Good things come to those who wait
Oftentimes the initial stage of a fragrance is the most exciting part and it's rare –at least for me– for the fading drydown to beat an opening full of fireworks. Eau Duelle is one of such exceptions: a scent that requires patience in order to reach the proverbial pot of gold.

The first few minutes may come across as too loud or agressive particularly for a Dyptique fragrance, usually so full of restraint. There is an abundant bright spice that is fizzy like ambroxan, and it combines with cypriol oil to create an almost sour accord that the most sensitive nostrils won't appreciate. Thankfully this stage doesn't last too long.

Once the spice settles the real protagonist rears its head. It's a warm, slightly powdery and very pleasant vanilla –far from sickly sweet– next to some wood and incense. This is a much more enjoyable combo that comes to the forefront fully as time goes by, ending up in a sober, unisex vanillic woodwork smell with a hint of smoke. It's a perfume that could be categorized as spicy, woody and sweet but it never approaches gourmand territory.

A few hours later most of the notes are gone and there is just a faint vanilla scent on the skin, so comforting that one wishes it would never fully fade away.

Love at first sniff
At first I struggled to smell it , I really don’t know why because now I can smell it correctly maybe because I were smelling other decants before this ( this was a decant too not in a spray bottle I just had to opened it to smell ) I was a little bit disapointed and gave it directly to my mom who were in love with the smell ( which I didn’t understand because I cannot smell it before ) but at the exact moment she put a little bit of juice on her wrist and I went to smell it I immediatly regret giving it haha and cannot stop sniffing her wrist ( which is a little bit ankward but I didn’t care haha ) I completely fell in love with it !!! this fragrance is just sooo good it’s smell exactly like a bourbon vanilla a spicy vanilla / smoky vanilla with so much warm in it not a sweet vanilla tho but a sophisticated one I think It will be perfect for the vanilla haters , then come the scent of incense and oh my god I don’t know if it’s because I always put incense in my home everytime I feel good but this note makes the fragrance more comfy more cosy ! I really have a instant hapiness when I just smelling it in the mini bottle
I think It will be perfect for everyone and anytime especially for autumn because it got a cozy vibe to it but I really think I can rock with it all year long
This is definetly a unisex perfume and will be smelling so good on a man ( unfortenetly never experience it yet :( ) Some people said the EDT smell better , according to the notes I really don’t know but I will try it and buy a full bottle of the EDP !!
btw sorry for my bad english I’m a french speaker :)

for vanilla lovers
It's a strong vanilla scent for vanilla lovers. For me it is a little bit to flat, a scent does not develope enough. It is the same from the beginning to end. Than after a few days rather boring. Like book which you begin to read knowing how it end up. Who would like to read such kind of book…

Cozy, warm, a touch of Sweetness
For those who aren't into full-on gourmands but appreciate a hint of sweetness with complexity and depth, this might work for you. It feels luxurious yet sexy and comforting at the same time. For me, it evokes the image of roasting marshmallows by a cozy log cabin; a touch of smoke, a bit of the forest, the scent of gooey marshmallows in the cool air, and a lemon pound cake baking in the cabin ( I know there are no lemon notes here, but I still pick some up, maybe the Cypriot) all while wrapped in a cashmere blanket. Though it works year-round, I especially love wearing it in cooler weather.

Snowy scenery, bungalows, and the warmth of wood
I once said I liked vanilla at a Diptyque store, and they told me to try the EDP, so I tried it. I also had them spray it on paper and put it in plastic, and I kept smelling it when I got home. At the time, I was impressed that it smelled like high-quality vanilla ice cream scooped up with a wooden spoon.
The top smells like a warm bungalow. The room temperature is about 23 degrees.
The gentle aroma of wood and a slightly pencil-like scent drifts, and the ingredients in the scent give you a sense of healing. It's a more bitter and fragrant scent than you'd expect. It's a little powdery, with a touch like the surface of a marshmallow. It also smells like a yellowed old book in a library. (It's probably hard to imagine.) After all, wearing it at the store and smelling it at home are completely different.
I wanted a full bottle of this, but for some reason I don't really want it anymore. Maybe it's because I smelled Vanille de Tahiti by Perris Monte Carlo. I was looking for a scent that smelled like vanilla ice cream, so Diptyque was at the top of my list until I discovered Perris. But after I discovered the vanilla ice cream that sparkles from the jasmine and ylang-ylang fields, I'm hooked.
I don't dislike this scent, and I like it, but I can't say it's a scent I'd be willing to pay a lot of money to have. That said, for those who don't like ZARA or strong Beast Mode Vanilla, I recommend this because you can fully enjoy the natural vanilla scent. I don't think it will give you a headache.

One of my favorite fragrances for everyday use, especially in autumn. Cozy, comforting and non-offensive but at the same time never boring.

For me this is a very good spicy/peppery vanilla without a significant evolution. Warm, sweet and good for everyday use.

Soft incense vanilla, warm and cool at the same time. Very familiar, cuddly, if not a little obvious. Still pretty comforting easy to like!

Vanilla unfolds in combination with juniper and elemi its beauty. Soft and well balanced between gourmand, woody and spicy.

Mild vanilla with a pinch of spicyness in the opening and dryness from incense which is otherwise not prominent. Performance could be better
