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.

diptyque is a brand that I adore, and Eau Duelle is my favourite fragrance from their impressive line of scents. This EDT came out in 2010, and an EDP followed in 2013. I tend to use the EDP more,...

A beautiful, fresh opening ( juniper, ginger, cypress?) that does not fade too quickly, balanced by a warm and cozy vanilla musk (non-candy, non-cloying), giving it the duality in the name...

I sampled this and now I wish I hadn't because it's so comforting and nice, but it's a perfume I think that would work better in fall and winter so I might purchase it then. We'll see. It smells...

Love it! If you want a vanilla without smelling like a cookie (the Jessica Simpson line comes to mind) this is tasteful elegant and subtle. And lasts on me all day. Worth the money. You get what...

Someone recommended it so I sprayed it on in the store. At first was like, "ew" then it grew on me. I refuse to pay for it, but everytime I go to the store, I spray it all over me. Lower the...

Sorry folks, I hated this one. Normally rich, woody vanillas are right up my alley but Eau Duelle leaves me feeling queasy. The vanilla has a distinctly indigestible feeling--sickly sweet and...

Certainly not "young" and fresh, but more mature and ridiculously elegant. Starts out as a light, but distinctly apt version of Fendi's old Theorema; a beautiful, Oriental, Spicy fragrance. As far...

This is sooo pretty but I have to ask...does this not remind anyone of POTL? It's a dead-ringer to me and much less expensive. Plus, I love the fact that it comes in a solid form for travel. Love...

I would have loved an incense-and-cardamom vanilla, but alas, this is almost entirely straight-up bourbon vanilla on me, from start to finish. Too sweet, too heavy. Not sure what happened here. But...

Aaah, Eau Duelle...it is so comforting and cozy. The opening is reminiscent of a vanilla gin martini - herbally, dry, with a hint of creamy vanilla. I get a lot of cardamom and juniper at the...
