An all right citrus-vetiver freshness, counterbalanced by pepper, wood and later in the drydown some incense notes. A standard theme played out often and nothing special.

Basically I am looking for something along the lines of Eau Duelle, but for a fraction of the price. Something vanilla, and woodsy predominantly but also light. If you have tried Eau Duelle, then ya know what I mean by "light" in this sense. Also, if you have ever smelled Raw Vanilla.. this dry down (very similar to Eau Duelle)

Keep it under 30 bucks.. All suggestions will be taken into consideration. Thanks

Vanille Noire by Yves Rocher, more cedar than sandalwood, but an amazing fragrance nonetheless. I'm a fan of Eau Duelle, and while this doesn't remind me exactly of it, it's of the same quality. For some reason, it reminds me of Miami Beach.
