Dossier Ambery Rose
Dossier Ambery Rose is a $49 fragrance that Dossier itself positions as inspired by Parfums de Marly's Delina. Both published pyramids describe a lychee-and-rose composition, though the strictly matched note overlap is thin, so the comparison rests mainly on the brand's own claim and community discussion.
In short: Ambery Rose is Dossier's openly declared inspired-by take on Delina — a fruity rose in the same register, not the same fragrance. Our editorial similarity assessment is 7/10, leaning on the official positioning and community comparison more than on computed note overlap.

What Is Dossier Ambery Rose a Dupe For?
Dossier Ambery Rose targets one of the most requested reference scents in the affordable-alternative space: Parfums de Marly's Delina. The claim is the brand's own — Dossier's official product page describes the scent as "Inspired by Parfums de Marly's Delina." Beyond the official positioning, the pairing circulates widely in the fragrance community, from side-by-side video comparisons on YouTube and TikTok to discussion threads in fragrance groups.
One thing up front: Ambery Rose is an independent perfume aimed at the mood of Delina. It is not the original, and Dossier's own "inspired by" wording says as much.
Which Notes Do Ambery Rose and Delina Share?
Per Dossier's published pyramid, Ambery Rose opens with lychee, blackcurrant, bergamot, and grapefruit; its heart holds rose, plum, nutmeg ess, and saffron; and its base is amber, vetiver, musks, and cedarwood. Delina's documented structure runs litchi, rhubarb, bergamot, and nutmeg on top; Turkish rose, peony, musk, petalia, and vanilla in the heart; and cashmeran, incense, cedar, and Haitian vetiver in the base.
Strictly matched, note for note and position for position, the computed overlap is a single note: bergamot in the opening — roughly 8 percent of the combined lists. That understates the on-paper kinship, though, because the two pyramids keep naming close variants of the same materials: lychee versus litchi in the top, rose versus Turkish rose in the heart, nutmeg appearing in both at different levels, and vetiver, musk, and cedar-family woods populating both drydowns under slightly different names. The shared skeleton — a sparkling lychee-fruit opening over a rose heart — is visible in both lists even where the exact strings differ.
Weighing that, our editorial similarity assessment lands at 7/10: the score rests primarily on Dossier's explicit inspired-by positioning and on community comparison, with the computed overlap kept honest at its low strict value. It is an editorial judgment, not a measured value, and our confidence here is moderate rather than high.
Where Do the Two Fragrances Differ?
Delina's documented character leans on peony, vanilla, and cashmeran — a soft, musky-powdery cushion under the rose. Ambery Rose's published list instead plays up saffron and plum in the heart and a more classically ambery base. By the note lists alone, expect Ambery Rose to read somewhat warmer and spicier, while Delina's pyramid points to a fresher, more powdery fruity rose. If Delina's airy peony-vanilla texture is exactly what you love, factor in that difference.
Who Is Ambery Rose For?
At $49 per Dossier's official listing, Ambery Rose suits shoppers who want the lychee-rose direction of Delina for everyday wear without the niche price tag, and who are comfortable with a scent that shares direction rather than a duplicated formula.
