Eau Duelle
This fragrance opens with a delicate, almost edible vanilla accord. Simply delicious, the accord reminds me of a vanilla-lemon custard, or a vanilla-lemon cake. This gourmand impression is soon shattered by the appearance of juniper and elemi resin which I see as pepper and incense. The scent remains sweet and vanilla-dominated, but I'd place it now in the same category as the non-gourmand Vanille Insensee by Atelier Cologne. This Dyptique, however, has more presence and sparkle. The fragrance sheds most of its sugary and citrusy facets as it develops - the emphasis is now more on the vanilla, resin and smoky tea notes. The dry down can be described as a flat vanilla framed by a sheer veil of smoke.

The Case for Quiet Fragrances
I’ve never been a person to douse myself in fragrance. Maybe in high school. But I’ve always been appreciative of a relatively intimate scent bubble. My rule of thumb is: Don’t fill the room but be noticed.

Eau Duelle EDT has pretty poor sillage. But it’s really part of what makes this shine as a fragrance. It’s a green, bright vanilla. The vanilla is specifically so similar to a pure vanilla extract. No sugar, all vanilla. The pepper and juniper are there but sit behind the prominent vanilla. Being a EDT lets these bright notes burst.

It’s fun to layer and play with Eau Duelle EDT. L’Eau Papier is an amazing base for it. It dances with the steamed rice/ sesame notes and creates a signature scent worthy fragrance. Orpheon as well. It creates an incense-y vanilla with a woodier base.

Eau Duelle EDT isn’t trying to be loud, and that’s exactly why it works. It’s proof that a fragrance doesn’t need to be beast mode to be beautiful. The way its pure, unsweetened vanilla hums close to the skin makes it feel effortless—almost like a secret.

Vanilla Overload
I have a sample of this and wow! - it's vanilla overload. There's nothing muted about it from the start.

Imagine a very strong, creamy vanilla ice cream and you have Eau Duelle.

Vanilla Spice...
Eau Duelle is a spicy vanilla fragrance, but this spices are not ones you would typically expect in the style of the feminine orientals like Shalimar, Opium etc. Instead... Eau Duelle has what I call "green" spices, like cardamom & herbs. These feature juniper, pink pepper, elemi resin (which to me smells "juicy") and olibanum (frankincense). I think this makes it different, and versatile in many different ways. In can be worn by a man, as I think the vanilla is balanced with the dry herbs and spices here. It can of course be worn by a woman equally well.

Note: I am reviewing the Eau de Toilette

I don't find this one too "gourmand" but I think it will appeal to people looking for a gourmand and those who are not alike. This is one I could wear happily in my collection. A really great choice for an interesting take on vanilla. Unisex and worth a try for everyone out there.

Link's SOTD
This is what Link puts on before meeting up with Zelda for an evening walk around Hyrule Castle grounds. Light woody fairytale like scent. Love the piney juniper opening with the light incense and vanilla dusted wood chips.

I also own G Water and Eau Duelle EDT lasts longer, has more sillage, wears lighter YET has just as much, if not more depth. Balsamic touches and light spices dance about underneath this soft cloud of vanilla. Wonderful understated creation by the house of Diptyque.

Very close to the EdP version but a bit more spice and less vanilla here; a bit lighter, more suitable for warmer weather.

On one sniff it's a basic vanilla. On the other it has some herbal aspects which differentiate it from others. I'll have to try it more.

A very dry and unintrusive vanilla. Reminds me of preparing vanilla for baking, when it's pure and used as a spice and not mixed with sugar.

Green & vanilla with a strong note of spice that goes straight up my nose. Dry, but not overwhelmingly so - well-balanced.

Not too sweet. Nice and subtle. Reminds me a bit of Angelique Noire. Easy to wear to work.

Spicy cypriol with a kiss of dry vanilla. Warm but a bit wild. Smoking cloves outside a bar in someone else's oversized suede jacket.

Ikea vanilla candle inside a library, a less gourmand-y version of the edp. Hype justified.
