Jesús del Pozo Duende is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1992, created by Olivier Cresp. Duende settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Thyme, and Wormwood. Jesús del Pozo's Duende carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This 90s gem is a divisive one. For some, it's a beautifully fresh, green-floral, reminiscent of walking through a dewy meadow. For others, it's a synthetic sour scrubber. If you can hunt down an original bottle, you might be in for a treat; newer formulations might be where the real split in opinion lies.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Duende opens with a bright, almost tart, citrus blast, quickly moving into a heart dominated by lush yellow florals. Mimosa and jasmine intertwine, creating a gently sweet and powdery bouquet, while subtle green and aromatic notes of thyme and wormwood prevent it from becoming cloying. The base settles into a clean, soft woody embrace of cedar and sandalwood, maintaining an airy freshness throughout.
