Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Duel
Duel is Goutal's 'love it or hate it' cult classic. Many adore its unique, natural tea and leather aroma, finding it elegant and understated. But be warned, its divisive take on bitterness and truly abysmal performance drive plenty of folk absolutely mental.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Vitesse Carbon
This budget beast is a divisive crowd-pleaser. Some reckon it's a stellar blend of two iconic scents, offering luxury without the price tag. Others find it a bit too synthetic or redundant. If you like fresh, clean, and iris, it's a solid blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Duel

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its poor projection and longevity mean this is best suited for scenarios where subtlety is key, like office wear or casual outings, where it won't offend. The fresh, herbal accords lend themselves well to warmer weather or casual daytime activities, avoiding formal settings due to its understated nature.

Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

With its fresh, clean, and long-lasting nature, Vitesse Carbon is versatile enough for daily wear, securing its spot as a potential signature scent for the office or casual outings. However, its strong projection and the iris-powder accord might be a tad much for highly formal events or intense sport.
