The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Andrea Maack, Dual is a Woody Spicy fragrance that balances bright citrus freshness with warm, enveloping woody notes. The opening burst of lemon and pink pepper gives way to the earthy warmth of ginger and cedar, creating a dynamic tension between zesty brightness and rich depth. This composition reads as both invigoratingly fresh and comforting, making it equally at home in the morning light or the evening cool.

How to wear it

Dual has a noticeable balance between its bright top notes and its warm base. Apply one or two sprays to capture both layers — the lemon and pink pepper top notes will greet you initially, while the cedar and amber base notes reveal themselves over time, providing lasting warmth.
