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.
