What does Duel (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with petitgrain and maté, giving a citrusy, green freshness. In the heart, absinth and orris root add a floral, slightly spicy touch, while musk, leather and gaiac wood anchor the base in a woody, earthy foundation.
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a low profile. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall a close third. It is chosen mostly for daily wear, leisure and business. Most voters read it as masculine, though a share also find it feminine.
