Anatole Lebreton Duende is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Anatole Lebreton. Duende opens with Davana and Allspice, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, and dries down to a base of Ambroxan, Civet, and Castoreum. Anatole Lebreton's Duende carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

Duende is a delicious chocolate gourmand that's surprisingly wearable despite its animalic edge. It's a bit divisive - some are instantly repulsed, others adore its unique complexity, but it leans more towards indulgence than brooding darkness.

About

Duende opens with a boozy, fruity pop from davana blended with the warm, rich spice of allspice. Soon, a prominent cacao pod note emerges, deep and slightly dry, like a sophisticated dark chocolate. This moves into a warm, sensual drydown of powdery amber (Ambroxan) intertwined with the earthy, slightly dirty undertones of civet and castoreum, giving it a surprising animalic depth that grounds the sweetness.
