  |  Maybe there’s a reason for all the short reviews preceding this one. Heck, I’m rarely at a loss for words about a fragrance (i.e., I often ramble), but I can’t find much to say about this one. Straightforward tea on a thin leather base, and not much else. Next…18 October 2008 |

|  Dark tea with lemon. Musk and light leathrs. A broody scent.To combine two reviews here: hampster heaven. 11 October 2008 |
 | Natural, understated, gentle, light and refreshing. It's such a pity that the smoke/incense note is so strong that it ruins the scent completely. Have to give it a thumbs down. If they tones that note down, it would be a thumbs up. 07 September 2008 |
 |  smells like heaven! :)quite a fresh scent for me and my taste. but very nice! it seems that i like tea-notes ... 25 July 2008 |

| Sorry, but this smells like hamster cage! 04 July 2008 |
 | Completely forgettable for me, but if there's iris present, that may be the cause. Suffering an iris anosmia, there's just not much going on in this fragrance for me. On the plus side, there's off-putting about it. 29 May 2008 |
  | Duel is lovely and refreshing, not as the generic aquatic stuff, but in a refined, classic way. I thought I detected bergamot and mint, but none of the notes are listed. I normally don't like mint, but the minty touch in Duel is nice and dry, something like AvaLuxe's Moroccan Mint Tea. It might be the tea notes I guess. I don't smell tea per se, but I like tea and I like Duel, while those who don't like tea don't seem to enjoy it. This is a light cologne-type scent and longevity is rather poor, but it certainly is pleasant on a hot day! 07 June 2007 |
 | pure black tea, and not my cup of tea let me tell you! 26 April 2006 |
|
| It has some nice tea notes, but there is also a sweet & sour accord in it that reminds me of tamarine candy. It might just be a lemon/bergamot note interacting with the other notes, but it's a bit tart for my tastes. In terms of longevity, it lasts longer than Eau d'Hadrien...but that's not saying much. 29 December 2005 |

| A very brisk and refreshing green tea fragrance that will be perfect for hotter temps in the summer. Longevity is an issue though, double spray here to get any sort of duration. 07 November 2005 |

| On Guard! Drop that hanky and draw your sword! Well, that's what the makers would have you believe (that the scent is worth dying for). And you know something... they're wrong. But hell, I wouldn't mind suffering a near death experience for this stuff (preferably with a member of the opposite sex on top--would that be asking too much?) The great Ali once lamented this smells very similar to Creed Imperial, which it does... to an extent. Go and try some yourself and be your own judge. You may just become the Fourth Muskateer. 07 October 2005 |

| Dare I say I perceive Duel as somewhat "farty". The flatulant notes aside this is a very dry scent, clearly noticeable Iris - unfortunately not in the same nice fashion as in the new Dior Homme. I don't detet any tea here at all - is this supposed to be a tea-fragragrance? Whatever, not appealing at all to my nose. 22 September 2005 |
|
| a gorgeous fresh masculine scent. Not cistrus fresh though. long lasting. green 04 August 2005 |
|
| Curious mixture of elements initially, but developed into a burnt rubber scent that even the mint could not help out with. Obviously not for all skin chemistrys - a warning against a blind purchase. 31 July 2005 |
|
| Tea, tea, tea! With lemon. Light and fresh. I believe it's a 5-6 spray scent if you want lingering effects. I like it, it's good for most any occasion. 30 September 2004 |
|
| Great! Starts off sprakling and fresh with a warm aromatic base...a little on the light side as the lasting power is short, and the base doesn't really develop, but nonetheless a refreshing surprise form AG! 02 November 2003 |
