Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Built on musky, white floral and tobacco - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Office Casual

Given its strong but not overwhelming nature and elegant blend of notes like suede and frankincense, it’s highly suitable for dates and formal events. While sophisticated, its unique character makes it a good fit for smart casual outings, but it's too refined for sportswear.

About

Duet II opens with a delicate interplay of bright jasmine and the spicy warmth of nutmeg, deepened by a smoky, resinous frankincense. It transitions into a rich heart where soft suede and musky undertones melt into sweet tonka and the refined earthiness of tobacco. The base settles into a creamy vanilla, grounded by subtle cedar, creating a smoothly blended, sweet, and subtly leathery aura.
