It's Hard Out Here For A B....
Since Dueto clearly targets a younger customer base, I'll just quote the current Lilly Allen hit in my title, which I initially found quite cool but has now been almost overplayed by the uninspired German radio. This cheeky pop song is more cheerful and bitchy, rather than dark and bitchy, but at least one adjective fits.
Besides the song, the fragrance also reminds me of a more feminine Black Tie. A dark, juicy rose-oud combo - good, but overdone. The opening with cinnamon-lemony powdery violet is quite an acquired taste and already exudes a certain medical darkness, almost tomb-like. Sweet, dark, a bit chaotic, very synthetic, and sometimes unpleasantly piercing! Only slowly does the fragrance calm down, and it becomes beautiful. Almost a 180-degree turn from the failed part 1.
Bottle: I like purple the least.
Sillage: still tame for a rose-oud combo.
Longevity: 9/10 points and hours!
I'm slowly getting annoyed with Dueto, as they just can't manage to create a consistently good fragrance from start to finish. Here, once again, only the dry down is noteworthy. But both the oud and patchouli from the brand seem to come from the top class, as they really save a lot with their balsamic-gourmand appearance in the finale!
