Eau Duelle EDT

I have been searching for a “grown up” woody vanilla scent for AGES, managed to get a sample of this and immediately decided it would be my next big bottle buy. First spray is vanilla forward with definite woods (I say pencil shavings or the smell of the woodwork class in school when fresh wood was being cut) and then it settles into a beautiful sweet woody scent on the skin, it is not a beast mode and is not over powering, it’s soft, close to the skin, cosy and a great not sickly vanilla scent, would be fine for work but ultimately I see myself wearing this in the colder months for crisp morning coffee runs, trips to the book store/library, or girls nights out in winter to the theatre/music shows, or at home cosying up with a book/fresh baking. Stunning and I’ll never not have a bottle!

My go to, signature scent. I’ve heard it can be a bit precocious for some folks, but it works perfectly for my skin chemistry, and has a lot of longevity for me (I’ll often still smell it as I hop into the shower after a long day). Thought it’s predominantly an intimate scent, it’s got surprisingly good projection and I’ve had people double back to chase me down and find out what scent I’m wearing. It’s a softly spiced vanilla that doesn’t read as vanilla. It’s softly cozy but on my skin also feels fresh and youthful after a few hours. Absolutely adore it.

I had spent the better part of a whole week trying to find a nice clean scent that has those warm notes of vanilla, and eau duelle is perfect. It sprays a very clean almost woody initially, but as it warms on the skin, the vanilla peeks through. I constantly get compliments whenever I where this. My only qualm is that it doesn't linger. That said it's a beautiful scent and worth every penny.
