Eau Duelle
Eau Duelle by Diptyque is an unisex eau de toilette from 2010 in the premium price tier. It opens with cardamom, pink pepper and bergamot, moves into frankincense, elemi and saffron and dries down to vanilla, benzoin and musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
