Citrus Notes: Absolute of Green Maté, Petitgrain Paraguay, Iris Root, Gaiac Wood, Leather, Musk. The morning chorus, a beam of sunlight, the battle of day breaking through night. Goutal’s ‘Duel’ Eau de Parfum brings a focussed singularity to fragrance, honing in on the sensual nobility of awakenings. Striking a delicate balance between softness and strength, the blend juxtaposes bold freshness with the gentlest of touches. Notes of Leather and Gaiac Wood create an earthy steadfastness while Iris Root brings a shiver of anticipation at the first rays of dawn. This is broken by the verdant presence of Absolu Maté, twisting with zesty Paraguay Seed for an uncovering of sparkling citrus radiance. It’s an animalistic olfactory experience, closely connected to nature and the human spirit. The Perfume slips onto skin like it was always meant to be there, a duality of self and other.
