragrance as more masculine and mature due to the woods.

If I had to draw conclusions about a person from the fragrance, I would see a sporty, dynamic man in elegant casual or business attire. Be it for a business meeting, a meal, shopping or going out in the evening. The fragrance somehow commands the wearer's respect and exudes a certain cultivated comfort with its woody warmth. It would be the perfect choice for signing a contract! Dua's Amber is definitely a striking fragrance that lasts for hours. Always with a clear sillage and presence, yet subtle enough not to overwhelm others. Fits!

Although you could call me a Xerjoff fan, I don't know the fragrance Amber Star! The purchase was too expensive for me in this case, because I already knew the white Star Musk and it didn't really inspire me as a separate fragrance. Unfortunately, Iris is not my thing, I thought... but then I layered Dua's Amber with Star Musk as a test and was very surprised at how well the two fragrances harmonize and complement each other. How classy and exquisite this combination smells! Layered like this, I would also find the fragrance very appealing on a woman. If Amber Star really smells similar to Dua's Amber, then I can really understand the idea of the "Xerjoff Shooting Stars Amber Star/Star Musk" package.

Creaky wooden hut
First of all, the Dua's Amber is actually very similar to the Amber Star. I actually noticed this particularly when I tested them one after the other. However, there are some significant differences that make the Amber Star smell much better to me.

The Dua's Amber starts off very woody. And by "very woody" I really mean so woody that you have an old, creaky wooden hut in your mind's eye. This smell is also so strong that I really didn't like having it on my skin. At the same time, however, I wanted to know whether there was a discernible progression and whether this possible progression could perhaps improve the fragrance somewhat. And the progression came, but it came very late. First and foremost, Dua's Amber became sweeter over time and then, after a few hours, reached the point where the sweetness almost harmonized with the exaggerated woodiness, but even then only almost I still find it exciting how differently people here perceive the Dua fragrances, especially this one.
Unfortunately, I find it unpleasant overall. The difference to Amber Star really lies in the dosage of sweetness and the woodiness is not quite as strong. This has created a much more harmonious fragrance.

As I said, it may smell completely different on other people, but the way it smells to me, it is extremely masculine and very heavy, so definitely made for colder temperatures.

Longevity and sillage are good, but don't come close to Amber Star. But the price is okay. Perhaps not so much when extrapolated to 100 ml, but the size of Dua's bottle is still pretty good.

However, since some people here describe it as a dupe that they like quite well and that it comes very close to Amber Star, I would still advise you to try it out if possible, especially if you are specifically looking for an Amber Star dupe.
