description

An ode to travel and vanilla. Along the spice route, the vanilla at the heart of Eau Duelle takes on new aromas: luminous, addictive accents of calamus and dark, smoky nuances of cypriol. Travelling through time and over borders, Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar reveals itself between darkness and light. The vanilla bean is the fruit of the orchid flower. Harvested while still green, it must undergo a maturation process of thirty-four months: it is dried slowly so that all of its subtle, sweet perfume can develop fully.

This perfume really surprised me, as I had some idea in my head that Diptque only made heavy headachey scents. Salesgirl at Fred Segal convinced me to sniff Eau Duelle, and I was intrigued. ...

Notes: cardamom, elemi resin, juniper berries, saffron, tea and amber. This fragrance opens with a delicate, almost edible vanilla accord. Simply delicious, the accord reminds me of a...

I tried this because I was intrigued by the notes. I hoped that it would be "different." You see, I am not a lover of vanilla scents, yet, I'm always hoping to find a special one that doesn't end...

It's not so much that I would buy again, it's that once I get enough money together I will buy this. It's a lovely vanilla scent that is warm, sensual, cozy and not foody or gourmand. I have a...

Would you care for a gin and tonic? Eau Duelle opens with a refreshing and bitter splash that smells just like this classic drink, it even has a hint of citrusy lime on the side. But the gin...

I am of two minds about this fragrance. It could be that I'm partially anosmic to it, but I have never been able to smell it very well, although it is admittedly pretty. I find that it has very...

I never, ever want to be without this. Never. This may be the fragrance of my life. From the moment I received a spray sample of it in my beautyhabit order before Christmas, I knew I had to have...

Dual indeed. Some days it's a vanilla martini, all fresh juniper and vanilla, drying down to a cool, rounded, dry vanilla pudding. Other days it's a plush bookstore, sophisticated, new, rich. Some...

Oh. My. God. Eau Duelle is truly lovely and definitely FBW. I wish I could give a better review of the individual notes (and I'm usually good at picking them out), but this is so wonderfully...

I really only tried this one based on a few raves I've seen here, Diptyque doesn't usually do it for me, aside from Oyedo which I would still rather sniff in the bottle than wear. So I was very...

I was looking for a wintery parfume that is not too strong and SA recommended to try this one. I really like it! It has a very "comforty" feel about it, but at the same time it's not overpowering....

I always believed that a fragrance should transcend its disperate elements. That it should not be so much as a marriage but an offspring containing characteristics of its parents but different...
