Diptyque Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum: A Considered Review

There is a category of fragrance bought once and remembered for years, and Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum sits in it for a measurable reason. This EDP from Diptyque, built on Vanilla, Woody, Amber, Warm Spicy, Powdery, Balsamic and released in 2013, was composed to be distinctive first and agreeable second. The data below shows exactly where that trade-off lands.

A vanilla for those who hate vanilla; it is dry, papery, woody, and resinous rather than edible, sweet, or cupcake-like.
