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.

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.”
