Spiced Vanilla Route No. 18 — Inspired by Diptyque Eau Duelle (2010)

A dry, spiced vanilla rather than a sugary dessert scent. Tea, cardamom and incense keep the vanilla airy and intellectual, while woods create a calm, lasting finish.

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes

Cardamom, pink pepper and elemi. The opening establishes the fragrance’s first burst of freshness, greenery, fruit or spice.

Heart Notes

Bourbon vanilla and black tea. This middle stage reveals the main identity of the scent once the opening begins to settle.

Base Notes

Calamus, incense and dry woods. The drydown provides depth, texture and the longest-lasting impression on skin and clothing.

Overall Scent Summary

A dry, spiced vanilla rather than a sugary dessert scent. Tea, cardamom and incense keep the vanilla airy and intellectual, while woods create a calm, lasting finish. Best worn during autumn and winter, especially for office, reading, dinner and bedtime ritual.

Estimated Longevity

• EDT: approximately 6–8 hours on skin.
• EDP: approximately 8–10 hours on skin, with a richer base and stronger presence.

Longevity is an estimate, not a performance guarantee. Skin chemistry, weather, spray count and fabric can change the result.

Style & Wearing Guide

Pair with camel coats, knitwear, corduroy and warm neutral layers. Use two to four sprays for professional or shared indoor spaces, and one additional spray for outdoor or evening wear.

Perfumer’s Note

“This interpretation keeps the recognisable olfactory idea clear while refining the transitions from opening to heart and drydown for practical modern wear.”
