A closer look at Annick Goutal Duel EDP
Duel EDP comes from Annick Goutal. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Amouage Beloved Man and Penhaligon's Penhaligons Trade Routes Halfeti spread further.
Which weather suits it
It is at its best in spring. It is less suited to winter. From best to least suited, the seasons are spring, fall, summer and winter. If you need something for winter, Penhaligon's Penhaligons Trade Routes Halfeti is a better fit. Its fresh smell feels good on warm days.
Duel for work or evenings
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy.
Duel longevity
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Amouage Beloved Man and Imaginary Authors The Cobra and The Canary unisex last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and guaiac wood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Its style
The strongest accord is aromatic (100%), followed by fresh spicy and woody. You will probably like it if you enjoy aromatic and fresh spicy smells and notes like artemisia and leather. Less obvious notes include musk. Perfume fans rate it 4.04 out of 5.
