MUCH ADO ABOUT THE DUKE
The handsome young Duke’s peppery rose fragrance sets hearts aflutter – but not the ones you might think. His wife, the most coveted girl in London, seems not to interest him at all. Fancy that.

Much ado about the Duke - if you are looking for a fragrance that is Quirky slightly eccentric and androgynous then I think this is a perfect fit perfectly crisp and fresh but also with a beautiful woddy/vetiver base this is a fragrance that will hold to the skin well and will not overpower you The use of London dry gin, Rose, Cedarwood all work together in a way that i find very unique in a fragrance and is something i am more than sure you wont find in any other fragrance house helping you truly stand out from the crowd I love this fragrance as it works amazingly as a cool rose scent that could be worn by ladies and gents equally and its a fragrance i have had lovely complements for wearing too I would recommend if you wanted to layer this fragrance and would like to bring out the woody notes then try the Endyminon Hand & Body lotion or if you wanted the more floral rose to be more apparent then try the Luna hand & body lotion Would recommend a small amount to be sprayed onto your clothing if you want this to last a little bit longer

The Duke is a flamboyant fragrance with a mystical undertone. His playful spirit is just like an English hound, and this becomes evident when the notes of gin appear. When I wear this fragrance I feel confident and elegant, but its uplifting rose and gin combination, make it vibrant and fresh.
